OutputDisplay

The OutputDisplay class is used:

• In the display attribute of an instance of the OrderedDisplay class representing 1 of the ordered displays within the displays attribute of an output.
• To specify text values to be used in different parts (or "sections") of the display, such as the titles, footnotes, etc.

Each section of a display is represented in its displaySections attribute as an instance of the DisplaySection class, which includes the following attributes:

• sectionType, which includes a value from the DisplaySectionTypeEnum enumeration (e.g., "Title", "Footnote", "Abbreviation") to indicate which section of the display contains the specified text values.
• orderedSubSections, which contains a list of ordered text value specifications (or "sub-sections"), each of which is represented as an instance of one of the specializations of the OrderedDisplaySubSection class:
  • OrderedSubSection, which contains a new sub-section specification represented in the subSection attribute as an instance of the DisplaySubSection class. In the DisplaySubSection class the text value is specified in the text attribute and an identifier value is assigned in the id attribute.
  • OrderedSubSectionRef, which contains, in the subSectionId attribute, the identifier of a sub-section that has already been defined, either as part of a global display section (as described in the GlobalDisplaySection section) or within another display section.

In both specializations of the OrderedDisplaySubSection class, the order attribute contains an integer to order the sub-section with respect to other sub-sections in the display section (i.e., "1" for the first sub-section in the display section, "2" for the second sub-section, etc.).
