Colors Values XML File
Purpose
The colors values XML file is used to define the colors of components.
The valid value that can be specified for a color can be any CSS colors type.
For example, it can be #cc00aa, rgb(255,18,200), or
blue.
For information about how to define new values colors, see
Customizing the System Model Presentation.
Note: For more information, see
CSS2 Specification.
Syntax
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<values default="default-color-value" label="label for legend">
<item label="label for legend" value="color-value">
<component name="component-name"/>
<component name="component-name"/>
<component name="component-name"/>
…
</item>
<item …>
…
</item>
…
</values>
In the preceding syntax, the values tag contains the
item tags. The various attributes under the values
tag are:
-
default="default-color-value": Defines the default
color for the components. This default value gets assigned to the components to
which no color value is assigned.
-
label="label for legend": Defines the label for the
legend.
Each item tag can contain the following attributes:
The item tag also contains component tags to
specify the components in the item. All the components defined in an
item tag have the same color. The following is the syntax to
define a component:
<component name="component-name"/>
Where component-name indicates the name of the component
defined in the system definition file.
Example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<values default="grey" label="Technology Streams">
<item label="Base Services" value="#8f8fbd">
<component name="Application Utilities"/>
<component name="Content Access Framework for DRM"/>
</item>
<item label="Persistent Data Services" value="#993366">
<component name="SQL"/>
<component name="Store"/>
<component name="DBMS"/>
</item>
</values>
