public class WireElement
extends Element

Wire Element class. Any element which used just as contact and shouldn't be used in calculations should be inherited from this base class (examle: wire or node connector).

WireElement(): Constructs WireElement without initial wires.
WireElement(int, int): Constructs WireElement with two initial wire directions.
WireElement(WireElement): Constructs empty WireElement.

getCurrent(int, double): Main function for calculations.
getInfo(int): Returns information for this element, such as voltage, current etc.
getProperties(): This method is called to get values of element.
paint(Graphics, int, Dimension, boolean, boolean): Paints the element on the given graphic context.
parseString(String): This method is called to load new values to element from string.
setProperties(String[]): This method is called to set new values to element.

WireElement

 public WireElement()

Constructs WireElement without initial wires.

WireElement

 public WireElement(WireElement e)

Constructs empty WireElement.

WireElement

 public WireElement(int dir1,
                    int dir2)

Constructs WireElement with two initial wire directions.

Parameters:: dir1 - 1st direction for WireElement (should be NORTH, SOUTH, WEST or EAST).; dir2 - 2nd direction for WireElement (should be NORTH, SOUTH, WEST or EAST).

getCurrent

 public Polynom getCurrent(int dir,
                           double timeStep)

Main function for calculations.

Overrides:: getCurrent in class Element

getProperties

 public Object[] getProperties()

This method is called to get values of element. Six Objects for each parameter:

Name of parameter
Value
Minimal valid order
Maximal valid order
Current order
Units

Returns:: array of Objects.
Overrides:: getProperties in class Element

setProperties

 public void setProperties(String props[])

This method is called to set new values to element. Two strings for each parameter:

value
it's order

Parameters:: props - array with pairs of Strings.
Overrides:: setProperties in class Element

parseString

 public void parseString(String values) throws ParseException

This method is called to load new values to element from string. String should be like "value,order;value,order;etc.".

Parameters:: values - new values for element in string in format given above.
Throws: ParseException: if string format is incorrect.
Overrides:: parseString in class Element

getInfo

 public String[] getInfo(int angle)

Returns information for this element, such as voltage, current etc.

Overrides:: getInfo in class Element

paint

 public void paint(Graphics g,
                   int angle,
                   Dimension size,
                   boolean isSimulating,
                   boolean animated)

Paints the element on the given graphic context.

Overrides:: paint in class Element
