Displaying stereotype shape immediately [message #1693823]

Hi

I have created a profile with a few stereotypes with both Icons and Shapes defined. We are able to display the shapes using our .css with the following css fragment:

Compartment[kind="symbol"]  {
    visible:true;
}

However, this is only applied after having clicked the Display selected stereotype... button in the Appearance tab of the Properties view, see figure.
index.php/fa/21681/0/

We would want the stereotype shape to be immediately visible when creating a class in a diagram or when dragging it into the diagram. Perhaps controlled by .css or so.

Any advice?

Patrik

Hi Patrik,

Instead of using Stereotype's Shapes, you can use CSS Shapes, such as:

[appliedStereotypes~=MyStereotype] > Compartment[kind=symbol] {
    visible: true;
}

[appliedStereotypes~=MyStereotype] {
    svgFile: 'platform:/plugin/my.plugin/images/myImage.svg'; //Works best with SVG, but can also work for other image formats, even if the property is named "svg" file

}

The image will be displayed as soon as "MyStereotype" is applied on the element. Then, you can create a new Palette Entry to create a Class stereotyped with MyStereotype directly

HTH,
Camille
