Hi Edward,
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
