Hello all,
In my search to create a few nice options for my reports, I was wondering about the following:
How to add numbers to a graphic representation of a model for each process.
I've managed this piece of code so far based on the "Add Polygon" reference:
//Script setup var nLocale = Context.getSelectedLanguage(); var oOutputFile = Context.createOutputObject(); // Set output file variable // Get the selected models var models = ArisData.getSelectedModels(); // For each model, work through following script functions: for (i=0; i<models.length; i++) { // Define some variables var oModel = models[i]; // Current model var sModelName = oModel.Name(nLocale); // Name of current model var funcOccs = oModel.ObjOccListFilter(Constants.OT_FUNC); // Get all function occurrences from the model... var oFuncOccs = ArisData.sort(funcOccs,Constants.SORT_GEOMETRIC, nLocale); //... sorted geometrically // Create a section oOutputFile.BeginSection(false, Constants.SECTION_DEFAULT); // -- Do numbers (must be before doPicture!) doAddNumbers(oFuncOccs); // -- Do picture doPicture(oModel); // -- Do remove numbers (must be after doPicture!) doRemoveNumbers(oModel); // End Section oOutputFile.EndSection(); } // End of for models // Send the output to a file oOutputFile.WriteReport(); // -- START OF FUNCTIONS -- // // This function adds numbers to processes in the model to be represented in the model picture function doAddNumbers(oFuncOccs) { for (var i=0; i<oFuncOccs.length; i++){ // for each process do: var oobjocc = oFuncOccs[i]; // Top Right corner positioning of the object var xPos = oobjocc.X() + oobjocc.Width() + 10; var yPos = oobjocc.Y() - 10; var inText = ""+parseInt(i+1); // Hard to find trick: define text first, then add the number! oobjocc.Model().CreateTextOcc(xPos, yPos, inText); // Define specific text properties } } // End function doAddNumbers // This function writes the current model as a picture to the outputfile function doPicture(oModel){ // Set model name header oModelName = oModel.Name(nLocale); // Print the contents set previously to the outputfile oOutputFile.OutputLn("Process: "+ oModelName, "Arial", 14, Constants.C_BLACK, Constants.C_TRANSPARENT, Constants.FMT_BOLD | Constants.FMT_LEFT, 0); //Define picture oModelPicture = oModel.Graphic(false, false, nLocale); // Print picture oOutputFile.OutGraphic(oModelPicture, -1, oOutputFile.getCurrentMaxWidth(), oOutputFile.GetPageHeight() - oOutputFile.GetTopMargin() -oOutputFile.GetBottomMargin() -10) } // End of function __doPicture // This function removes textnumbers from the model smaller than 100 function doRemoveNumbers(oModel) { // List all objects on the model: var delObj = oModel.TextOccList(); for (var j=0; j<delObj.length; j++){ // For each TextOccurrence ... // ... get the value of the occurrence. var tryObj = delObj[j].TextDef().Attribute(Constants.AT_NAME, nLocale).getValue(); if (parseInt(tryObj) <100){// Test the value to be smaller than 100 delObj[j].Remove(); } } } // End function doRemoveNumbers
I'd like to do two things but am stuck at:
- How to precisely define what the added numbers look like (font formatting BOLD and coloring) to show them better in a highly squeezed picture.
- Avoid, in a database and runtime friendly way, to change the current model. doAddNumbers creates new objects to the model, which should not be permanent. Furthermore, the report intended to use doAddNumbers needs to display the last change date and user, not being the person running the script / system user. How would this best be achieved? Making a copy of the model in a temporary place? Make a backup of the database first and run it as a local copy? Is there some way not to change the content permanently?
Thank you in advance!
