public InstanciationExpression(java.lang.String tag,
                               Element prototype,
                               PicAttributeSet attributes,
                               Pool pl)
```
    Parameters:
    
    tag - string to be matched
    
    prototype - element to be cloned, then added to the current PicGroup
    
    attributes - attribute set used to set the attributes for the newly cloned element ; can be null, in which case the attribute set of the prototype is used (yet it's static in this case)
    
    pl - pool used to share variable across the grammar tree.
