Hi,

In my Ptolemy simulation, I have several classes,refered in a XML file.
On finding an error in a class, I recompile it. But Ptolemy refuses to
notice the updated file. if I close my simulation window, and tell
vergil to reopen my xml file, it doesnt use the updated classes.
The only workaround I have noticed is to restart Vergil.

I am running PtolemyII-3.0p locally on a PII350/SuSE8/2.4.18 system
with 128 MB RAM. No amount of sync/rehash's solve the problem.

Yes, this is (currently) correct. The difficulty is that the user interface for Ptolemy II
is relatively tightly bound to the underlying Java code for atomic actors.
I agree that it would be nice if actors could be dynamically reloaded. One of the
things we are currently working on is some integration with the
Eclipse Java environment, which will likely include a way to automatically
save and reload any open models, using recompiled classes.


Anyone else noticed this? or know some workarounds?

The SVG support under Ptolemy is not well documented. The DIVA
library(IIRC) provides limited SVG functionality. The table 5.11 fails
to mention non-supported SVG options like rounded corners of boxes,
and filled polygons. Also, is there another updated version of Diva
available which has support for the path tag?(esp arcs?). The SVG
Errors are also not very verbose. Are verbose SVG error messages
available? If so, how?

Given the complexity of SVG it wasn't feasible for us to sit down and write
a complete SVG implementation. When I did this, java SVG libraries were extremely primitive.
I'll take another look at what it would take to integrate with XML/Batik.
