Border Shapes Values XML File

Purpose

The border shapes values XML file is used to define the shapes of components. The valid values for a border shape can be box, round, hexagon, box-clipRT, box-clipRB, box-clipLT, box-clipLB, and box-clipAll, or a reference (#xxxx) to a symbol specified in a shapes XML file.

The following figure shows the various predefined shapes:


For information about how to define new values for border shapes, see Customizing the System Model Presentation.

Syntax

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <values default="default-border-shape-value" label="label for legend">
    
        <item label="label for legend" value="border-shape-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 shape-value": Defines the default border shape for the components. This default value gets assigned to the components to which no border shape 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 shape-value": Defines the border shape value for the item. This border shape 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 shape. 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="box" label="Sched 12 Category">
    <item label="Optional Symbian" value="box-clipLT">
         <component name="Cryptography Library"/>
    </item>

    <item label="Common Symbian" value="box-clipLB">
         <component name="SD Card Driver"/> 
         <component name="CLDC Hi 1.1"/>
    </item>
    <item label="Common Replace&#xad;able" value="#symbol-for-CR">
         <component name="Ethernet Driver"/>
        
    </item>
    <item label="Optional Replace&#xad;able" value="box-clipRT">
         <component name="OMAP 1623"/>
         <component name="Bootstrap"/>
         <component name="WMA 1.1"/>
    </item>
    
</values>
