highlighting a variant

[ngong]

I was looking around Shape Scripts in order to find how I can conditionally highlight elements belonging to a certain variant of my architecture. Could not find it immedately.
Therefore this question:

In a tag (introduced by a stereotype) there I have variant values, e.g. V1, V2, V3, ALL.
If I select - somehow interactivily - a certain system Variant (other than ALL) on the diagram I only what to see or highlight those elements having ALL or the selected variant. E.g. if I select V1, all elements shall be highlited having V1 and ALL in that Variant tag. All elements having only V2 or V3 are not shown or grey out.

Is there a Shape Script example (or any other method) to do this?
I am also interested in similar concepts.

Thank you in advance for helping.

No, you can't do that with shapescripts. They are executed the moment you open a diagram, and that's it.

You could do something similar in an add-in, reacting to the select element event.

Hi Rolf,

maybe AutoColour Legends may be of use?  They can render the items differently depending upon the Tag Value.

Might work...

Paolo,

I think Rolf wants to highlight elements with the same value in a tagged value.
Legends are static and don't react to selecting elements in the diagram.

Unless I misunderstood the question of course

I don't think you misunderstood and my potential solution is second or third best at most, still, it's worth investigating.

Notwithstanding the static nature of the Legend, as I understand Rolf's UC, the values are statics also.  He just wants to highlight the ones that are the same as the ones he selects.
