The CSS applies to the shape of the component and it can control the
stroke width, and dash pattern as well as the overall opacity. It cannot set
the stroke or text colors.
Syntax
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<values default="default-border style-value" label="label for legend">
<item label="label for legend" value="border style-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-border style-value": Defines the
default border style for the components. This default value gets assigned to
the components to which no border style value is assigned.
-
label="label for legend": Defines the label for the
legend.
Each item tag can contain the following attributes:
-
label="label for legend": Defines the label for the
legend.
-
value="border style-value": Defines the border style
value for the item. This border style value gets assigned to all the components
listed in that item tag.
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 border style. 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="stroke-width: 0.4">
<item label="Plugin" value="stroke-width: 2">
<component name="SD Card Driver"/>
<component name="Audio Driver"/>
</item>
</values>
