public class ArrayOfRecordsRecorder
extends Sink

An actor that displays an array of records that arrives on its input port. The records (or a specified subset of the records) are displayed in the icon of the actor. In addition, double clicking on the actor displays the entire array of records in a table. Alt-clicking configures the actor.

Field Detail

colorKey

public StringParameter colorKey
A column name to use as a color key. If this string is non-empty, then it specifies a column name that is used to determine a color for each row. The value in that row and column determines the color via a hash function, so that if two rows are identical in that column, then they are also identical in color. This is a string that defaults to empty, indicating that all rows should be displayed in black.


columns

public Parameter columns
The columns to display when double clicking on the icon. This is an array of strings specifying the column names to display, and the order in which they are displayed. It defaults to ALL, which indicates that all fields should be displayed. In this case, the columns are organized alphabetically.


iconColumns

public Parameter iconColumns
The columns to display in the icon. This is an array of strings specifying the column names to display, and the order in which they are displayed. It defaults to ALL, which indicates that all fields should be displayed. In this case, the columns are organized alphabetically.


records

public Parameter records
Parameter to store the array of records read at the input. This is an array of records that is by default empty.

Constructor Detail

ArrayOfRecordsRecorder

public ArrayOfRecordsRecorder(CompositeEntity container,
                              java.lang.String name)
                       throws NameDuplicationException,
                              IllegalActionException
Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:
container - The container.
name - The name of this actor.
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If the entity cannot be contained by the proposed container.
NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.
Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone(Workspace workspace)
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException
Clone the actor into the specified workspace.

Overrides:
clone in class AtomicActor
Parameters:
workspace - The workspace for the new object.
Returns:
A new actor.
Throws:
java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException - If a derived class contains an attribute that cannot be cloned.

fire

public void fire()
          throws IllegalActionException
Read the input and update the display.

Specified by:
fire in interface Executable
Overrides:
fire in class AtomicActor
Throws:
IllegalActionException - If we fail to update the contents parameter.
