Style sheet files

JViews Diagrammer style sheet files ( .css ) have the CSS for Java syntax. When you use the Designer to create a diagram component, you do not need to know CSS; when you save, the Designer creates the project file in XML and the style sheet file in CSS for Java™.

The following code sample shows the style sheet that generates the diagram when you choose File>New:

Example of style sheet for a new diagram

SDM {

Map : "false";

LinkLayout : "true";

Composite : "true";

GraphLayout : "true";

HalfZooming : "false";

}

LinkLayout {

_rule_name : "Link Layout";

enabled : "true";

}

node {

   class : "@|symbolResource(ilog/views/palettes/shared/symbols/Rectangular.css,Symbol)";

Interactor : "ilog.views.sdm.IlvSDMCompositeInteractor";

name : "@name";

}

link {

class : "ilog.views.sdm.graphic.IlvGeneralLink";

oriented : "true";

foreground : "black";

lineWidth : "1";

arrowRatio : "3";

maximumLineWidth : "2";

minimumLineWidth : "1";

arrowColor : "black";

}

link:selected {

_rule_name : "is selected";

foreground : "red";

arrowColor : "red";

}

If you want to extend a diagram component by editing the style sheet manually, see Using CSS syntax in the style sheet in Developing with the JViews Diagrammer SDK.
