Constructor Detail

BoundaryDetector

public BoundaryDetector(Receiver receiver)

Construct a BoundaryDetector with the specified containing receiver.

Parameters:

receiver - The receiver containing this BoundaryDetector.

Method Detail

isConnectedToBoundary

public boolean isConnectedToBoundary()
                              throws IllegalActionException

Return true if the receiver containing this boundary detector is connected to a boundary port. A boundary port is an opaque port that is contained by a composite actor. If the containing receiver is connected to a boundary port, then return true; otherwise return false. This method is not synchronized so the caller should be.

Returns:

True if the containing receiver is connected to boundary port; return false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException

isConnectedToBoundaryInside

public boolean isConnectedToBoundaryInside()
                                    throws InvalidStateException,
                                           IllegalActionException

Return true if the receiver containing this boundary detector is connected to the inside of an input boundary port; return false otherwise. A boundary port is an opaque port that is contained by a composite actor. This method is not synchronized so the caller should be.

Returns:

True if the containing receiver is connected to the inside of a boundary port; return false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException

InvalidStateException

isConnectedToBoundaryOutside

public boolean isConnectedToBoundaryOutside()
                                     throws IllegalActionException

Return true if the receiver containing this boundary detector is connected to the outside of an output boundary port; return false otherwise. A boundary port is an opaque port that is contained by a composite actor. If the receiver containing this boundary detector is contained on the inside of a boundary port, then return false. This method is not synchronized so the caller should be.

Returns:

True if the containing receiver is connected to the outside of a boundary port; return false otherwise.

Throws:

IllegalActionException

isInsideBoundary

public boolean isInsideBoundary()

Return true if the receiver containing this boundary detector is contained on the inside of a boundary port. A boundary port is an opaque port that is contained by a composite actor. If the containing receiver is contained on the inside of a boundary port then return true; otherwise return false. This method is not synchronized so the caller should be.

Returns:

True if the containing receiver is contained on the inside of a boundary port; return false otherwise.

isOutsideBoundary

public boolean isOutsideBoundary()

Return true if the receiver containing this boundary detector is contained on the outside of a boundary port. A boundary port is an opaque port that is contained by a composite actor. If the containing receiver is contained on the outside of a boundary port then return true; otherwise return false. This method is not synchronized so the caller should be.

Returns:

True if the containing receiver is contained on the outside of a boundary port; return false otherwise.

reset

public void reset()

Reset the cache variables in boundary detector.
