Bug #5642
Kepler should have access to the ShowTypes attribute
0%
Description
Edward added a ShowTypes attribute, that when dragged in to a model, annotates
the ports with the types.
In vergil, go to the left hand actor pane and do Utilities -> Analysis -> ShowTypes
In Kepler, Tools -> Instantiate Attribute
ptolemy.vergil.actor.lib.ShowTypes
Unfortunately, a green box without a name shows up, there is another bug for this:

There are many Ptolemy components not in the Kepler library; see bug #5589. It would be good to know which ones are appropriate for Kepler so they can all be added at once.
#2 Updated by Daniel Crawl over 8 years ago
ShowTypes has been added to the actor library.
As with instantiating manually, dropping it on the canvas results in a green box without a name.

I'm tentatively closing this bug. If people feel strongly that the default behavior of this actor should be that the label is visible, then I can reopen the bug and change it accordingly.

I reopening this, the bug is that the ShowTypes attribute is not labeled
when it is dragged in the canvas inside Kepler.
In Kepler instantiating the ShowTypes attribute with
Tools -> Instantiate Attribute
ptolemy.vergil.actor.lib.ShowTypes
also results in an icon with a wrench that has no name.
However, in vergil when I drag the ShowTypes icon it, it says Show Types.
This illustrates a generic bug that occurs with attributes in Kepler.
To close this bug, in Kepler the ShowTypes attribute should have its name
visible.

Fixed in commit r30795. The original cyan-colored Ptolemy icon should be visible when the actor is drag-instantiated from the library.
