Compartment Visibility for Stereotypes

[Jayson]

Hey all

For some reason when I create a Stereotype, the feature compartments don't show up.
So when I add an attribute to the Stereotype, it doesn't show up in the stereotype "box".

The attributes compartment DOES show up in a standard UML Class (after I have enabled Attribute Visibility for the Diagram) but the same cannot be said for the Stereotype.

I've got the _AttPkg, _AttrPri, _AttPub attributes all set to true (1) and so I cannot think of a reason why it doesn't work.

Any and all assistance is appreciated.

Cheers

Maybe you placed them in the stereo rather than in the metaclass?

You mean the _AttPkg etc?
If so, good suggestion but I added them using the profile helpers so they ended up in the right spot.

Sorry, Jays,

I'm with qwerty...  The documentation says they are "Metaclass element Attributes".  Is it conceivably possible that the Sparx coders have coded them incorrectly?    Admittedly, they smell like stereotype attributes, but the documentation says otherwise.

So actually which metaclass do you extend? I might give it a try.

Hey guys

I know, a bit driving me crazy.
I extended the Class metaclass just as a quick test.
The XML is below:

         <Stereotype name="New Class" notes="" cx="0" cy="0">
            <AppliesTo>
               <Apply type="Class">
                  <Property name="_AttInh" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="_AttPkg" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="_AttPri" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="_AttPro" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="_AttPub" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="_HideStype" value="Att1"/>
                  <Property name="_OpInh" value="1"/>
                  <Property name="isActive" value=""/>
               </Apply>
            </AppliesTo>
         </Stereotype>

         </Stereotype>

and.... ?

BTW: cx=0 & cy=0 look a bit odd...

Hey Paolo

cx &cy = 0 are the default sizes for Stereotypes IIRC.
Anywho, when you said "and?", what were you wanting to know?

Cheers :-)

Did it work, not work?  Anything change?

Didn't work for me either. It's a bug. Or how the Sparxians call it: a feature :-/

Said that and found it: remove the element from the diagram and drag it back. Now it DOES have the flag. Is it a fault? Is it a bug? No! It is a feature!
