Class PtolemyApplication

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ExecutionListener
    public class PtolemyApplication
extends MoMLApplication
    This application opens run control panels for models specified on the command line. The exact facilities that are available are determined by the configuration file ptolemy/configs/runPanelConfiguration.xml, which is loaded before any command-line arguments are processed. If there are no command-line arguments at all, then the file ptolemy/configs/runBlankConfiguration.xml is read instead.
