Shape Script for Transition

[richi]

Hy @ll,

I want to extend Statecharts - Transitions for priorities. Therefore I defined my one Stereotype (extend it from Meta Class “Transition”) and added a Tagged Value “Priority”. Now I want to show this Priority in the Statechart. I defined the following Shape Script:

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
   noshadow = true;
   // hide the stereotype used to draw this shapescript
   HideLabel("middlebottom");
   lineto(100,0);
}

shape source
{
   // composition diamond
   noshadow = true;
   setfillcolor(getUserBorderColor());
  
   println("#TAG:Priority#");
  
}

shape target
{
   // generalisation arrow
  
   noshadow = true;
   setfillcolor(getUserBorderColor());
   startpath();
   moveto(0,0);
   lineto(10,-5);
   lineto(10,5);
   lineto(0,0);
   endpath();
   fillandstrokepath();
}When I choose in “UML Types” – Windows (Settings -> UML…) the Base Class “Transition” for my Stereotype noting happens!
But when I choose <all> as Base Class everything works fine and my Priority is shown in the diagram.
The problem is that I wanted to use this Shape Script together with a ToolBox Profile and there the Stereotype is extended from Meta Class “Transition”.

Is there an error in my Shape Script?

Thanks.

If your shape script works when you select <all> then the problem isn't with your shape script.

It appears that the Base Class of Transition isn't recognised and as a result EA is thinking that your stereotype doesn't apply to the target.  If you can't use the shape script when applying it to a profile, then send a bug report to sparx systems support.

And do so now. It looks like Sparx is getting back to something like the regular schedule for new build releases. If you report this immediately there is a chance we'll see a resolution by May. [Assuming it is just a question of adding Transition to some list someplace.]

There's certainly something going wrong here. Try using "stateflow" for the base class instead of "transition", I think that will work. ("transition" should work but doesn't - please send in a bug report and someone will investigate why).
