Stereotype Icons in UML Profiles

[Martin Spamer]

I've created a UML Profile for SOA and exported it successfully.  However I want to change the icon that appears on the upper right of my stereotyped classes.  I can see this is possible on some predefined stereotype but cannot figure how to do it and as far as I can see it's not documented in the EA help system.

I think you'll have to use a shape script.

Shape script would look like this:

Code: [Select]


decoration foo
{
  orientation="NE";
  image("nameOfYourIcon",0,0,100,100);
}

Neil,

Can you use a decoration script with your own (main) shape script?

Neil,

Can you use a decoration script with your own (main) shape script?

David

Yes, it will draw the shape first and then add the decoration on top. Try this one:

Code: [Select]


decoration foo
{
   orientation="NE";
   setfillcolor(0,255,0);
   rectangle(0,0,100,100);
}

shape main
{
   setfillcolor(255,0,0);
   rectangle(0,0,100,100);
}

You can also make your own:

shape main{

//Initialisation attributes
h_align = "center";
v_align = "center";


// Draw component diagram
setpenwidth(2);
rectangle(0,0,120,90);
image ("Logo.bmp",0,0,20,18);

startpath();
moveto(105,5);
lineto(115,5);
lineto(115,30);
lineto(105,30);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

startpath();
moveto(100,10);
lineto(110,10);
lineto(110,15);
lineto(100,15);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

startpath();
moveto(100,20);
lineto(110,20);
lineto(110,25);
lineto(100,25);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

// Print name and status in the component element
println("#stereotype#");
println("#name#");
}

Greetings,

Sweet! That was exactly my next question, which was I wanted to decorate a component element with a graphic on the upper left hand corner.

I changed the pen width to 1, and added <<>> to the stereotype, and finally made it the default shape (0,0,100,100)

You can also make your own:

shape main{

//Initialisation attributes
h_align = "center";
v_align = "center";


// Draw component diagram
setpenwidth(2);
rectangle(0,0,120,90);
image ("Logo.bmp",0,0,20,18);

startpath();
moveto(105,5);
lineto(115,5);
lineto(115,30);
lineto(105,30);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

startpath();
moveto(100,10);
lineto(110,10);
lineto(110,15);
lineto(100,15);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

startpath();
moveto(100,20);
lineto(110,20);
lineto(110,25);
lineto(100,25);
endpath();
fillandstrokepath();

// Print name and status in the component element
println("#stereotype#");
println("#name#");
}
