Introduction
This document describes how to customize a System Model diagram using a
Shapes XML file to specify the styling of the components and generated legend
items. Modifying or creating a shapes files is intended for advanced users.
You must require a basic knowledge of XPath, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)
and SVG. For information on XPath, see Reference.

System Model item based on criteria met by that item. Specifically, one can set
the following:
-
Background colour

Component patterns (overlay)
-
Border styles (styles)
