ptolemy.vergil.basic.ExportParameters

public class ExportParameters
extends java.lang.Object

A data structure containing parameters for exporting a Ptolemy model to a web page. This data structure will typically be provided by an instance of WebExportParameters, which is an Attribute that can be stored in a model.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
protected NamedObj	_jsCopier Directory into which JavaScript and related files have been written, or null if they are not being copied.
java.awt.Color	backgroundColor Background color.
boolean	copyJavaScriptFiles If true, then make an exported web page stand alone.
boolean	deleteFilesOnExit If true, files generated will be deleted when the JVM terminates.
java.io.File	directoryToExportTo The directory to export to.
java.lang.String	HTMLPathForFiles The path to use for accessing the file in the HTML code.
java.lang.String	imageFormat The image format to use, which can be one of "gif" (the default), "png", or "jpg".
boolean	openCompositesBeforeExport If true, hierarchically open all composite actors in the model before exporting (so that these also get exported, and hyperlinks to them are created).
boolean	runBeforeExport If true, run the model before exporting (to open plotter or other display windows that get exported).
boolean	showInBrowser If true, open a web browser to display the resulting export.
boolean	usePtWebsite If true, use the server-side includes of the Ptolemy website.

Field Detail

backgroundColor

public java.awt.Color backgroundColor

Background color. A null value indicates to use the background color of the model.

copyJavaScriptFiles

public boolean copyJavaScriptFiles

If true, then make an exported web page stand alone. Instead of referencing JavaScript and image files on the ptolemy.org website, if this parameter is true, then the required files will be copied into the target directory. This is a boolean that defaults to false.

deleteFilesOnExit

public boolean deleteFilesOnExit

If true, files generated will be deleted when the JVM terminates.

directoryToExportTo

public java.io.File directoryToExportTo

The directory to export to.

HTMLPathForFiles

public java.lang.String HTMLPathForFiles

The path to use for accessing the file in the HTML code. This can differ from the physical location of the file in the file system depending on how the exporter accesses the files. For example, an HttpService uses a URL as a path since the WebServer has a resource handler to serve files. The HTML to include e.g. an image would be:

  <img src="/files/imagename.gif"/>
  

even though the image is stored in $PTT/org/ptolemy/ptango/temp, since the resource handler is mapped to http://hostname:port/servicename/files.

imageFormat

public java.lang.String imageFormat

The image format to use, which can be one of "gif" (the default), "png", or "jpg".

openCompositesBeforeExport

public boolean openCompositesBeforeExport

If true, hierarchically open all composite actors in the model before exporting (so that these also get exported, and hyperlinks to them are created).

runBeforeExport

public boolean runBeforeExport

If true, run the model before exporting (to open plotter or other display windows that get exported). Note that it is important the model have a finite run.

showInBrowser

public boolean showInBrowser

If true, open a web browser to display the resulting export.

usePtWebsite

public boolean usePtWebsite

If true, use the server-side includes of the Ptolemy website.

_jsCopier

protected NamedObj _jsCopier

Directory into which JavaScript and related files have been written, or null if they are not being copied.

Constructor Detail

ExportParameters

public ExportParameters()

Construct an instance of this data structure with default values, which are null for backgroundColor, false for copyJavaScriptFiles, null for directoryToExportTo, false for openCompositesBeforeExport, false for runBeforeExport, and true for showInBrowser.

ExportParameters

public ExportParameters(java.io.File directoryToExportTo)

Construct an instance of this data structure with default values, which are null for backgroundColor, false for copyJavaScriptFiles, false for deleteFilesOnExit, false for openCompositesBeforeExport, false for runBeforeExport, true for showInBrowser, and empty String for HTMLPathForFiles.

Parameters:

directoryToExportTo - The directory to export to.

ExportParameters

public ExportParameters(java.io.File directoryToExportTo,
                        ExportParameters template)

Construct an instance of this data structure that is identical to the one given except for directoryToExportTo, which is as specified.

Parameters:

directoryToExportTo - The directory to export to.

template - The template parameters.

Method Detail

getJSCopier

public NamedObj getJSCopier()

Get the composite entity that is copying JavaScript and related files; return null if they are not being copied. Note that this would ideally be protected, as it is used only by ExportHTMLAction, but to avoid package dependencies, we have to make it public.

Returns:

The composite entity that is set to copy JavaScript and related files, or null if they are not being copied.

See Also:

setJSCopier(NamedObj)

setJSCopier

public void setJSCopier(NamedObj copier)

Specify the composite entity responsible for copying JavaScript and related files. Set to null if they are not being copied. This will normally be the same as the model for which these parameters apply, its container, or a container above that in the hierarchy. Note that this would ideally be protected, as it is used only by ExportHTMLAction, but to avoid package dependencies, we have to make it public.

Parameters:

copier - The composite entity responsible for copying JavaScript and related files.
