Hi,
I've run into a problem when trying to differentiate whether a composite
should be serialized to moml as a <class> or as an <entity>. In PTII, a
Composite is defined as a <class> within its own moml file. Take
Sinewave (ptolemy/actor/lib/Sinewave.xml) for example:
<class name="Sinewave" extends="ptolemy.actor.TypedCompositeActor">
....</class>
However, within the actor library CompositeEntity, Sinewave is refered
to as an entity (/ptolemy/actor/lib/sequencesources.xml):
<entity name="Sinewave" class="ptolemy.actor.lib.Sinewave"/>
Programmatically, if I serialize Sinewave's moml, the momlParser returns
a class element. This is problematic because I'm altering the actor
library programmatically. When I do a
Sinewave.setContainer("actorLibrary"), it serializes as a class. This
wouldn't be bad, except that when you drag it onto the canvas, it is
then interpreted as a class that needs to be instantiated instead of as
an instance (i.e. the purple box is drawn around it).
Is there a way to tell it to give me the instance moml instead of the
class moml?
thanks,
chad
