Node/edge type definition in booggie for visualization with yEd?

In booggie 2, I can export graphs to yEd's graphML-Format. However, I've no clue how the node and edge type definitions in the metamodel should look like such that I can control their visual appearance

Could anyone please provide an example?

Solution

  • This is how a node type definition (has to be named YEdNode) with some yEd-attribute definitions looks like:

    node class YEdNode{
    height: int = 50;
    width: int = 100;
    x: int = 0;
    y: int = 0;
    color : string = "#FFFFFF";
    shape : Shape = Shape::RECTANGLE;
    label : string = "";
}

    And the same for an edge type definition (has to be named YEdEdge): 

    edge class YEdEdge{
    color : string = "#000000";
    lineWidth: int = 2;
    label : string ="";
    lineType : string = "line";
}

    The shape-ENUM should look like that:

    enum Shape {RECTANGLE, ROUNDRECTANGLE, ELLIPSE, PARALLELOGRAM, HEXAGON, TRIANGLE, RECTANGLE3D, OCTAGON, DIAMOND, TRAPEZOID, TRAPEZOID2}
