Answer

In this package a model type GraphRep for displaying a model as a set of bars has been implemented.
The model itself can be both a graph or a pool and the objects (modelling instances) are centrally displayed in the Modelling Area.
The values of some selected attributes are displayed on both sides on the modelling area, as defined by the developer.
This solution allows the activation/deactivation of the bar display, selecting the orientation of the modelling area (horizontal/vertical), selection of visible attributes (bars) and much more...

The images below show horizontal and vertical orientation as well as the model type notebook, where the appearance of the model type GraphRep can be configured:

The files below contain an example library (Bar_Display_Library) and example models (Bar_Display_Example_Models):

Hands-On

1) Create new class __ModelTypeMetaData__



Steps to create class __ModelTypeMetaData__
  • Go to the Library management, select a dynamic library and click Class hierarchy.
  • Click View and select Metamodel.
  • Select __D-construct__ (Metamodel)
  • Click New --> New class; name it __ModelTypeMetaData__  (two underscore signs!).
2) Add new attributes to class __ModelTypeMetaData__



Steps to add attributes to class __ModelTypeMetaData__:
  • Select class __ModelTypeMetaData__
  • Click New --> New attribute...
  • Name new attributes and select type according figure above: (1) name: BAR GraphRep, type: Longstring (2) name: BAR AttrRep, type: Longstring (3) name: Reference overview settings, type: Longstring.
3) Add Enumeration attribute BAR Display active to class __ModelTypeMetaData__



Steps to add and configure the Enumeration attribute:
  • Select class __ModelTypeMetaData__
  • Click New --> New attribute...
  • Name new attribute BAR Display active and set type to Enumeration.
  • Click OK and add the values Yes and No: type Yes into the New value input bar, click Add and do the same for No.
4) Add further attributes to __ModelTypeMetaData__



Name: Info_color, type: String, value: lightblue
Name: Info_display, type: Enumeration, values: Yes, No.
Name: Info_size, type: Enumeration, values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14.
Name: Modelling direction, type: Enumeration, values: horizontal, vertical.
Name: Modelling_size, type: Enumeration, values: 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 18, 22.
Name: References_color, type: String, value: lightblue
Name: References_display, type: Enumeration, values: Yes, No.
Name: References_size, type: Enumeration, values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14.

5) Configure BAR AttrRep attribute
  • Double click BAR AttrRep attribute, set Standard value to:
 1CHAPTER "BAR Display"
 2ATTR "BAR Display active" ctrltype: check checked-value: "Yes" unchecked-value: "No"
 3AVAL s_Aktiv: "BAR Display active"
 4ATTR "Modelling direction" ctrltype: radio enabled: (s_Aktiv = "Yes")
 5ATTR "Modelling_size"
 6GROUP "References"
 7ATTR "References_display" ctrltype: check checked-value: "Yes" unchecked-value: "No" enabled: (s_Aktiv = "Yes")
 8AVAL s_References_display: "References_display"
 9ATTR "References_color" dialog: color enabled: ((s_Aktiv = "Yes") AND (s_References_display = "Yes"))
10ATTR "References_size"
11ENDGROUP
12GROUP "Info"
13ATTR "Info_display" ctrltype: check checked-value: "Yes" unchecked-value: "No" enabled: (s_Aktiv = "Yes")
14AVAL s_Info_display: "Info_display"
15ATTR "Info_color" dialog: color enabled: ((s_Aktiv = "Yes") AND (s_Info_display = "Yes"))
16ATTR "Info_size"
17ENDGROUP
18CHAPTER "Description"
19ATTR "Description"

6) Configuring BAR GraphRep attribute


  • Double click BAR GraphRep attribute, set Standard value to:
1@INCLUDE "db:\\modeltype_graphrep_BAR.leo"
  • make sure that the file modeltype_graphrep_BAR.leo is contained in the database of the current library (close the Library management and go to Extras --> File management…).
The file modeltype_graphrep_BAR.leo contains the following code:
  1GRAPHREP layer:-3
  2SHADOW off

  4AVAL modDirection:"Modelling direction"
  5AVAL sNav: "BAR Display active"

108}

7) Configure Reference overview settings attribute


  • Double click Reference overview settings attribute, set Standard value to:
1References|References
2Modelling|Drawing Area
3Info|Info

8) Create new class A; superclass: __D-construct__ (Metamodel)

9) Add new attributes to class A


  • name: _disp_Info_, type: Expression.
  • name: _disp_Modelling_, type: Expression.
  • name: _disp_References_, type: Expression.
  • name: _Modelling_direction_, type: Expression.
  • name: _REFERENCE_OVERVIEW_SETTINGS_, type: Expression.
  • name: _size_Info_, type: Expression.
  • name: _size_Modelling_, type: Expression.
  • name: _size_References_, type: Expression.
  • name: Info, type: Longstring.
10) Configure new Expression attributes in class A


  • Double click on _disp_Info_ attribute
  • Set Standard value:
1EXPR type:string expr: (maval("Info_display"))
  • Analogously define values of remaining Expression attributes (thereby the argument in the maval function is always the name of the corresponding attribute in __ModelTypeMetaData__).
11) Configure GraphRep of class A


  • Double click GraphRep (Metamodel).
  • Click the Dialog button.
  • Enter:
1GRAPHREP
2SHADOW off

5ATTR "Name" x:0.00cm y:1.0cm w:c
6@INCLUDE "db:\\class_graphrep_BAR.leo"
  • Make sure that the file class_graphrep_BAR.leo is contained in the database.
The file class_graphrep_BAR.leo contains the following code:
 1#Define amount of space for displaying attribute values:
 2SET cmDisplayHeight:4cm
 3SET cmDisplayHeight2:4cm
 4
 5#read "Modelling direction" and "Reference overview settings" attributes [via corresponding expression attributes]:

12) Create new class B; superclass: __D-construct__ (Metamodel)

13) Configure GraphRep of class B

code:
1GRAPHREP
2SHADOW off
3FILL color:red
4ELLIPSE x:0.00cm y:0cm rx:1cm ry:1cm
5ATTR "Name" x:0.00cm y:1.0cm w:c

14) Define Modeltypes


  • Go back to the Library management and select your current Dynamic Library.
  • Click Library attributes… -->  Add-ons and define the following two model types according the figure above
1MODELTYPE "Bar Display Sample" from:none plural:"Bar Display Samples" pos:0 not-simulateable bitmap:"db:\\sample.bmp" graphrep: "BAR GraphRep" attrrep: "BAR AttrRep"
2INCL "A"
3MODELTYPE "References Sample" from:none plural:"References Samples" pos:1 not-simulateable bitmap:"db:\\sample-target.bmp"
4INCL "B"



Steps to add the Interref attribute References to A:
  • Select class A
  • Click New --> New attribute...
  • Name new attribute References and set type to Interref.
  • Click OK
  • Double click on new attribute Refereces --> click Facets.
  • Click the Dialog button of the AttributeInterRefDomain attribute, see figure above.
  • Select Instance references, click Add…, select Model type References Sample and Class B and apply (twice).


Result

In order to see the result, import and open Bar_Display_Example_Models in the ADOxx Modeling Toolkit. When importing the example models, one may need to click on the "Import objects from other Library" option.
