Hi Matt, Change init to use a PortParameter instead of a Parameter. Probably the easiest thing to do is to copy ptolemy/actor/lib/Ramp.java and create a new actor as per https://kepler-project.org/developers/reference/adding-a-new-java-actor-to-kepler-a-quick-tutorial
In your new version of Ramp, look at the code for step, which uses a PortParameter already. Note that you will need call init.update() to get the value of the PortParameter before using it, see http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/ptIIlatest/ptII/doc/codeDoc/ptolemy/actor/parameters/PortParameter.html So, Ramp.attributeChanged() and Ramp.initialize() would need a call to init.update() before calling init.getToken() _Christopher On 1/18/10 6:39 AM, Matt Luck wrote: > Greetings, > > I am a new Kepler user just getting started with modifying actor code. > I am hoping that someone can help me figure out how to modify the > ptolemy.actor.lib.Ramp actor to accept the init value as an integer via > an input port (e.g., a Const actor). > > Thanks in advance! > > Matt > > > > _______________________________________________ > Kepler-users mailing list > Kepler-users at kepler-project.org > http://mercury.nceas.ucsb.edu/kepler/mailman/listinfo/kepler-users -- Christopher Brooks, PMP University of California CHESS Executive Director US Mail: 337 Cory Hall Programmer/Analyst CHESS/Ptolemy/Trust Berkeley, CA 94720-1774 ph: 510.643.9841 fax:510.642.2718 (Office: 545Q Cory) home: (F-Tu) 707.665.0131 cell: 707.332.0670
