public abstract class Anim_applet

extends java.applet.Applet

implements java.lang.Runnable, java.awt.event.ActionListener, java.awt.event.AdjustmentListener, Traceable, Sim_reporter

The superclass for all animated simulations.

Users that want to add animation to their simulations need to subclass Anim_applet. Following this they should override some or all of the following methods:

• anim_layout: This method must be overriden to set up the entities and link their ports. Before setting up the entities, the sample generators' seed sequences could be modified.
• anim_init: This method may be overriden to add GUI components to the simulation's animation. The way to do this would be to prepare the components and then add them to the applet. The applet uses a BorderLayout. The user in anim_init may add to "North", "East" and "West" (for example this.add("North", anOptionsPanel)).
• anim_completed: This method may be overriden to add code that will be executed once the simulation completes.
• anim_output: This method may be overriden to control the reporting information of the animation. Since version 1.3, the simulation's report and simulation messages may be included in animated simulations.
• sim_setup: This method may be overriden to add simulation conditions and set simulation parameters. If a transient or termination condition is being used and if an output analysis method is selected this method must be overriden to call these methods on Sim_system.

More information of how to use these methods and how to add animation to simulations can be found at the SimJava Tutorial.

Constructor Detail

Anim_applet

public Anim_applet()

Method Detail

anim_layout

public abstract void anim_layout()

Setup the simulation. This method must be overriden in the subclass and completed to add the simulation's entities and to link their ports.

anim_init

public void anim_init()

Set up additional GUI components. This method may be overriden to specify additional GUI components in the simulation's applet. This method is called once the applet starts up.

anim_completed

public void anim_completed()

Define code to be execute upon simulation completion. This method is called when the simulation completes.

sim_setup

public void sim_setup()

Specify simulation conditions, an output analysis method and other simulation parameters. If any of these are used in the simulation this method must be overriden to make the relevant Sim_system calls.

anim_output

public void anim_output()

Specify the level of reporting the animation should provide. This method may be overriden to specify that the simulation's report and messages should be displayed on the applet.

The only code that should be included here are a call to generate_report and a call to generate_messages.

The default, if this method is not overriden, is to add only the simulation's messages.

generate_report

public void generate_report(boolean do_report)

Generate the simulation's report. This method should be called within the overriden anim_output method.

Parameters:

do_report - true if the report should be generated, false otherwise.

generate_messages

public void generate_messages(boolean do_messages)

Generate the simulation's messages. This method should be called within the overriden anim_output method.

Parameters:

do_messages - true if the messages should be generated, false otherwise.
