Title: How use JavaScript to filter Compartments as part of Diagram Properties?
Post by: ea0522 on November 26, 2024, 11:14:29 pm

Using a JavaScript, I can create a diagram showing the elements I'm interested in.
However, by default, the diagram shows some compartments of the elements resulting in a rather messy diagram with elements of different sized (large) object boxes.

I can make the diagram look nicer using a property of the diagram using "Diagram Properties => Elements => Show Compartments" and then ticking or unticking the desired compartments, e.g. do not tick the Attributes compartment.

Now I would like to know how to set this diagram property using my JavaScript.
Thanks.

Probably in the StyleEx columns somewhere.

Thanks for the quick reply and suggestion Geert.
Did some testing and it looks like it is stored in the PDATA column.

Now the next issue arises, as I cannot find how to set the value for this from JavaScript...
It seems not to be a property of the EA.Diagram object.

Yeah, you might need to an sql update statement with Repository.Execute

Found a solution I would like to share:

Code: [Select]

// Set the properties of curDiagram as EA.Diagram
curDiagram.HighlightImports = false;   // Hides the Namespace of Elements
curDiagram.ExtendedStyle    = "HideAtts=1;";   // Hides the Attribute compartment of Elements
curDiagram.StyleEx              = "HideConnStereotype=1;";  // Hides the Stereotype Labels of Connectors
curDiagram.Update();

Works for me in JavaScript.
Thanks to Geert for pointing in the right direction.
