[kepler-dev] Setting _hideName in subclass of ptolemy.actor.lib.Stop

[Michal Owsiak]

Hello all,

I have encountered following issue.

In ptolemy.actor.lib.Stop constructor there are following lines:

_attachText("_iconDescription", "<svg>\n"
                + "<polygon points=\"-8,-19 8,-19 19,-8 19,8 8,19 "
                + "-8,19 -19,8 -19,-8\" " + "style=\"fill:red\"/>\n"
                + "<text x=\"-15\" y=\"4\""
                + "style=\"font-size:11; fill:white;
font-family:SansSerif\">"
                + "STOP</text>\n" + "</svg>\n");

// Hide the name because the name is in the icon.
_hideName = new SingletonParameter(this, "_hideName");
_hideName.setToken(BooleanToken.TRUE);
_hideName.setVisibility(Settable.EXPERT);


I have subclassed from ptolemy.actor.lib.Stop and I want to make actor's
name visible. I am performing following:

_hideName.setToken(BooleanToken.FALSE);
_hideName.setVisibility(Settable.FULL);

however, _hideName parameter is still set to true, while visibility mode
is full. This means that:

_hideName.setVisibility(Settable.FULL);

works fine - visibility mode is changed, while

_hideName.setToken(BooleanToken.FALSE);

does not change _hideName parameter value. What am I doing wrong here?

Regards

Michal
