public class ProbeMapImpl

extends BaseImpl

implements SwarmObject, SwarmObjectS, ProbeConfig, ProbeConfigS, ProbeMapS, ProbeMap

A container class for Probes used to specify the contents of a ProbeDisplay.. A ProbeMap is a Map-type collection of Probes. They are used to gather several Probes, who usually have a common referent, into a single bundle. For example, all the instance variables of a ModelSwarm might be gathered into a single ProbeMap. Each ProbeMap is then installed into the global ProbeLibrary.

Constructor Detail

ProbeMapImpl

public ProbeMapImpl()

ProbeMapImpl

public ProbeMapImpl(Zone aZone)

The create: message creates a new instance of a type with default options. The zone argument specifies the source of storage for the new object. The receiving object of this message is a previously defined type object. The message is declared as a class message (with a + declaration tag) to indicate that the message is accepted only by the type object itself rather than an already created instance of the type (which a - declaration tag otherwise defines). The create: message returns the new object just created. This object is an instance of some class selected to implement the type. The class which a type selects to implement an object may be obtained by the getClass message, but is not otherwise visible to the calling program. A caller never refers to any class name when creating objects using these messages, only to type names, which are automatically published as global constants from any @protocol declaration.
