Customizing existing off-page connector types

Predefined connector types

JViews TGO provides IltOffPageConnector types that you can use directly in your applications, as listed in the following table.

Off-page connector types and their graphical representation

Type	Representation	Description
Standard		Standard off-page connector
Managed		The off-page connector represents a generic managed entity.
SingleManaged		The off-page connector represents a single entity currently managed by the system.
MultipleManaged		The off-page connector represents multiple entities currently managed by the system.
Unmanaged		The off-page connector represents a generic entity not managed by the system.
SingleUnmanaged		The off-page connector represents a single entity currently not managed by the system.
MultipleUnmanaged		The off-page connector represents multiple entities currently not managed by the system.

Properties of predefined connector types

The properties listed in the following table apply to all the predefined off-page connector types.

CSS properties for the predefined off-page connector types

Property Name	Type	Default Value	Description
`shapeWidth`	`float`	`19`	Denotes the width of an off-page connector.
`shapeHeight`	`float`	`19`	Denotes the height of an off-page connector.
`depressed`	`boolean`	`false`	Denotes whether the graphic representation of the off-page connector is displayed depressed or not.
`tiny`	`boolean`	`false` in the network and equipment components `true` in the table and tree components	Sets the off-page connector base to the tiny representation. The tiny representation is used mainly in the tree and table components.
`logical`	`boolean`	`false`	Sets the off-page connector base to the logical representation. In the logical representation, all off-page connector types have the same look, that is a rectangular shape.

Mapped properties of predefined connector types

The properties listed in the following table are mapped, that is, their value is computed automatically from the alarms set in the object (column Set). You can override the mapped values or customize their graphic representation even when the object does not carry states and alarms.

Possible values are: `IlFillStyle.NO_FILL` `IlFillStyle.SOLID_COLOR` `IlFillStyle.LINEAR_GRADIENT` `IlFillStyle.RADIAL_GRADIENT` `IlFillStyle.TEXTURE` `IlFillStyle.PATTERN`

How to customize standard off-page connectors

The following CSS extract shows how you can customize the graphic representation of standard off-page connectors. In this example, the size of the off-page connector is set to 21x21:

object."ilog.tgo.model.IltOffPageConnector"[type=Standard] {
   shapeWidth: 21;
   shapeHeight: 21;
}
