Methods
(protected) _addAttribute(name, value)
Add an attribute to this instance (e.g. define setters and getters) and affect a value to it.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
name |
string | the name of the attribute |
value |
object | the value of the attribute |
- Source:
(protected) _addAttributes(cls, …argsopt)
Add attributes to this instance (e.g. define setters and getters) and affect values to them.
Notes:
- If the object already has a set
method, we do not redefine it, and the setter for this attribute calls that method instead of _setAttribute. - _addAttributes is typically called in the constructor of an object, after the call to super (see module:visual.ImageStim for an illustration).
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Attributes | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
cls |
Object | the class object of the subclass of PsychoObject whose attributes we will set | |
args |
* |
<optional> <repeatable> |
the values for the attributes (this also determines which attributes will be set) |
- Source:
(private) _setAttribute(attributeName, attributeValue, logopt, operationopt, stealthopt) → {boolean}

operation |
string |
<optional> |
the binary operation such that the new value of the attribute is the result of the application of the operation to the current value of the attribute and attributeValue | |
