Creates a new Coil object.

Method Detail

getClassName

public static java.lang.String getClassName()

Description copied from class: StructureComponent

This method returns the fully qualified name of this class. Sub-classes must override this method (This method should really be declared abstract, but unfortunately Java does not allow a method to be both static AND abstract). Instead, this base class implementation will through an UnsupportedOperationException.

This name is used by the StructureComponentRegistry class to enable dynamic registration and discovery of new StructureComponent sub-classes/types. The name is also used to create instances of any sublcass dynamically from this name.

getStructureComponentType

public java.lang.String getStructureComponentType()

This method returns the fully qualified name of this class.

Specified by:

getStructureComponentType in class StructureComponent

copy

public void copy(StructureComponent structureComponent)

Copy all of the field values from the parameter object into "this".

Overrides:

copy in class Conformation

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
                       throws java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

Clone this object.

Overrides:

clone in class Conformation

Throws:

java.lang.CloneNotSupportedException

isVisible

public boolean isVisible()

Specified by:

isVisible in class StructureComponent
