How to show functions and attributes inside interface? [message #470358]

Most of my interfaces are pretty descriptive. i.e. they have function
definitions and attributes inside them.

The uml diagram editor doesn't seem to display these functions and
attributes. Is there a way to enable these things?

Currently I am generating UML class diagram using the uml ecore editor.

Thanks

Hi Pradeep!

"Show As Class" action in the context menu of Interface is used to show
Interface as rectangle. Inner Attributes and Operations are shown inside
right as it was done for Classes.

This is very good question as it is not always obvious that Interface may be
shown as Class.
There is bug in bugzilla 182156 [ClassD] beautify diagram: Interface with
class notation should be created by default. It has circle
figure on creation now.
We are going to fix it soon.

Tatiana.

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to dig up an old post, but I have a question related to the interface representation.

Is it somehow possible to programatically set the representation type of an interface to the emf model element?

Actually I introduce several interfaces to a newly created class diagram (using the package.createInterface(name) method). Unfortunately they are still created as cycles but I need them to be represented as classes. Is there any way to do this directly on interface creation?

Thank you in advance,
Daniel
