mtk_create: Creates Objects

This primitive creates a MTK object. By declaring a MTKObject variable, all you are doing is saying to TANGRAM-II that this variable will represent a MTK object; but nothing is being said about the object's class (if it is a hmm object, an intvalue object, etc.). To actually create the object, you must use the mtk_create primitive.

Usage: mtk_create($<$mtk_object_name$>$, " $<$plugin_name$>$"[, $<$args_list$>$])

where $<$mtk_object_name$>$ is the name given to the MTKObject variable, by the user, in the Declaration section; "$<$plugin_name$>$" (must be between quote marks!) is the plugin name from which the object will be created, i.e., the plugin that this object correspond to; and [, $<$args_list$>$] is the set of parameters taken by the newly created object.

Example: Creating a HMM object

Declaration=
Const
   ...

Var
    MTKObject : Predictor;
    ...

Events=
event = event( TIME )
condition = ( TRUE )
action = 
{    
    ...
    mtk_create( Predictor, "hmm", NUM_STATES, NUM_SYMBOLS );
    ...
};
