Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams Namespace

  • Article

The types in the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Diagrams namespace display your DSL as a diagram. They provide the implementation of the diagrams, shapes, and connectors that you define in the DSL Definition file. To customize the appearance of the DSL using program code, you work with the types defined in this namespace.

Class diagram of base shape and element types

The principal types of interest are:

  • NodeShape – the base class of shapes that you specify in DSL Definition.

  • BinaryLinkShape – the base class of connectors that you specify in DSL Definition. It has a base class LinkShape, which has no other derived classes.

  • Diagram – the base class of the diagram that you specify in DSL Definition.

  • ShapeElement – base class of NodeShape and LinkShape. Diagrams, shapes and connectors are all ShapeElements.

  • PresentationViewsSubject – the relationship between a shape or connector on the diagram and a domain model element.

  • ShapeField – an area within a shape, such as a section in a compartment shape, a row of text, a label, or an icon.

  • Decorator – an item displayed in a ShapeField. A IconDecorator contains an image on the shape, and a TextDecorator displays a label.

  • DiagramItem – a reference to a shape and optionally a field and subfield within the shape. Used to identify the target of a user operation.

  • ShapeGeometry – this class and its derived classes define and draw the outlines of the different major kinds of shapes, such as ellipses, rectangles, compartments, connectors, and icons. Shapes delegate to these classes the determination of whether a mouse point is inside the shape, and painting the basic outlines.

There can also exist instance StyleSets which contains resource information for each instance of a shape. This should be used when different instances of the same class of shapes can have different appearance.
