Database Icon

[David Meyers]

I'm creating a deployment diagram and I want to include a generic database component/symbol.  The typical symbol for a database is a cylinder.  Is this available somewhere in EA?

thanks,

Dave

Alternatively, you can use this shape script or something like it:

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
 ellipse(0,60,100,100);
 startpath();
 rectangle(0,20,100,80);
 endpath();
 fillpath();
 ellipse(0,0,100,40);
 moveto(0,20);
 lineto(0,80);
 moveto(100,20);
 lineto(100,80);
}


See the help file to find out what to do with shape scripts. In short, you will need to define a stereotype, define a shape script for the stereotype, and apply the stereotype to your database object. Any problems, please ask.
