Field Detail

_concept

protected Concept _concept

The Concept contained by the ConceptAttribute.

Constructor Detail

ConceptAttribute

public ConceptAttribute(NamedObj container,
                        java.lang.String name)
                 throws IllegalActionException,
                        NameDuplicationException

Construct a ConceptAttribute with the specified name and container.

Parameters:

container - The specified container.

name - The specified name.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the attribute is not of an acceptable class for the container, or if the name contains a period.

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

Method Detail

addValueListener

public void addValueListener(ValueListener listener)

Add the specified ValueListener. Currently this class doesn't support any listeners, so this method does nothing.

Parameters:

listener - The listener to add.

See Also:

removeValueListener(ptolemy.kernel.util.ValueListener)

exportMoML

public void exportMoML(java.io.Writer output,
                       int depth,
                       java.lang.String name)
                throws java.io.IOException

Write a MoML description of the ConceptAttribute. Nothing is written if the value is null or "".

Specified by:

exportMoML in interface MoMLExportable

Overrides:

exportMoML in class NamedObj

Parameters:

output - The output stream to write to.

depth - The depth in the hierarchy, to determine indenting.

name - The name to use instead of the current name.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

See Also:

NamedObj.exportMoML(Writer, int, String)

getExpression

public java.lang.String getExpression()

Get the string name of the Concept contained by the ConceptAttribute or the empty string if there is none.

Returns:

The name of the Concept as a string, or the empty string "".

See Also:

Settable.setExpression(String)

getConcept

public Concept getConcept()

Returns the Concept value.

Returns:

a Concept object representing the Concept value contained by the ConceptAttribute.

See Also:

setConcept(ptolemy.data.ontologies.Concept)

getVisibility

public Settable.Visibility getVisibility()

Get the visibility of this Settable, as set by setVisibility(). If setVisibility() has not been called, then this method returns the default Settable.FULL. The returned value is one of the static instances of the Visibility inner class.

Returns:

The visibility of this Settable.

See Also:

setVisibility(Settable.Visibility)

removeValueListener

public void removeValueListener(ValueListener listener)

Remove the specified ValueListener. Currently this class doesn't support any listeners, so this method does nothing.

Parameters:

listener - The listener to remove.

See Also:

addValueListener(ptolemy.kernel.util.ValueListener)

setConcept

public void setConcept(Concept concept)

Specifies the Concept value.

Parameters:

concept - a Concept object specifying the Concept value contained by the ConceptAttribute.

See Also:

getConcept()

setVisibility

public void setVisibility(Settable.Visibility visibility)

Set the visibility of this Settable. The argument should be one of the static public instances of the inner class Visibility. This is enforced by making it impossible to construct instances of this inner class outside this interface definition.

Parameters:

visibility - The visibility of this Settable.

See Also:

getVisibility()

validate

public java.util.Collection<?> validate()
                                 throws IllegalActionException

The validate() method must be implemented to implement the Settable interface but is not relevant for the ConceptAttribute class.

Returns:

null

Throws:

IllegalActionException - To match the signature of the validate() method in the Settable interface, but this is not ever thrown here.
