    - #### ElemVariable

          public ElemVariable()

      Constructor ElemVariable

    - #### ElemVariable

          public ElemVariable(ElemVariable param)
                       throws TransformerException

      Copy constructor.
      Parameters:
        `param` - An element created from an xsl:variable
      Throws:
        `TransformerException`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### setIndex

          public void setIndex(int index)

      Sets the relative position of this variable within the stack frame (if local) or the global area (if global). Note that this should be called only for global variables since the local position is computed in the compose() method.

    - #### getIndex

          public int getIndex()

      If this element is not at the top-level, get the relative position of the variable into the stack frame. If this variable is at the top-level, get the relative position within the global area.

    - #### setSelect

          public void setSelect(XPath v)

      Set the "select" attribute. If the variable-binding element has a select attribute, then the value of the attribute must be an expression and the value of the variable is the object that results from evaluating the expression. In this case, the content of the variable must be empty.
      Parameters:
        `v` - Value to set for the "select" attribute.

    - #### getSelect

          public XPath getSelect()

      Get the "select" attribute. If the variable-binding element has a select attribute, then the value of the attribute must be an expression and the value of the variable is the object that results from evaluating the expression. In this case, the content of the variable must be empty.
      Returns:
        Value of the "select" attribute.

    - #### setName

          public void setName(QName v)

      Set the "name" attribute. Both xsl:variable and xsl:param have a required name attribute, which specifies the name of the variable. The value of the name attribute is a QName, which is expanded as described in [2.4 Qualified Names].
      Parameters:
        `v` - Value to set for the "name" attribute.
      See Also:
        qname in XSLT Specification

    - #### getName

          public QName getName()

      Get the "name" attribute. Both xsl:variable and xsl:param have a required name attribute, which specifies the name of the variable. The value of the name attribute is a QName, which is expanded as described in [2.4 Qualified Names].
      Returns:
        Value of the "name" attribute.

        qname in XSLT Specification

    - #### setIsTopLevel

          public void setIsTopLevel(boolean v)

      Set if this is a top-level variable or param, or not.
