[kepler-users] FSMs and Modal Models

[Jianwu Wang]

Hi Oliviero,

     Please check Section 5.3.4 Saving Actors to Your Library of User 
Manual for Kepler 1.0.0 on how to save actors and make them searchable.

     Directors are a little tricky since the above instructions only 
work for actors. I think you have to do it manually. Please check the 
KAR file content in Kepler-1.0.0\kar\directors\ directory. You need to 
create similar KAR files for new directors (the things to be modified 
are xml file name, the first property name in the xml file, the 
'userLevelDocumentation' property in the xml file, the value of 'class' 
property in the xml file, the lsid number in META-INF\MANIFEST.MF file). 
I attached a sample FSMDirector kar file.

     So far, you should be able to see FSMDirector in the component Tab. 
Yet its icon is regular actor icon. To fix the icon problem, you have to 
edit 
Kepler-1.0.0\configs\ptolemy\configs\kepler\uiSVGIconMappingsByClass.properties 
file by adding the class of new director, such as 
'ptolemy.domains.fsm.kernel.FSMDirector=director'.

     After the above steps, you also need to remove ~/.kepler directory 
to make the created kar files to be effective.

     Please also check Section 10.3 Adding an Actor to the Local Library 
and Section 10.4 Sharing an Actor: Creating a KAR File for more 
information.

Best wishes

Sincerely yours
