Show icon if notes are filled

[Coen]

In some diagrams we had quite a few notes which I've moved to the notes property of the elements concerned. This made the diagrams much easier to read and useable in presentations, etc... Now I would like to see on the diagram if there are notes added to an element, for instance by showing a pencil icon in the element like a stereotype. This pencil icon should only be shown when the notes are filled. When the notes are cleared, the pencil icon should disappear.

Is it possible to create a feature like this?

Kind regards,

Coen.

Shape scripts associated with stereotypes will do this.

Take a look in the online help and search for shape scripts.
Basically you would call the standard drawing method and then conditionally add a some icon.

Hope this helps.

Or, only add a decoration script that shows the icon conditionally.

Of course, you can only do either of these if you have a stereotype on the element.

Simon,

Are decoration scripts the ones treated on the "Show stereotype icons" option?

Could you give me an example of one such example?

Could you give me an example of one such example?

Code: [Select]

decoration notes
{
      orientation="NE";
      if(hasproperty("notes",""))
      {
            // it would really help if shape scripts had 'NOT'...
      }
      else
      {
            setfillcolor(255,0,0);
            ellipse(0,0,100,100);
            // or you could draw the pencil that the O.P. mentioned
      }
}
