Yes, you can put arbitrary "foreign" XML in an object that implements ptolemy.kernel.util.Configurable. For example, the ptolemy.actor.lib.gui.PlotterBase class, which is the base class for all the plotters, implements this interface. If you change the look of a plot, then the MoML file gets populated with PlotML code to specify the look of the plot. For example:
<entity name="SequencePlotter" class="ptolemy.actor.lib.gui.SequencePlotter">
<property name="_windowProperties" class="ptolemy.actor.gui.WindowPropertiesAttribute" value="{bounds={258, 206, 508, 355}, maximized=false}">
</property>
<property name="_plotSize" class="ptolemy.actor.gui.SizeAttribute" value="[500, 300]">
</property>
<property name="_location" class="ptolemy.kernel.util.Location" value="{190, 100}">
</property>
<configure>
<?plotml <!DOCTYPE plot PUBLIC "-//UC Berkeley//DTD PlotML 1//EN"
"http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/xml/dtd/PlotML_1.dtd";>
<plot>
<title>SequencePlotter</title>
<xLabel></xLabel>
<yLabel></yLabel>
<xRange min="0.0" max="9.0"/>
<yRange min="0.0" max="9.0"/>
<default connected="no" marks="dots" stems="yes"/>
</plot>?>
</configure>
</entity
Hope this helps...

Hi,
I would like to extend a moml property with more xml structure. I would like to have a construct that looks like
<property name="x" class="package.class">
<some_structure>
...
</some_structure>
</property>
Currently, I can only see an API for getting the 'value' attribute from the parser. Is there an easy way to extend property so that I could parse structure within it?
thanks, chad
