Modifying a Figure Descriptor [message #485515]

Hello,
I'm new to this forum and I need some help in modifying a figure descriptor.

The figure descriptor has a rounded rectangle figure and a child access. I want to delete both these and create a label.

I tried the following in the EOL file but its giving an error.

-- Find the attribute figure
var slotFigure = GmfGraph!FigureDescriptor.all.
selectOne(r|r.name = 'SlotFigure');

delete slotFigure.roundedrectangle;

Could someone please help me to sort this out? Is there any documentation around which can guide me?

highly appreciate your help.

thanks in advance,
Priyan

This is expected as class FigureDescriptor doesn't have a feature called
"roundedrectangle". The feature you need to delete is called actualFigure.

Alternatively, you could just set the border color of the rectangle to
white using the border.color annotation detail - which should give the
same visual result.

Exeed (also part of Epsilon) can help you with inspecting the models you
need to modify (see
http://epsilonblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/inspecting-emf-m odels-with-exeed/
for details). The EPackage Registry view
( http://epsilonblog.wordpress.com/2009/02/13/the-emf-epackage -registry-view/)
might also prove useful.
