Display package in rectangular notation.

[skiwi]

In a diagram is it possible to display a package in rectangular notation? (i.e. similar to say a class)

Technically, you can, I do it via automation.

But it doesn't do you any good since the Rectangular form of the package looks the same.  

You might be able to assign a stereotype and do it that way...

You may as well be setting it to elephant notation. Packages don't have a rectangle notation.

[size=14]Like Simon earlier on one of my other posts, I thought I was quoting it and instead I was modifying it!

So I've now lost the original text...[/size]

I alway wondered why Sparx does not concentrate more on the drawing aspect. UML is a graphical language. And thus, one should assume, there should be some more focus on drawing.

"We hold this truth to be self-evident"...

As you know, I've been saying the same thing for over 10 years...

I presume you mean packages don't have a specified rectangular representation in UML.

If you want a rectangular package shape, use Info View in v12.1!

You can use UML stereotypes and shapescript
i.e.
Menu Project>Settings>UML Types
Create new stereotype for package like "Rectangle"
Add shape script like below
Then for a package select stereotype "Rectangle" and shapescript kicks in and draws a rectangle for the package.

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
     rectangle(0,0,100,100);
     addsubshape("namecompartment",100,100);
     shape namecompartment
     {
          h_align = "center";
          editablefield = "name";
          println("#name#");
     }
}Hope that helps.
BTW I've just sent Martin R. at MinEdu an EA MDG which has some of these
