This is a shallow copy. Specifically, composite objects should generally return themselves. Simple objects should return copies of themselves.

Returns:

A duplicate of this that conforms to what is expected by the "dup" operator.

isComposite

public boolean isComposite()

Description copied from interface: PsObject

The method should be overridden by composite objects.

Returns:

True iff this object is a composite PostScript object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object anObject)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

isExecutable

public boolean isExecutable()

Description copied from interface: PsObject

Indicates whether this object is executable.

Returns:

True iff this object is executable.

isComparable

public boolean isComparable(PsObject object)

Description copied from interface: PsObject

Test the comparability of two PSObjects. Used in the eq, ne, lt, etc. operators.

Parameters:

object - The object that should be tested for comparability.

Returns:

True if this is comparable to object, false otherwise.

getTypeName

public PsName getTypeName()

Description copied from interface: PsObject

Needed for the "type" operator.

Returns:

The type name as defined in PSRM2, Chapter 8, "type" operator.

size

public int size()

Return the size, in characters, of the encapsulated String.

Returns:

The size of the string.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getValue

public String getValue()

Returns this string's value.

Returns:

The value.

setValue

public void setValue(String newValue)

Sets this string's value.

Parameters:

newValue - The new value for this string.

setExecutable

public void setExecutable(boolean newExecutable)

Sets the executable status of this name.

Parameters:

newExecutable - The new executable status of this name. Set to true to make it executable, set it to false to make it not executable.
