public class Plotter
extends PlotterBase

Base class for plotters. This class contains an instance of the Plot class from the Ptolemy plot package as a public member. It provides a parameter that determines whether to fill the plot when wrapup is invoked. It also has a legend parameter, which gives a comma-separated list of labels to attach to each dataset. Normally, the number of elements in this list should equal the number of input channels, although this is not enforced.

This actor also provides a parameter startingDataset, which specifies the starting point for the number of the dataset to use to create the plots. This defaults to zero, but will typically be set to a positive number when more than one instance of a plotter actor shares the same plot object.

Ptolemy II 1.0

Field Detail

startingDataset

public Parameter startingDataset

The starting dataset number to which data is plotted. This parameter has type IntToken, with default value 0. Its value must be non-negative.

Constructor Detail

Plotter

public Plotter(CompositeEntity container,
               java.lang.String name)
        throws IllegalActionException,
               NameDuplicationException

Construct an actor with the given container and name.

Parameters:

container - The container.

name - The name of this actor.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the actor cannot be contained by the proposed container.

NameDuplicationException - If the container already has an actor with this name.

Method Detail

attributeChanged

public void attributeChanged(Attribute attribute)
                      throws IllegalActionException

If the attribute is startingDataset, then check its validity.

Overrides:

attributeChanged in class PlotterBase

Parameters:

attribute - The attribute that changed.

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the specified attribute is startingDataset and its value is negative, or if the superclass throws it.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws IllegalActionException

If the plot has not already been created, create it. If configurations specified by a call to configure() have not yet been processed, process them. Clear the data sets that this actor is responsible for (starting with the one indexed by startingDataset, up to startingDataset + width - 1, where width is the width of the input port.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Initializable

Overrides:

initialize in class AtomicActor<TypedIOPort>

Throws:

IllegalActionException - If the parent class throws it.
