Customizing link representations

Some properties are mapped, which means that they are computed on the basis of the state and alarm information set in the object (column Set).

The properties can be divided into three categories:

CSS properties applying to the link base

Property Name	Type	Set	Default Value	Description
`background`	`Color`	Yes	Transparent ( `null` )	Specifies the background color; if this value is `null` , it is interpreted as a transparent color
`foreground`	`Color`	Yes	28% gray in the IltObject class style	Specifies the foreground color of the base.
`borderColor`	`Color`	Yes	10% gray	Specifies the color of the border lines of the linear base.
`borderColor2`	`Color`	Yes	60% gray	Specifies the color of the background of the border lines. It is used only if the line style is not solid.
`borderWidth`	`Float`	Yes	1 pixel	Determines the width of each border. If the `borderWidth` property is zero (0), no border line will be drawn.
`borderLineStyle`	`float[]`	Yes	`null` (Solid)	Stores the line style of the border lines.
`reliefBorders`	`Boolean`	Yes	`true`	Discriminates between two identical border lines ( `false` value) and two differently colored borders to produce a relief effect.
`lineStyle`	`float[]`	Yes	`null` (Solid)	Defines the style of the linear base.
`lineWidth`	`Float`	Yes	`5f`	Defines the width of the center line of the base in the case of a linear base.
`forcedWidth`	`Float`	No	0	If the value of this property is not zero, the width of the center line is augmented or diminished so that the total width equals the width stored in `forcedWidth` .

CSS properties applying to arrows on link base elements

Property Name	Type	Set	Default Value	Description
`hasFromArrow` `hasToArrow`	`boolean`	Yes	false	These two properties determine whether there is an arrow or not at the beginning and end of the link
`fromArrowSize` `toArrowSize`	`float`	No	8 pixels	Define the length of the arrow at the beginning and end of the link
`fromArrowColor` `toArrowColor`	`Color`	Yes	28% gray	Define the color of the center of the arrow, if the arrow has a border, or the whole arrow, if the arrow has no border
`fromArrowReliefBorders` `toArrowReliefBorders`	`boolean`	Yes	`true`	Gives a relief effect to the arrow border
`fromArrowBorderColor` `toArrowBorderColor`	`Color`	Yes	10% gray	Defines the color of the arrow border
`fromArrowBorderColor2` `toArrowBorderColor2`	`Color`	Yes	60% gray	If `FromArrowReliefBorders` (or `ToArrowReliefBorders` ) is `true` , this property defines the dark color of the relief effect

CSS properties applying to the inner line of link base elements

Property Name	Type	Set	Default Value	Description
`innerLineWidth`	`float[]`	Yes	`null` (Solid)	Denotes the width of the center line of the inner part of the link base, if any.
`innerBorderWidth`	`float`	Yes	0	Defines the width of the border line of the inner part of the link base, if any.
`innerLineStyle`	`float[]`	Yes	`Solid`	Defines the style of the inner line of the link base, if any
`innerForeground`	`Color`	Yes	28% gray	Defines the foreground color of the inner line of the link base, if any
`innerBackground`	`Color`	Yes	transparent ( `null` )	Defines the background color of the inner line of the link base, if any
`innerReliefBorders`	`boolean`	Yes	`true`	Discriminates between two identical border lines ( `false` value) and two differently colored borders to produce a relief effect for the inner line, if any
`innerBorderLineStyle`	`float[]`	Yes	`Solid`	Stores the line style of the border lines of the inner line, if any
`innerBorderColor`	`Color`	Yes	10% gray	Specifies the color of the border lines of the inner line, if any
`innerBorderColor2`	`Color`	Yes	60% gray	Specifies the color of the background of the border lines of the inner line, if any. It is used only if the line style is not solid.

Note

The inner line set of properties apply to links that use the IltBiSONET object state. You can also customize other links with an inner line.
