Method Detail

macOSLookAndFeel

public static boolean macOSLookAndFeel()

Return true if we are running under MacOS look and feel or if the ptolemy.ptII.MacOS property is defined. To define ptolemy.ptII.MacOS, invoke Vergil with java -Dptolemy.ptII.MacOS=true -classpath $PTII ptolemy.vergil.VergilApplication Or, under Cygwin:

  export JAVAFLAGS=-Dptolemy.ptII.MacOS=true
  $PTII/bin/vergil
  

If the ptolemy.ptII.MacOS property is set to true, this method prints the message "ptolemy.ptII.MacOS = true property detected".

Returns:

True if the look and feel starts with "Mac OS" or the ptolemy.ptII.MacOS property is set to true.
