Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Shape Script and Tag Values

« on: July 31, 2014, 07:24:46 pm »

Hi,

I want to create a shape script that has a number of inner rectangles that aim to look like bar charts.

----------------- 100%
------------        50%
---                   20%

It's easy to draw them. What I would like to be able to do it have the values driven from a tag value so that changing the tag value will alter the size of the bar.

I can read the value as "#TAGS:BAR1#" but when I use that as a variable to change the size of the bar the shape vanishes (possibly due to the type being non-numeric??).

Any idea how I can do this? Pint for the best answer.

Cheers,
Jez

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Numerous automation questions and other

« on: July 05, 2014, 12:48:57 am »

Hi,

I've created a reasonable complex project in which I'm laying out components on the diagram using Java driven automation.

Works great but I have some visual components that need to modify. There are:

TEXT ORIENTATION
-----------------------

A number of my components are orientated such that they have a much larger height than width. I would therefore like to have the text run vertically. I have see this when using BPMN Pools so I know its possible but not sure how to switch on this behaviour.

SCRIPTING
-------------

I would like to add additional elements to my diagram objects. I have seen how the stereotype scripting can help. What I would like to do is load the BPMN stereotypes and see how the script looks which should give me clues on modifying it. Is this possible?

MDG
-----

Am I able to load an MDG and then modify it and save it under a different name. Again, BPMN as an example.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Cheers
