Ok, so I understand in general what you are saying but I'm not understanding the implementation details. I have created a new Tableau "NewActorWizardTableau" that extends Tableau. Whithin the construtor, I am able to call topEffigy() from the NewActorWizardTableau's container (which is passed in via the constructor). I have the effigy of the top level object, but I can't find any way to actually add a new actor to it. Here's the code of my constructor:
public NewActorWizardTableau(PtolemyEffigy container, String name)
throws IllegalActionException, NameDuplicationException
{
super(container, name);
Effigy e = container.topEffigy();
Container parent = e.showTableaux().getFrame();
NewActorFrame NAFrame = new NewActorFrame(parent);
NAFrame.setBackground(BACKGROUND_COLOR);
setFrame(NAFrame);
}So, my question is: now that I have the top level effigy (Effigy e), how do I add my new actor to the model? I'm still a little foggy on the concepts of the Effigys and Tableaus so please forgive any details that I'm overlooking.
thanks, chad

Are you referring to the actor library when you say tree view? The actor library is a Ptolemy model like any other (see the ptolemy.actor.gui package ... An instance Configuration, which is a CompositeEntity, contains the library). If you add the actors to the model (as opposed to just adding them to the XML file), then they will appear in the tree view.

Hello,
I'm working on a project in which I am writing out and compiling actors dynamically at runtime. I would like these actors to then show up in the treeview on the left side of Vergil but it seems that it only reads the MoML file once. Does anyone know a way to force the tree to reread the MoML file or is there a better way to do this? I am basically adding an <entity> line to a MoML file for each actor that I dynamically generate. If I restart Vergil, the new actors show up but I would rather them be added at runtime.
Any help would be appreciated. I searched the archive for matters such as this and didn't find much. If this has already been discussed before, please just point me in the direction of the thread.
Thanks, Chad Berkley
