12	12	A complex example for using KLighD technology, the Ptolemy Visualization project is about generating transient views of Ptolemy II models. [[Ptolemy II>>url:http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptolemyII/index.htm||shape="rect"]] is an open source program developed at UC Berkeley for experimenting with actor-oriented modelling. Actors are graphical representations of components with a certain functionality that generate output as a function of the inputs they receive. To use the output of one actor as the input of another, actors can be connected by links. A typical Ptolemy model might for instance look like this:

21	21	* Actors can have more than one input, and more than one output. To be able to distinguish the data coming in and going out, inputs and outputs are routed to dedicated connection points, called ports. Thus, links never connect two actors directly, but rather connect them through their ports.
