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.
