Diagram metadata
« on: April 12, 2005, 11:06:14 pm »
While a diagram is not a UNL (1 or 2) Model Element, it woud be _really_ _really_ _really_ great  8) if we could attach tagged values to a diagram.

I have found that I am increasingly able to define diagrams in terms of a rendering algorithm operating on a set of objects.  If I have the ability to attach tagged values to a diagram, I can use automation to [glb]automatically[/glb] update these diagrams when the model changes.

_AUTOMAGIC_!!!

How about it?

Actually, while we're at it, could we have the normal set of properties (Detail, Require,Contratints, Link, Scenario, Files) ?

Thanx,

Alexander,
the stereotype is already present. Observe the properties page (top middle).
