| 42 | |||
| 43 | === Diagram Layout === | ||
| 44 | |||
| 45 | One of the core features of KIELER Pragmatics is the KIELER Infrastructure for Meta-Layout (KIML). It provides the glue between diagram editors and layout algorithms. If you have installed layout support for GMF editors, you may want to try the following: | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | * Open a diagram using a GMF editor. | ||
| 48 | * Press the Layout button in the toolbar: | ||
| 49 | * Open the //Layout View// by clicking //Window// -> //Show View// -> //Other...// and choosing //Layout// from the //KIELER Layout// category. | ||
| 50 | * Change some of the values and press the Layout button again. | ||
| 51 | |||
| 52 | === Viewing Ptolemy Models === | ||
| 53 | |||
| 54 | If you have a Ptolemy installation, try the following: | ||
| 55 | |||
| 56 | * Save a Ptolemy model as a {{code language="none"}}.moml{{/code}} file somewhere. | ||
| 57 | * ((( | ||
| 58 | Download and start our //[[Ptolemy Model Browser>>url:http://www.informatik.uni-kiel.de/rtsys/kieler/downloads/tools-and-libraries/||shape="rect"]]//. | ||
| 59 | ))) | ||
| 60 | * Open your moml file. | ||
| 61 | * Double-click actors that have further models inside them. Also double-click modal model states that have refinements. Use the sidebar on the right to influence how your model is displayed. | ||
