When adding a stereotype to a class a new compartment for that stereotype is added. How do I control this (primarily visibility) using CSS?

See the attached image to understand which compartment I mean.

I was trying something like this but it didn't work.

Class[appliedStereotypes~="Subsystem"]>Compartment[kind="Subsystem"] {
    visible:true;
}

Hi Patrik,

The main selector property for Compartments (And other "pure notation" elements) is "type", which corresponds to the type attribute in the Notation model (XMI). "Kind" has been added to provide a more human-readable value (and to be used in CSS), mostly because at this time, Notation Type attributes were integers. Anyhow; the "kind" attribute only exists if it has been specified with the appropriate extension point, so it won't know anything about your Stereotypes.

You can either populate this extension point for your Stereotypes: org.eclipse.papyrus.infra.gmfdiag.common.notationTypesMapping, or you can use the raw "type" attribute instead (Which may use a different value than the Stereotype name).

HTH,
Camille

Thanks Camille,

In the notation model (of my model, not profile) I have the following related to the stereotype:

  <children xsi:type="notation:Shape" xmi:id="_OQIc1YyuEeubD-0eUfeH6A" type="StereotypeComment">
    <styles xsi:type="notation:TitleStyle" xmi:id="_OQJD4IyuEeubD-0eUfeH6A"/>
    <styles xsi:type="notation:EObjectValueStyle" xmi:id="_OQJD4oyuEeubD-0eUfeH6A" name="BASE_ELEMENT">
      <eObjectValue href="Arvstest.uml#_x9KxwIewEeupXtlnIYWmqg"/>
    </styles>
    <element xsi:nil="true"/>
    <layoutConstraint xsi:type="notation:Bounds" xmi:id="_OQJD4YyuEeubD-0eUfeH6A" x="300" y="120"/>
  </children>

I assume the type you are referring to is

type="StereotypeComment"

?

(However this child element is not part of the class shape as the other compartment nodes are.)

Should the style be like this? Becasue I can't get it to work?

Class[appliedStereotypes~="Subsystem"]>Compartment[type="StereotypeComment"] {
    visible:true;
}

Hi Patrik,

I think the Stereotype Compartments you're talking about are dynamically generated by Papyrus, and not persisted in the Notation model by default; so most of my previous answer can be ignored. There is actually a specific CSS syntax for these dynamic Stereotype compartments, as described here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/Papyrus/UserGuide/CSS#Stereotype_Display

So in your case, this would be something like this:

Compartment[stereotype="YourProfile::Subsystem"]{ /* Note that the full Stereotype qualified name is required */
	visible: true;
}

Then you may also need to select the Stereotype properties you want to display in this compartment:

Compartment[type=StereotypeCompartment]>[property="allocatedTo"]{ /* Here you just need the property's simple name */
	visible:true;
}

The "StereotypeCompartment" type is generic and will match the Stereotype Compartment for any applied stereotype. The [stereotype="Stereotype::Qualified::Name"] selector can be used to refine the rule. And the [property="propertyName"] selector can be used to match child list items of these compartments.

HTH,
Camille
