SVG customization and comprtments [message #1712669]

Hi,

I'd like to customize a component node/shape using an SVG but still having the ability to display contained elements in the containment compartment of the component.

I don't see how to do this since the shape is in the shape compartment which doesn't contain the containment compartment.

Is there a(n easy) way around this?

Regards
Patrik

Hi Patrik,

This use case is currently not supported. It is not possible to decorate an existing compartment or entire node (e.g. with a background image)

This is something we might consider for future customization work

Camille

Ok, thanks Camille,

I found "Figure customization and custom shape support in all diagrams" in https://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/project-info/new_and_noteworthy_1.1.0.php

There the figure is customized and maybe that could be an alternative. Is there any more information on this somewhere?

I'd like to show the figure with rounded corners (as well as one compartment for contained elements), would that be possible using this?

Regards
Patrik

Hi Patrick,

The default Papyrus figure (Used for *almosts* all nodes in Papyrus Mars+) supports the following customizations, without relying on SVG images:

- Rectangle with rounded corners (e.g. Class, OpaqueAction)
- Oval (e.g. UseCase)
- 'Package' (e.g. Package, Profile, Model)

The radius of the rounded corners can be customized (from 0 for true rectangles, to "a lot" for rounded elements)

You can find additional information in the Papyrus Help (F1 or here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/Papyrus/UserGuide/CSS) that contains a table of all supported CSS Properties, or on this page:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Papyrus/Mars_Work_Description/NewFeature/Shape_customisation

Which also contains examples (But since this was a work-in-progress document, it might not be entirely up-to-date, e.g. some properties might have been renamed in the final version). I would expect it to be accurate for the properties you are looking for, however.

HTH,
Camille

Hi Patrick,

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=472167 lists some of the exceptions to the "almost" qualification of Camille (might save you from some frustration Smile

)

@Camille: I've added this to the wiki page. Feel free to correct me!

HTH,

Klaas

Hi

If you open one *.uml with the UML Model Editor, you can

either Load Resource for the other *.uml and DND within the one tree editor,

or open the other *.uml with the UML Model Editor and DND between tree
editors.
