Declaring a master shape

You declare a master shape with the DiagramShapeName parameter of the DiagramShapeMap entry.

Caution: If declaring a compound master shape, you must set the isGroup parameter to true.

<DiagramShapeMap DiagramShapeName="mstr_name" isGroup="t_f">
...
</DiagramShapeMap>
  • DiagramShapeName — declares the name of the master shape for this entry. Replace mstr_name with the exact name of the master shape in the stencil.
  • isGroup — for a compound master shape, replace t_f with true. Caution: isGroup must be true if the master shape is a compound shape (two or more shapes grouped together). For a single ungrouped shape, replace with false or omit the parameter.

Note: For the TraceLink master shape, the Link parameter replaces isGroup. Enter true if the shape represents the GRM trace link relation, otherwise false. GRM relations appear in diagrams as connector shapes, governed by the relation rule for the diagram template associated with the mapping file.

A DiagramShapeMap entry contains a typeMaps entry, which itself contains other entries.
