Display Element/Connector Properties

The commands print, println, and printwrapped all take a string parameter representing the text to be printed. Element and connector properties can be added to the text using the substitution macro #propertyname#.

For example: println("name: #NAME#");

In addition to the properties listed below, Tagged Values can also be displayed by prefixing the Tagged Value name with TAG:.

For example: print("#TAG:condition#");

You can also test against and display an element's custom properties in the same way as you do the named properties.

For example: if(hasproperty("Name","Value"))
         ...

and: print("#Name#");

There are further examples of Shape Scripts and commands in the Example Scripts topic.
