Package ptolemy.moml.filter

Class RemoveGraphicalClasses

java.lang.Object

ptolemy.moml.filter.MoMLFilterSimple

ptolemy.moml.filter.RemoveGraphicalClasses

All Implemented Interfaces:

MoMLFilter

public class RemoveGraphicalClasses
extends MoMLFilterSimple

When this class is registered with the MoMLParser.setMoMLFilter() method, it will cause MoMLParser to filter out graphical classes.

This is very useful for running applets with out requiring files like diva.jar to be downloaded. It is also used by the nightly build to run tests when there is no graphical display present.

See ptolemy.moml.filter.RemoveGraphicalClassesApplication for an application that will remove graphical classes from a file.

Constructor Detail

RemoveGraphicalClasses

public RemoveGraphicalClasses()

Construct a filter that removes graphical classes.

Method Detail

clear

public static void clear()

Clear the map of graphical classes to be removed.

filterAttributeValue

public java.lang.String filterAttributeValue(NamedObj container,
                                             java.lang.String element,
                                             java.lang.String attributeName,
                                             java.lang.String attributeValue,
                                             java.lang.String xmlFile)

Filter for graphical classes and return new values if a graphical class is found. An internal HashMap maps names of graphical entities to new names. The HashMap can also map a graphical entity to null, which means the entity is removed from the model. All class attributeValues that start with "ptolemy.domains.gr" are deemed to be graphical elements and null is always returned. For example, if the attributeValue is "ptolemy.vergil.icon.ValueIcon", or "ptolemy.vergil.basic.NodeControllerFactory" then return "ptolemy.kernel.util.Attribute"; if the attributeValue is "ptolemy.vergil.icon.AttributeValueIcon" or "ptolemy.vergil.icon.BoxedValueIcon" then return null, which will cause the MoMLParser to skip the rest of the element; otherwise return the original value of the attributeValue.

Parameters:

container - The container for this attribute, ignored in this method.

element - The XML element name.

attributeName - The name of the attribute, ignored in this method.

attributeValue - The value of the attribute.

xmlFile - The file currently being parsed.

Returns:

the filtered attributeValue.

filterEndElement

public void filterEndElement(NamedObj container,
                             java.lang.String elementName,
                             java.lang.StringBuffer currentCharData,
                             java.lang.String xmlFile)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

In this class, do nothing.

Parameters:

container - The object created by this element.

elementName - The element name.

currentCharData - The character data, which appears only in the doc and configure elements

xmlFile - The file currently being parsed.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception - Not thrown in this base class.

initialize

public static void initialize()

Initialize the set of classes to remove.

remove

public void remove(java.lang.String className)

Remove a class to be filtered.

Parameters:

className - The name of the class to be filtered out, for example "ptolemy.copernicus.kernel.GeneratorAttribute".

See Also:

put(String, String)

put

public void put(java.lang.String className,
                java.lang.String replacement)

Add a class to be filtered for and its replacement if the class is found. If the replacement is null, then the rest of the attribute is skipped. Note that if you add a class with this method, then you must remove it with remove(String), calling 'new RemoveGraphicalClasses' will not remove a class that was added with this method.

Parameters:

className - The name of the class to be filtered out, for example "ptolemy.copernicus.kernel.GeneratorAttribute".

replacement - The name of the class to be used if className is found. If this argument is null then the rest of the attribute is skipped.

See Also:

remove(String)

setRemoveGR

public void setRemoveGR(boolean removeGR)

Set to true if we should removed classes that start with ptolemy.domains.gr.

Parameters:

removeGR - True if we should remove classes that start with ptolemy.domains.gr.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return a string that describes what the filter does.

Specified by:

toString in interface MoMLFilter

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

the description of the filter that ends with a newline.
