Externalize labels in shape script

[tsriramnarayanan]

Hi,

I need to externalize some lables in shape script .

Is it possible to do this with tagged values.

Thanks in advance

Try something like this:

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
      drawnativeshape();
}

shape label
{
      setorigin("SW",0,0);
      print("#tag:mytag#");
}(replace "mytag" with the name of your tagged value)

Thanks for your reply.

I have two questions

I need to have four labels for my streotyped element .

1) How can I have declare four labels in shape script using taged values?


I need to have two activity elements .One inside another.

2) Is it possible to  use drawnativeshape  twice ?

Thanks in advance

You can only have one label per diagram object. I guess you will need to make your label display 4 times the information.

Each activity element (and each shape script) will only be responsible for drawing itself. You can't have one element's shape script draw another element.

Is it possible to do this with UML profiles?
