UML profile : fill color after DrawNativeShape

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I'm creating a stereotype that includes some shapescript calling DrawNativeShape and displaying a label.
This stereotype is applied on the BPMN2 DataObject definition (itself a stereotype).

When I apply a fill colour on the stereotype in the UML profile diagram, this colour is not applied to the stereotyped elements when using my UML profile.
Does the DrawNativeShape prevents from the fill & border colours to be customised? Or is it due to the fact that my stereotype has a generalisation link with another stereotype (i.e. does the BPMN2 stereotype overwrite this information?)

thanks

DrawNativeShape just draws the default border line. But the fill color can be changed.

Did you save the profile by right-clicking the diagram? Because if you save the profile by right-clicking the package in the project browser, it won't pick up the colour of the «stereotype» element.

Hi,

I'm working on a BPMN Data Object's stereotype, and I eventually figured out that the background colour is only used when you set the data object as an input or output (background colour is rendered in the arrow not the element's main body).

Thanks

I don't think that's true anymore. I know it has been in the past, but I've been maintaining a profile for a few years now which has several diagrams and where I always save from the project browser. One stereotype has a custom colour (no _image attribute), and it always works -- EA generates the necessary script during the export process and places it in its <Image> tag.
