public class PositionOnConveyor<T extends Agent>
extends ConveyorPathPart<T>
implements com.anylogic.engine.markup.material_handling.IPositionOnConveyorDescriptor<T>
Position on conveyor is the graphical element that is used to define the exact position on the conveyor.

It can be used to:

  • Define the location where new material items will be placed on the conveyor (by the Convey and ConveyorEnter blocks). Note that both blocks place the leading edge of the added material item at the Position on conveyor location.
  • Set the destination point for the material items being transported by conveyor(s) (in the Convey block).
  • Simulate photo-eyes, scanners and other devices that perform some instant actions with the conveyed material items. To model the operation, use the callbacks actions in the element's Actions properties section. If the operation requires some time, use station instead.
  • Model different types of stops and escapement devices (e.g. blade stop, claw stop, pneumatic escapements). You can simulate the conveyor blocking and unblocking operations by calling the element's block() and unblock() functions.

Method Details

getLibraryDescriptor

@AnyLogicInternalAPI
public com.anylogic.engine.markup.material_handling.IPositionOnConveyorDescriptor<T> getLibraryDescriptor()

getNearestPoint

public double getNearestPoint(Point givenPoint,
 Point out)
Description copied from interface: INetworkMarkupElement
Calculates (using the output object) the point in this space markup element nearest to the given point. Returns the square of distance to the point.
Specified by:
getNearestPoint in interface INetworkMarkupElement
Parameters:
givenPoint - given point
out - the output point to write result to.
Returns:
the square of distance to the nearest point

randomPointInside

public Point randomPointInside(Random rng,
 Point out)
Description copied from interface: INetworkMarkupElement
Returns the randomly chosen point inside/along the given space markup element. This method utilises the given Random Number Generator.
Specified by:
randomPointInside in interface INetworkMarkupElement
Parameters:
rng - the random number generator.
out - output object to write to, may be null
Returns:
the randomly chosen point

contains

public boolean contains(double px,
 double py)
Description copied from class: MarkupShape
Test if the shape contains the point with the given coordinates (relative to this shape's container, i.e. in the same system with the coordinates of this shape, x and y)
Specified by:
