\chapter{Annotations}\label{annotations}
Annotations are intended for storing extra information about a model,
such as graphics, documentation or versioning, etc. A Modelica tool is
free to define and use other annotations, in addition to those defined
here, according to \cref{vendor-specific-annotations}. The only requirement is that any tool
shall save files with all annotations from this chapter and all
vendor-specific annotations intact. To ensure this, annotations must be
represented with constructs according to the Modelica grammar (for
replaceable class declarations with a constraining-clause also refer to
\cref{constraining-clause-annotations}). The specification in this document defines the
semantic meaning if a tool implements any of these annotations.
\section{Vendor-Specific Annotations}\label{vendor-specific-annotations}
A vendor may---anywhere inside an annotation---add specific, possibly
undocumented, annotations which are not intended to be interpreted by
other tools. Two variants of vendor-specific annotations exist; one
simple and one hierarchical. Double underscore concatenated with a
vendor name as initial characters of the identifier are used to identify
vendor-specific annotations.
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation (
Icon(coordinateSystem(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}}),
graphics={__NameOfVendor(Circle(center={0,0}, radius=10))}) );
\end{lstlisting}
This introduces a new graphical primitive \lstinline!Circle! using the
hierarchical variant of vendor-specific annotations.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation (
Icon(coordinateSystem(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}}),
graphics={Rectangle(extent={{-5,-5},{7,7}}, __NameOfVendor_shadow=2)}) );
\end{lstlisting}
This introduces a new attribute \lstinline!__NameOfVendor_shadow!
for the \lstinline!Rectangle! primitive using the simple variant of
vendor-specific annotations.
\end{example}
\section{Annotations for Documentation}\label{annotations-for-documentation}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
documentation-annotation:
annotation "(" Documentation "(" "info" "=" STRING ["," "revisions" "=" STRING ] ")" ")"
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!Documentation! annotation can contain the \lstinline!info! annotation
giving a textual description, the \lstinline!revisions! annotation giving a list
of revisions and other annotations defined by a tool.
How the tool interprets the information in \lstinline!Documentation! is
unspecified. Within a string of the \lstinline!Documentation! annotation, the
tags \lstinline!<HTML>! and \lstinline!</HTML>! or
\lstinline!<html>! and \lstinline!</html>! define
optionally begin and end of content that is HTML encoded. For external
links see \cref{external-resources}. Links to Modelica classes may be defined with
the HTML link command using scheme \lstinline!Modelica!
(using its lower case form in the URI, see \cref{external-resources}), e.g.,
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
<a href="modelica://MultiBody.Tutorial">MultiBody.Tutorial</a>
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{nonnormative}
The \lstinline!revisions! documentation may be omitted in printed documentation.
\end{nonnormative}
Together with scheme \lstinline!Modelica! the (URI) fragment specifiers
\lstinline!#diagram!, \lstinline!#info!, \lstinline!#text!, \lstinline!#icon! may be used to reference different
layers. User-defined fragment specifiers (anchors) may also be used, and they may be renamed
when generating HTML (in particular to avoid collisions).
Example:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
<a href="modelica://MultiBody.Joints.Revolute#info">Revolute</a>
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
preferred-view-annotation:
annotation "(" preferredView "=" ("info" | "diagram" | "text") ")"
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!preferredView! annotation defines the default view when selecting the
class. \lstinline!info! means info layer, i.e., the documentation of the class,
\lstinline!diagram! means diagram layer and \lstinline!text! means the Modelica text layer.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
documentation-class-annotation:
annotation "(" DocumentationClass "=" true ")"
\end{lstlisting}
Only allowed as class annotation on any kind of class and implies that
this class and all classes within it are treated as having the
annotation \lstinline!preferredView="info"!. If the annotation \lstinline!preferredView! is
explicitly set for a class, it has precedence over a \lstinline!DocumentationClass!
annotation.
\begin{nonnormative}
A tool may display such classes in special ways. For example, the description texts of the classes might be displayed instead
of the class names, and if no icon is defined, a special information default icon may be displayed in the package browser.
\end{nonnormative}
\section{Annotations for Code Generation}\label{annotations-for-code-generation}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
code-annotation:
annotation"(" codeGenerationFlag "=" ( false | true ) ")"
codeGenerationFlag :
"Evaluate" | "HideResult" | "Inline" | "LateInline" | "GenerateEvents"
\end{lstlisting}
These annotations can influence the code generation. The details are
defined in the next table:
\begin{longtable}[]{|p{4.2cm}|p{10cm}|}
\hline \endhead
\lstinline!Evaluate!&
The annotation Evaluate can occur in the component declaration, its type
declaration, or a base-class of the type-declaration. In the case of
multiple conflicting annotations it is handled similarly to modifiers
(e.g., an Evaluate-annotation on the component declaration takes
precedence). The annotation Evaluate only has effect for a component
declared with the prefix \lstinline!parameter!.
If \lstinline!Evaluate = true!, the model developer proposes to utilize the value
for the symbolic processing. In that case, it is not possible to change
the parameter value after symbolic pre-processing.
If \lstinline!Evaluate = false!, the model developer proposes to not utilize the
value of the corresponding parameter for the symbolic processing.
\begin{nonnormative}
\lstinline!Evaluate! is for example used for axis of rotation parameters in
the \lstinline!Modelica.Mechanics.MultiBody! library in order to improve the
efficiency of the generated code.
\end{nonnormative}
\\ \hline
\lstinline!HideResult! &
\lstinline!HideResult = true! defines that the model developer proposes to not show
the simulator results of the corresponding component.
\lstinline!HideResult = false! defines that the developer proposes to show the
corresponding component.
\begin{nonnormative}
For example, a tool is not expected to provide means to plot a variable with \lstinline!HideResult = true!.
If a variable is declared in a protected section, a tool might not include it in a simulation result.
By setting \lstinline!HideResult = false!, the modeler would like to have the variable in the simulation
result, even if in the protected section.
\lstinline!HideResult! is for example used in the connectors of the
\lstinline!Modelica.StateGraph! library to not show variables to the modeler
that are of no interest to him and would confuse him.
\end{nonnormative}
\\ \hline
\lstinline!Inline! &
Has only an effect within a function declaration.
If \lstinline!Inline = true!, the model developer proposes to inline the
function. This means, that the body of the function is included at all
places where the function is called.
If \lstinline!Inline = true!, the model developer proposes to not inline the
function.
% Added "The annotation" to avoid bad formatting.
\begin{nonnormative}
The annotation \lstinline!Inline = true! is for example used in
Modelica\allowbreak{}.Mechanics\allowbreak{}.MultiBody\allowbreak{}.Frames and in functions of
Modelica\allowbreak{}.Media to have no overhead for function calls such as
resolving a vector in a different coordinate system and at the same time
the function can be analytically differentiated, e.g., for index
reduction needed for mechanical systems.
\end{nonnormative}
\\ \hline
\lstinline!LateInline!
&
Has only an effect within a function declaration.
If \lstinline!LateInline = true!, the model developer proposes to inline the
function after all symbolic transformations have been performed.
\begin{nonnormative}
Late inlining is especially useful for differentiation and inversion of functions;
for efficiency reasons it is then useful to replace all function calls with
identical input arguments by one function call, before the inlining.
\end{nonnormative}
If \lstinline!LateInline = false!, the model developer proposes to not inline
the function after symbolic transformations have been performed.
\lstinline!Inline=true, LateInline=false! is identical to \lstinline!Inline=true!.
\lstinline!Inline=true, LateInline=true! is identical to \lstinline!LateInline=true!.
\lstinline!Inline=false, LateInline=true! is identical to \lstinline!LateInline=true!.
\begin{nonnormative}
This annotation is for example used in
Modelica\allowbreak{}.Media\allowbreak{}.Water\allowbreak{}.IF97\_Utilities\allowbreak{}.T\_props\_ph to provide in
combination with common subexpression elimination the automatic caching
of function calls. Furthermore, it is used in order that a tool is able
to propagate specific enthalpy over connectors in the \lstinline!Modelica_Fluid!
library.
\end{nonnormative}
\\ \hline
\lstinline!InlineAfterIndexReduction!\strut
&
Has only an effect within a function declaration.
If \lstinline!true!, the model developer proposes to inline the function after the
function is differentiated for index reduction, and before any other
symbolic transformations are performed. This annotation cannot be
combined with annotations \lstinline!Inline! and \lstinline!LateInline!.
\\ \hline
\lstinline!GenerateEvents!\strut
&
Has only an effect within a function declaration
If \lstinline!GenerateEvents = true!, the model developer proposes that crossing
functions in the function should generate events (one possibility of
doing this is to inline the function and generate events for the inlined
function).
\begin{nonnormative}
This annotation is for example used in
Modelica\allowbreak{}.Media\allowbreak{}.Water\allowbreak{}.IF97\_Utilities.phase\_dT to indicate that
the output should generate an event when it changes.
\end{nonnormative}
\\ \hline
\end{longtable}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
smoothOrder-annotation:
annotation"(" smoothOrder "=" UNSIGNED-NUMBER ")" |
annotation"(" smoothOrder "(" normallyConstant "=" NAME
["," normallyConstant "=" NAME] ")"
"=" UNSIGNED-NUMBER ")"
\end{lstlisting}
This annotation has only an effect within a function declaration.
\lstinline!smoothOrder! defines the number of differentiations of the function, in
order that all of the differentiated outputs are continuous provided all
input arguments and their derivatives up to order \lstinline!smoothOrder! are
continuous.
\begin{nonnormative}
This means that the function is at least C\textsuperscript{smoothOrder}. \lstinline!smoothOrder = 1! means that
the function can be differentiated at least once in order that all output arguments are still continuous, provided
the input arguments are continuous. If a tool needs the derivative of a function, e.g.\ for index reduction or to
compute an analytic Jacobian, the function can be differentiated analytically at least \lstinline!smoothOrder! times.
\end{nonnormative}
The optional argument \lstinline!normallyConstant! of \lstinline!smoothOrder! defines that the
function argument \lstinline!NAME! is usually constant.
\begin{nonnormative}
A tool might check whether the actual argument to \lstinline!NAME! is a parameter expression at the place where the
function is called. If this is the case, the derivative of the function might be constructed under the assumption that
the corresponding argument is constant, to enhance efficiency. Typically, a tool would generate at most two different
derivative functions of a function: One, under the assumption that all \lstinline!normallyConstant! arguments are
actually constant. And one, under the assumption that all input arguments are time varying. Based on the actual
arguments of the function call either of the two derivative functions is used.
This annotation is used by many functions of the \lstinline!Modelica.Fluid! library, such as\\
\lstinline!Modelica.Fluid.Dissipation.PressureLoss.StraightPipe.dp_laminar_DP!, since geometric
arguments to these functions are usually constant.
\end{nonnormative}
\section{Annotations for Simulation Experiments}\label{annotations-for-simulation-experiments}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
experiment-annotation:
annotation "(" "experiment" [ "(" [experimentOption
{"," experimentOption}] ")" ] ")"
experimentOption:
StartTime "=" [ "+" | "-" ] UNSIGNED-NUMBER |
StopTime "=" [ "+" | "-"] UNSIGNED-NUMBER |
Interval "=" UNSIGNED-NUMBER |
Tolerance "=" UNSIGNED-NUMBER
\end{lstlisting}
The experiment annotation defines the default start time (StartTime) in
{[}s{]}, the default stop time (StopTime) in {[}s{]}, the suitable time
resolution for the result grid (Interval) in {[}s{]}, and the default
relative integration tolerance (Tolerance) for simulation experiments to
be carried out with the model or block at hand. If StartTime is not specified it is assumed to be \lstinline!0.0!.
\section{Annotation for single use of class}\label{annotation-for-single-use-of-class}
For state machines it is useful to have single instances of local
classes. This can be done using:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation(singleInstance=true)
\end{lstlisting}
The annotation singleInstance in a class indicates that there should
only be one component instance of the class, and it should be in the
same scope as the class is defined. The intent is to remove the class
when the component is removed and to prevent duplication of the
component.
\section{Annotations for Graphical Objects}\label{annotations-for-graphical-objects}
A graphical representation of a class consists of two abstraction
layers, icon layer and diagram layer showing graphical objects,
component icons, connectors and connection lines. The icon
representation typically visualizes the component by hiding hierarchical
details. The hierarchical decomposition is described in the diagram
layer showing icons of subcomponents and connections between these.
Graphical annotations described in this chapter ties into the Modelica
grammar as follows.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
graphical-annotations :
annotation "(" [ layer-annotations ] ")"
layer-annotations :
( icon\_layer | diagram\_layer ) [ "," layer-annotations ]
\end{lstlisting}
Layer descriptions (start of syntactic description):
\begin{lstlisting}[language=grammar]
icon-layer :
"Icon" "(" [ coordsys-specification "," ] graphics ")"
diagram-layer :
"Diagram" "(" [ coordsys-specification "," ] graphics ")"
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation (
Icon(coordinateSystem(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}}),
graphics={Rectangle(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}}),
Text(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}}, textString="Icon")}));
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
The graphics is specified as an ordered sequence of graphical
primitives, which are described below. First base-class contents is
drawn according to the order of the extends-clauses, and then graphical
primitives are drawn according to the order such that later objects can
cover earlier ones.
\begin{nonnormative}
Note that the ordered sequence is syntactically a valid Modelica annotation, although there
is no mechanism for defining an array of heterogeneous objects in Modelica.
\end{nonnormative}
These Icon, Diagram, and Documentation annotations are only allowed
directly in classes (e.g.\ not on components or connections). The allowed
annotations for a short class definition is the union of the allowed
annotations in classes and on extends-clauses.
\subsection{Common Definitions}\label{common-definitions}
The following common definitions are used to define graphical
annotations in the later sections.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type DrawingUnit = Real(final unit="mm");
type Point = DrawingUnit[2] "{x, y}";
type Extent = Point[2] "Defines a rectangular area {{x1, y1}, {x2, y2}}";
\end{lstlisting}
The interpretation of \lstinline!unit! is with respect to printer output in
natural size (not zoomed).
All graphical entities have a visible attribute which indicates if the
entity should be shown.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
partial record GraphicItem
Boolean visible = true;
Point origin = {0, 0};
Real rotation(quantity="angle", unit="deg")=0;
end GraphicItem;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!origin! attribute specifies the origin of the graphical item in the
coordinate system of the layer in which it is defined. The origin is
used to define the geometric information of the item and for all
transformations applied to the item. All geometric information is given
relative the \lstinline!origin! attribute, which by default is \{0, 0\}.
The \lstinline!rotation! attribute specifies the rotation of the graphical item
counter-clockwise around the point defined by the \lstinline!origin! attribute.
\subsubsection{Coordinate Systems}\label{coordinate-systems}
Each of the layers has its own coordinate system. A coordinate system is
defined by the coordinates of two points, the left (x1) lower (y1)
corner and the right (x2) upper (y2) corner, where the coordinates of
the first point shall be less than the coordinates of the second point.
The attribute \lstinline!preserveAspectRatio! specifies a hint for the shape of
components of the class, but does not actually influence the rendering of the component.
If \lstinline!preserveAspectRatio! is true, changing the
extent of components should preserve the current aspect ratio of the coordinate
system of the class.
The attribute \lstinline!initialScale! specifies the default component size as
\lstinline!initialScale! times the size of the coordinate system of the class. An
application may use a different default value of \lstinline!initialScale!.
The attribute \lstinline!grid! specifies the spacing between grid points which can
be used by tools for alignment of points in the coordinate system, e.g.\ ``snap-to-grid''.
Its use and default value is tool-dependent.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record CoordinateSystem
Extent extent;
Boolean preserveAspectRatio=true;
Real initialScale = 0.1;
DrawingUnit grid[2];
end CoordinateSystem;
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
A coordinate system for an icon could for example be defined as:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
CoordinateSystem(extent = {{-10, -10}, {10, 10}});
\end{lstlisting}
i.e.\ a coordinate system with width 20 units and height 20 units.
\end{example}
The coordinate systems for the icon and diagram layers are by default
defined as follows; where the array of \lstinline!GraphicsItem! represents an
ordered list of graphical primitives.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Icon "Representation of the icon layer"
CoordinateSystem coordinateSystem(extent = {{-100, -100}, {100, 100}});
GraphicItem[:] graphics;
end Icon;
record Diagram "Representation of the diagram layer"
CoordinateSystem coordinateSystem(extent = {{-100, -100}, {100, 100}});
GraphicItem[:] graphics;
end Diagram;
\end{lstlisting}
The coordinate system (including preserveAspectRatio) of a class is
defined by the following priority:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
The coordinate system annotation given in the class (if specified).
\item
The coordinate systems of the first base-class where the extent on the
extends-clause specifies a null-region (if any). Note that null-region
is the default for base-classes, see \cref{extends-clause}.
\item
The default coordinate system CoordinateSystem(extent=\{\{-100,
-100\}, \{100, 100\}\}).
\end{enumerate}
\subsubsection{Graphical Properties}\label{graphical-properties}
Properties of graphical objects and connection lines are described using
the following attribute types.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type Color = Integer[3](min=0, max=255) "RGB representation";
constant Color Black = zeros(3);
type LinePattern = enumeration(None, Solid, Dash, Dot, DashDot, DashDotDot);
type FillPattern = enumeration(None, Solid, Horizontal, Vertical,
Cross, Forward, Backward, CrossDiag, HorizontalCylinder, VerticalCylinder, Sphere);
type BorderPattern = enumeration(None, Raised, Sunken, Engraved);
type Smooth = enumeration(None, Bezier);
type EllipseClosure = enumeration(None, Chord, Radial);
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!LinePattern! attribute \lstinline!Solid! indicates a normal line, \lstinline!None! an
invisible line, and the other attributes various forms of dashed/dotted
lines.
The \lstinline!FillPattern! attributes \lstinline!Horizontal!, \lstinline!Vertical!,
\lstinline!Cross!, \lstinline!Forward!,
\lstinline!Backward! and \lstinline!CrossDiag! specify fill patterns drawn with the line color
over the fill color.
The attributes \lstinline!HorizontalCylinder!, \lstinline!VerticalCylinder! and \lstinline!Sphere! specify
gradients that represent a horizontal cylinder, a vertical cylinder and
a sphere, respectively. The gradient goes from line color to fill color.
\includegraphics[width=2.08333in,height=1.66667in]{bezierpoints}
The border pattern attributes \lstinline!Raised!, \lstinline!Sunken! and \lstinline!Engraved! represent frames
which are rendered in a tool-dependent way---inside the extent of the
filled shape.
The \lstinline!smooth! attribute specifies that a line can be drawn as straight line
segments (\lstinline!None!) or using a spline (\lstinline!Bezier!), where the line's points
specify control points of a quadratic Bezier curve.
For lines with only two points, the \lstinline!smooth! attribute has no effect.
For lines with three or more points (P\textsubscript{1},
P\textsubscript{2}, \ldots{}, P\textsubscript{n}), the middle point of
each line segment (P\textsubscript{12}, P\textsubscript{23}, \ldots{},
P\textsubscript{(n-1)n}) becomes the starting point and ending points of
each quadratic Bezier curve. For each quadratic Bezier curve, the common
point of the two line segment becomes the control point. For instance,
point P\textsubscript{2} becomes the control point for the Bezier curve
starting at P\textsubscript{12} and ending at P\textsubscript{23}. A
straight line is drawn between the starting point of the line and the
starting point of the first quadratic Bezier curve, as well as between
the ending point of the line and the ending point of the last quadratic
Bezier curve.
In the illustration above, the square points (P\textsubscript{1},
P\textsubscript{2}, P\textsubscript{3,} and P\textsubscript{4})
represent the points that define the line, and the circle points
(P\textsubscript{12}, P\textsubscript{23}, and P\textsubscript{34}) are
the calculated middle points of each line segment. Points
P\textsubscript{12}, P\textsubscript{2}, and P\textsubscript{23} define
the first quadratic Bezier curve, and the points P\textsubscript{23},
P\textsubscript{3}, and P\textsubscript{34} define the second quadratic
Bezier curve. Finally a straight line is drawn between points
P\textsubscript{1} and P\textsubscript{12} as well as between
P\textsubscript{34} and P\textsubscript{4}.
The values of the \lstinline!EllipseClosure! enumeration specify if and how the
endpoints of an elliptical arc are to be joined (see \cref{ellipse}).
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
type Arrow = enumeration(None, Open, Filled, Half);
type TextStyle = enumeration(Bold, Italic, UnderLine);
type TextAlignment = enumeration(Left, Center, Right);
\end{lstlisting}
Filled shapes have the following attributes for the border and interior.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record FilledShape "Style attributes for filled shapes"
Color lineColor = Black "Color of border line";
Color fillColor = Black "Interior fill color";
LinePattern pattern = LinePattern.Solid "Border line pattern";
FillPattern fillPattern = FillPattern.None "Interior fill pattern";
DrawingUnit lineThickness = 0.25 "Line thickness";
end FilledShape;
\end{lstlisting}
The extent/points of the filled shape describe the theoretical
zero-thickness filled shape, and the actual rendered border is then half
inside and half outside the extent.
\subsection{Component Instance}\label{component-instance}
A component instance can be placed within a diagram or icon layer. It
has an annotation with a \lstinline!Placement! modifier to describe the placement.
Placements are defined in term of coordinate systems transformations:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Transformation
Point origin = {0, 0};
Extent extent;
Real rotation(quantity="angle", unit="deg")=0;
end Transformation;
\end{lstlisting}
The origin attribute defines the position of the component in the
coordinate system of the enclosing class. The \lstinline!extent! defines the
position, size and flipping of the component, relative to the \lstinline!origin!
attribute. The \lstinline!extent! is defined relative to the \lstinline!origin! attribute of the
component instance. Given an extent \{\{x1, y1\}, \{x2, y2\}\},
x2\textless{}x1 defines horizontal flipping and y2\textless{}y1 defines
vertical flipping around the center of the object.
The \lstinline!rotation! attribute specifies rotation of the extent around the point
defined by the \lstinline!origin! attribute.
The graphical operations are applied in the order: scaling, flipping and
rotation.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Placement
Boolean visible = true;
Transformation transformation "Placement in the diagram layer";
Boolean iconVisible "Visible in icon layer; for public connector";
Transformation iconTransformation "Placement in the icon layer; for public connector";
end Placement;
\end{lstlisting}
If no \lstinline!iconTransformation! is given the \lstinline!transformation! is also used for
placement in the icon layer. If no \lstinline!iconVisible! is given for a public connector the
\lstinline!visible! is also used for visibility in the icon layer.
\begin{nonnormative}
A connector can be shown in both an icon layer and a diagram
layer of a class. Since the coordinate systems typically are different,
placement information needs to be given using two different coordinate
systems. More flexibility than just using scaling and translation is
needed since the abstraction views might need different visual placement
of the connectors. The attribute \lstinline!transformation! gives the placement in
the diagram layer and \lstinline!iconTransformation! gives the placement in the icon
layer. When a connector is shown in a diagram layer, its diagram layer
is shown to facilitate opening up a hierarchical connector to allow
connections to its internal subconnectors.
\end{nonnormative}
For connectors, the icon layer is used to represent a connector when it
is shown in the icon layer of the enclosing model. The diagram layer of
the connector is used to represent it when shown in the diagram layer of
the enclosing model. Protected connectors are only shown in the diagram
layer. Public connectors are shown in both the diagram layer and the
icon layer. Non-connector components are only shown in the diagram
layer.
\subsection{Extends clause}\label{extends-clause}
Each extends-clause (and short-class-definition, as stated in \cref{annotations-for-graphical-objects})
may have layer specific annotations which describe
the rendering of the base class' icon and diagram layers in the
subclass.
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record IconMap
Extent extent = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
Boolean primitivesVisible = true;
end IconMap;
record DiagramMap
Extent extent = {{0, 0}, {0, 0}};
Boolean primitivesVisible = true;
end DiagramMap;
\end{lstlisting}
All graphical objects are by default inherited from a base class. If the
\lstinline!primitivesVisible! attribute is false, components and connections are
visible but graphical primitives are not.
\begin{itemize}
\item
If the extent of the extends-clause defines a null region (the
default), the base class contents is mapped to the same coordinates in
the derived class, and the coordinate system (including
preserveAspectRatio) can be inherited as described in
\cref{coordinate-systems}.
\item
If the extent of the extends-clause defines a non-null region, the
base class coordinate system is mapped to the region specified by the
attribute extent, if preserveAspectRatio is true for the base class
the mapping shall preserve the aspect ratio. The base class coordinate
system (and preserveAspectRatio) is not inherited.
\end{itemize}
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
model A
extends B annotation(
IconMap(extent={{-100,-100}, {100,100}},primitivesVisible=false),
DiagramMap(extent={{-50,-50}, {0,0}},primitivesVisible=true)
);
end A;
model B
extends C annotation(DiagramMap(primitivesVisible=false));
...
end B;
\end{lstlisting}
In this example the diagram of \lstinline!A! contains the graphical primitives
from \lstinline!A! and \lstinline!B! (but not from \lstinline!C! since they were hidden in \lstinline!B!)---the ones
from \lstinline!B! are rescaled, and the icon of \lstinline!A! contains the graphical primitives
from \lstinline!A! (but neither from \lstinline!B! nor from \lstinline!C!).
\end{example}
\subsection{Connections}\label{connections1}
A connection is specified with an annotation containing a \lstinline!Line! primitive
and optionally a Text-primitive, as specified below.
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
connect(a.x, b.x)
annotation(Line(points={{-25,30}, {10,30}, {10, -20}, {40,-20}}));
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
The optional Text-primitive defines a text that will be written on the
connection line. It has the following definition (\emph{it is not equal
to the Text-primitive as part of graphics---the differences are marked as bold lines}):
% NOTE: Technically just the names -- not the entire lines are marked in bold
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Text
extends GraphicItem;
extends FilledShape;
Extent extent;
String string;
Real fontSize = 0 "unit pt";
String fontName;
TextStyle textStyle[:];
Color textColor=lineColor;
TextAlignment horizontalAlignment = if index<0 then TextAlignment.Right else TextAligment.Left;
Integer index;
end Text;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!index! is one of the points of Line (numbered 1, 2, 3, \ldots{} where
negative numbers count from the end, thus -1 indicate the last one). The \lstinline!string!
may use the special
symbols \lstinline!"\%first"! and \lstinline!"\%second"! to indicate the connectors in the
connect-equation.
The \lstinline!extent! and \lstinline!rotation! are relative to the \lstinline!origin! (default \lstinline!{0,0}!)
and the \lstinline!origin! is relative to the point on the Line.
The textColor attribute defines the color of the text. The text is drawn
with transparent background and no border around the text (and without
outline). The contents inherited from FilledShape is deprecated, but kept for compatibility reasons.
The default value for \lstinline!horizontalAlignment! is deprecated.
Having a zero size for the extent is deprecated and is handled as if upper part is moved up an appropriate amount.
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
connect(controlBus.axisControlBus1, axis1.axisControlBus) annotation (
Text(string="%first", index=-1, extent=[-6,3; -6,7]),
Line(points={{-80,-10},{-80,-14.5},{-79,-14.5},{-79,-17},{-65,-17},{-65,-65},{-25,-65}}));
\end{lstlisting}
Draws a connection line and adds the text \emph{axisControlBus1}
ending at \{-6, 3\}+\{-25, -65\} and 4 vertical units of space for the text.
Using a height of zero, such as \lstinline!extent=[-6,3; -6,3]! is deprecated, but gives similar result.
\end{example}
\subsection{Graphical primitives}\label{graphical-primitives}
This section describes the graphical primitives that can be used to
define the graphical objects in an annotation.
\subsubsection{Line}\label{line}
A line is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Line
extends GraphicItem;
Point points[:];
Color color = Black;
LinePattern pattern = LinePattern.Solid;
DrawingUnit thickness = 0.25;
Arrow arrow[2] = {Arrow.None, Arrow.None} "{start arrow, end arrow}";
DrawingUnit arrowSize=3;
Smooth smooth = Smooth.None "Spline";
end Line;
\end{lstlisting}
Note that the \lstinline!Line! primitive is also used to specify the graphical
representation of a connection.
For arrows:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The arrow is drawn with an aspect ratio of 1/3 for each arrow half, i.e.,
if the arrow-head is 3~mm long an arrow with Half will extend 1~mm from the
mid-line and with Open or Filled extend 1~mm to each side, in total making the base 2~mm wide.
\item
The arrowSize gives the width of the arrow (including the imagined
other half for Half) so that lineThickness=10 and arrowSize=10 will
touch at the outer parts.
\item
All arrow variants overlap for overlapping lines.
\item
The lines for the Open and Half variants are drawn with lineThickness.
\end{itemize}
\subsubsection{Polygon}\label{polygon}
A polygon is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Polygon
extends GraphicItem;
extends FilledShape;
Point points[:];
Smooth smooth = Smooth.None "Spline outline";
end Polygon;
\end{lstlisting}
The polygon is automatically closed, if the first and the last points
are not identical.
\subsubsection{Rectangle}\label{rectangle}
A rectangle is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Rectangle
extends GraphicItem;
extends FilledShape;
BorderPattern borderPattern = BorderPattern.None;
Extent extent;
DrawingUnit radius = 0 "Corner radius";
end Rectangle;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!extent! attribute specifies the bounding box of the rectangle. If the
\lstinline!radius! attribute is specified, the rectangle is drawn with rounded
corners of the given radius.
\subsubsection{Ellipse}\label{ellipse}
An ellipse is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Ellipse
extends GraphicItem;
extends FilledShape;
Extent extent;
Real startAngle(quantity="angle", unit="deg")=0;
Real endAngle(quantity="angle", unit="deg")=360;
EllipseClosure closure = if startAngle == 0 and endAngle == 360
then EllipseClosure.Chord
else EllipseClosure.Radial;
end Ellipse;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!extent! attribute specifies the bounding box of the ellipse.
Partial ellipses can be drawn using the \lstinline!startAngle! and \lstinline!endAngle!
attributes. These specify the endpoints of the arc prior to the stretch
and rotate operations. The arc is drawn counter-clockwise from
\lstinline!startAngle! to \lstinline!endAngle!, where startAngle and endAngle are defined
counter-clockwise from 3 o'clock (the positive x-axis).
The closure attribute specifies whether the endpoints specified by
\lstinline!startAngle! and \lstinline!endAngle! are to be joined by lines to the centre of the
extent (\lstinline!closure=EllipseClosure.Radial!), joined by a single straight line
between the end points (\lstinline!closure=EllipseClosure.Chord!), or left
unconnected (\lstinline!closure=EllipseClosure.None!). In the latter case, the
ellipse is treated as an open curve instead of a closed shape, and the
\lstinline!fillPattern! and \lstinline!fillColor! are not applied (if present, they are
ignored).
The default closure is \lstinline!EllipseClosure.Chord! when \lstinline!startAngle! is 0 and
\lstinline!endAngle! is 360, or \lstinline!EllipseClosure.Radial! otherwise.
\begin{nonnormative}
The default for a closed ellipse is not \lstinline!EllipseClosure.None!, since that would result in \lstinline!fillColor!
and \lstinline!fillPattern! being ignored, making it impossible to draw a filled ellipse. \lstinline!EllipseClosure.Chord!
is equivalent in this case, since the chord will be of zero length.
\end{nonnormative}
\subsubsection{Text}\label{text}
A text string is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Text
extends GraphicItem;
extends FilledShape;
Extent extent;
String textString;
Real fontSize = 0 "unit pt";
String fontName;
TextStyle textStyle[:];
Color textColor=lineColor;
TextAlignment horizontalAlignment = TextAlignment.Center;
end Text;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!textColor! attribute defines the color of the text. The text is drawn
with transparent background and no border around the text (and without
outline). The contents inherited from \lstinline!FilledShape! is deprecated, but kept for compatibility reasons.
There are a number of common macros that can be used in the text, and
they should be replaced when displaying the text as follows (in order such that the earliest ones have precedence,
and using the longest sequence of identifier characters - alphanumeric and underscore):
\begin{itemize}
\item
\%\% replaced by \%
\item
\%name replaced by the name of the component (i.e., the identifier for
it in the enclosing class).
\item
\%class replaced by the name of the class (only the last part of the hierarchical name).
\item
\%\emph{par} and \%\{\emph{par\}} replaced by the value of the
parameter \lstinline!par!.
If the value is numeric, tools shall display the value with \lstinline!displayUnit!, formatted according to bipm-specification.
E.g., for
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
parameter Real t(unit="s", displayUnit="ms") = 0.1
\end{lstlisting}
tools shall display \emph{100 ms}.
The intent is that the text is easily readable,
thus if \lstinline!par! is of an enumeration type, replace \lstinline!%par! by the item name,
not by the full name.
\begin{example}
If \lstinline!par = "Modelica.Blocks.Types.Enumeration.Periodic"!, then \lstinline!%par! should be displayed as \emph{Periodic}.
\end{example}
The form \%\{\emph{par\}} allows component-references and is required for quoted identifiers, and can be directly
followed by a letter. Thus \lstinline!%{w}x%{h}! gives the value of \lstinline!w!
directly followed by \emph{x} and the value of \lstinline!h!, while \lstinline!%wxh! gives the value of the
parameter \lstinline!wxh!. If the parameter does not exist it is an error.
\end{itemize}
The style attribute \lstinline!fontSize! specifies the font size. If the \lstinline!fontSize!
attribute is 0 the text is scaled to fit its extent. Otherwise, the size
specifies the absolute size. The text is vertically centered in the extent.
If the \lstinline!extent! specifies a box with zero width and positive height the
height is used as height for the text (unless \lstinline!fontSize! attribute is
non-zero---which specifies the absolute size), and the text is not
truncated (the \lstinline!horizontalAlignment! is still used in this case).
\begin{nonnormative}
A zero-width \lstinline!extent! is convenient for handling texts where the width is unknown.
\end{nonnormative}
If the string \lstinline!fontName! is empty, the tool may choose a font. The font names \lstinline!"serif"!, \lstinline!"sans-serif"!, and \lstinline!"monospace"! shall be recognized. If possible
the correct font should be used---otherwise a reasonable match, or treat as if \lstinline!fontName! was empty.
The style attribute \lstinline!textStyle! specifies variations of the font.
\subsubsection{Bitmap}\label{bitmap}
A bitmap image is specified as follows:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record Bitmap
extends GraphicItem;
Extent extent;
String fileName "Name of bitmap file";
String imageSource "Base64 representation of bitmap";
end Bitmap;
\end{lstlisting}
The \lstinline!Bitmap! primitive renders a graphical bitmap image. The data of the
image can either be stored on an external file or in the annotation
itself. The image is scaled to fit the extent. Given an extent \{\{x1,
y1\}, \{x2, y2\}\}, x2\textless{}x1 defines horizontal flipping and
y2\textless{}y1 defines vertical flipping around the center of the
object.
The graphical operations are applied in the order: scaling, flipping and
rotation.
When the attribute \lstinline!fileName! is specified, the string refers to an
external file containing image data. The mapping from the string to the
file is specified for some URIs in \cref{external-resources}. The supported file
formats include \lstinline!PNG!, \lstinline!BMP!, \lstinline!JPEG!,
and \lstinline!SVG!.
When the attribute \lstinline!imageSource! is specified, the string contains the
image data, and the image format is determined based on the contents.
The image is represented as a Base64 encoding of the image file format
(see RFC~4648, \url{http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4648}).
The image is uniformly scaled (preserving the aspect ratio) so it exactly fits within the extent (touching the
extent along one axis). The center of the image is positioned at the center of the extent.
\subsection{Variable Graphics and Schematic Animation}\label{variable-graphics-and-schematic-animation}
Any value (coordinates, color, text, etc.) in graphical annotations can
be dependent on class variables using the \lstinline!DynamicSelect! expression.
\lstinline!DynamicSelect! has the syntax of a function call with two arguments,
where the first argument specifies the value of the editing state and
the second argument the value of the non-editing state. The first
argument must be a literal expression. The second argument may contain
references to variables to enable a dynamic behavior.
\begin{example}
The level of a tank could be animated by a
rectangle expanding in vertical direction and its color depending on a
variable overflow:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation (
Icon(graphics={Rectangle(
extent=DynamicSelect({{0,0},{20,20}},{{0,0},{20,level}}),
fillColor=DynamicSelect({0,0,255},
if overflow then {255,0,0} else {0,0,255}))})
);
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
\subsection{User input}\label{user-input}
It is possible to interactively modify variables during a simulation.
The variables may either be parameters, discrete variables or states.
New numeric values can be given, a mouse click can change a Boolean
variable or a mouse movement can change a Real variable. Input fields
may be associated with a \lstinline!GraphicItem! or a component as an array named
\lstinline!interaction!. The \lstinline!interaction! array may occur as an attribute of a
graphic primitive, an attribute of a component annotation or as an
attribute of the layer annotation of a class.
\subsubsection{Mouse input}\label{mouse-input}
A Boolean variable can be changed when the cursor is held over a
graphical item or component and the selection button is pressed if the
interaction annotation contains \lstinline!OnMouseDownSetBoolean!:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record OnMouseDownSetBoolean
Boolean variable "Name of variable to change when mouse button pressed";
Boolean value "Assigned value";
end OnMouseDownSetBoolean;
\end{lstlisting}
\begin{example}
A button can be represented by a rectangle changing color depending on a \lstinline!Boolean! variable \lstinline!on! and toggles the
variable when the rectangle is clicked on:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
annotation (Icon(
graphics={Rectangle(
extent=[0,0; 20,20],
fillColor=if on then {255,0,0} else {0,0,255})},
interaction={OnMouseDownSetBoolean (on, not on)}));
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
In a similar way, a variable can be changed when the mouse button is
\emph{released}:
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
record OnMouseUpSetBoolean
Boolean variable "Name of variable to change when mouse button released";
Boolean value "Assigned value";
end OnMouseUpSetBoolean;
\end{lstlisting}
Note that several interaction objects can be associated with the same
graphical item or component.
\begin{example}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=modelica]
interaction={ OnMouseDownSetBoolean(on, true), OnMouseUpSetBoolean(on, false)};
\end{lstlisting}
\end{example}
The \lstinline!OnMouseMoveXSetReal! interaction object sets the variable to the
position of the cursor in X direction in the local coordinate system
