Recognize model constructions in the type graph view

Recognize model constructions in the type graph view

The Type graphview is a powerful tool that provides a graphical representation of the workspace SE model. This representation shows all the type elements, type relations, and type properties. The different model constructions are uniquely visualized for quick recognition.

The visualizations of the different types of type elements

Visualization Type element Characteristics
Standard type element
  • type element icon in a circle
Derived type element
  • type element icon in a square
  • static positioned beneath its origin type element
Inner derived type element
  • type element icon in a square with a dotted line
  • static positioned beneath its origin type element
Middle type element
  • type element icon in a diamond
  • static positioned on a type relation curve
Inner middle type element
  • type element icon in a diamond with a dotted line
  • static positioned on a type relation curve
Hierarchical derived type element
  • always contains a recursive type relation
  • type relation curve starts at the top and angulate to the left and back to the type element

The visualizations of the different types of type relations

Visualization Type relation Characteristics
Single cardinality type relation
  • single arrow pointing to the to-element
Multi cardinality type relation
  • two arrows pointing to the to-element
Collection type relation
  • relation name starting with the collection icon
  • multiple relations with the same name
Recursive type relation
  • curve starts at the top and ellipses to the right and back to the type element

The visualizations of the type properties

Properties are not standard shown in the type graphview. To make the properties visible, click on in the label of the type element name.

Visualization Type property Characteristics
Type property
  • visible after a click on in the label of the type element name.

Note:

  • The order of the properties can be changed using the organize details button ( ) on the detail view.
