Publisher Schema - Diagrams

Diagram

A Diagram is a graphical representation of a resource. It often includes references/representations of other Architecture Management Resources.

• Defines an associated icon, which is a 16x16 image associated to the diagram's title when presenting a link to this diagram. Diagrams of the same type usually reference the same icon, though it is not required.
• Defines image, which contains the picture of the diagram. The picture is a snapshot of the diagram as displayed in the authoring tool.
• Defines areas, a collection of diagram areas, each one referencing a resource displayed on the diagram at specific coordinates. Only areas representing a published resource are of interest here, enabling navigation from a diagram picture to resources.

DiagramArea

A shape displayed in a diagram that represents a published resource.

• Defines a zOrder, which is an ordering of overlapping areas in the diagram. It determines which of two overlapping areas appears on the top of the other.
• Defines represents, which references the resource associated to the diagram area.
• Is one of the following sub type:

  • Rectangle
    A rectangle node displayed in the diagram. The rectangle coordinates (x and y) and size (width and height) are measured in pixels. The coordinates are absolute and the root point is at the top-left of the diagram.

  • DiagramPath
    A edge displayed in the diagram.

    • Defines coordinates for the points defining segment of the edge (start point, intermediate points and end point). The coordinates are absolute and the root point is at the top-left of the diagram.
