Diagram Properties Admin Display

Use this Diagram Generator display to configure Diagram Properties for your diagrams. Diagram properties are settings that are applied to the diagrams as a whole, such as orientation, alignment and spacing. Properties that use GLOBAL for the diagram name are applied to all diagrams. You can override a diagram property for a single diagram by using the name of that diagram in the Diagram field.

Diagram Properties

Use the following properties in the Property/Value fields in the Diagram Properties Admin Display display to configure diagram display.

Property Name

Description

hGap

Horizontal space between nodes in pixels. This can be overridden per-node in the node properties. Default is 28.

vGap

Vertical space between nodes in pixels. This can be overridden per-node in the node properties. Default is 22.

objectTemplateDisplay

 

The name of the file containing the nodes and links to use for the diagrams. The name of each node and link in this file corresponds to the name in the Type field of the node and link tables.

orientation

The orientation of the diagram. Default is VERTICAL which lays the nodes out in the order specified from the top of the display to the bottom with nodes in the same tier laid out left to right. HORIZONTAL lays out the nodes in the order specified from left to right with nodes in the same tier laid out top to bottom.

hAlignment

Controls the horizontal alignment of the diagram in the available space. Default is CENTER which centers the diagram in the available space. Options are:

LEFT – Position the diagram at the left of the available space.

CENTER – Position the diagram in the center of the available space.

CENTERLINE – Position the centerline of the diagram in the center of the available space. This option is only valid if orientation=VERTICAL and wrapDiagram=false. If orientation=HORIZONTAL or wrapDiagram=true, CENTER will be used instead.

RIGHT – Position the diagram at the right of the available space.

vAlignment

Controls the vertical alignment of the diagram in the available space. Default is CENTER which centers the diagram in the available space. Options are:

TOP – Position the diagram at the top of the available space.

CENTER – Position the diagram in the center of the available space.

CENTERLINE – Position the centerline of the diagram in the center of the available space. This option is only valid if orientation=HORIZONTAL and wrapDiagram=false. If orientation=VERTICAL or wrapDiagram=true, CENTER will be used instead.

Bottom – Position the diagram at the bottom of the available space.

wrapDiagram

If true, the diagram wraps into columns if orientation=VERTICAL or rows if orientation=HORIZONTAL. Default is false.

wrapSpacing

The number of pixels between columns/rows if wrapDiagram = true. Default is 20.

margins

Sets the minimum amount of space between the edge of the display and the diagram in pixels. You can either specify one value that will be used for all 4 margins or a comma separated list of 4 values in this order: top, left, bottom, right. Default is 40,10,10,10 which sets the top margin to 40 pixels and the left, bottom and right margins to 10 pixels.

deleteSavedDiagramNodes

This option applies to diagrams that were manually edited as described in Edit Diagrams in the Display Builder. If true, delete any diagram nodes that were saved to the display in the Display Builder. Default is false.
