Constructor Detail

MultiContent

public MultiContent(T contentPrototype)

Create a new multi-content frame based on a content prototype.

Parameters:

contentPrototype - A prototype of the content area. This prototype is used to create multiple content areas on demand.

MultiContent

public MultiContent(T contentPrototype,
                    CompositeEntity model)
             throws IllegalActionException,
                    NameDuplicationException

The constructor takes a model that is parsed for elements with location attributes. All that should be represented are parsed and placed in multiple content areas depending on their parameters.

Parameters:

model - The model to be parsed.

contentPrototype - A prototype of the content area. This prototype is used to create multiple content areas on demand.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If any of the elements can't be places into a content area.

NameDuplicationException - If multiple elements exist with the same name. Element names within a workspace must be unique.

                               NameDuplicationException

Add a new content area to the MultiContent with a specific content. The new content area will be the last in order.

Parameters:

topLevel - The container containing all tab definitions. If the container does not have the attribute that contains all tab definition information, it will be created.

Returns:

The tab identifier.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an attribute already in the container.

IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container, if the name contains a period, or if a content area with the same tag already exist.

Parameters:

topLevel - The container containing all tab definitions. If the container does not have the attribute that contains all tab definition information, it will be created.

tabTag - The tag identifier used for the content area.

tabName - Name of the tab. Can be used for visualization.

Returns:

The tab identifier.

Throws:

NameDuplicationException - If the name coincides with an attribute already in the container.

IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container, if the name contains a period, or if a content area with the same tag already exist.
