Prototype

The Prototype accessor (class ) allows a new prototype to inherit from all the accessors of an existing prototype. The new prototype behaves as if all the accessors of an existing prototype were added to it. This is useful when building libraries of complex behaviors and in reusing them in other prototypes. The prototype library containing the prototype must be open in order for any instance using this accessor to work properly. From the Group Inspector in Views Studio, you can add a Prototype accessor to a prototype by selecting the Attributes tab and choosing the Edit>Delegate to Prototype item.

Parameters

• Prototype name: Name of the prototype that you want to inherit accessors from.

Example

This accessor is represented as a subgraph showing all the values exported in the context of the current accessor graph.

The diclock prototype of the sources library encapsulates and exports all the accessors of the clock prototype. It behaves exactly like the clock prototype but has a different graphic representation.
