Description

For actor 'Constant' and 'String Constant', Kepler GUI used to automatically replace long text with its first a few characters followed by '...'. I validated it in Kepler 2.2. But since Kepler 2.3 (also in Kepler trunk), these two actors won't re-size anymore. All the text in their value parameter is displayed in GUI. It is very unfriendly when the text is very long.

I attached a demo workflow and its displays in Kepler 2.2 and 2.3.

If the value of a Const actor is a long string, then the icon is not truncated.
This occurs in both Kepler and Vergil.

I've backed out a portion of this change:

  • [r60470] /trunk/ptolemy/vergil/icon/AttributeValueIcon.java,
    /trunk/ptolemy/vergil/icon/BoxedValueIcon.java: Modified
    BoxedValueIcon to ignore the default displayWidth and
    displayHeight parameters and render the full string value of the
    attribute in its icon.

I've sent email to Charles asking for a use case that requires the icon
to not be truncated.

This should be left open until Charles and I reach a consensus about this.
