Border Styles Values XML File

Purpose

The border styles values XML file is used to define the border styles of components. The valid values for a border style can be any CSS property of an SVG shape.

Note: For more information, see Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) 1.1 Specification.

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>
