Values XML Files

The Values XML files are used to define default and per-component display properties. You can use a values XML file to define colors, patterns, border shapes, or border styles of the components.

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

There are four types of Values XML files:

Notes:

  • You are recommended to specify a default value when using the values to specify colors or shapes, since components not specified in the file will either be black or not show up at all.

  • While creating a value XML file (colors, patterns, border shapes or border styles), you can only specify predefined set of values to the items. For information about the values that can be specified in each type of values XML file, refer to the corresponding topic.

  • All values in a values XML file must be of the same type.
