CodeVue Diagram Layout

Header

The header displays information about the type and configuration of the diagram in four distinct lines.

Project Name

This is the name given to the project in the settings.client.project parameter.

Abstraction

This is the abstraction level of the diagram as determined by user interactions navigating from other diagrams or specified in the settings.diagram.level parameter. That abstract text is given a foreground color that matches its level as described in the Abstract Levels section above.

Type

This is the type of diagram as defined in the Diagram Types section above.

Settings

This is a colon-separated list of other diagram configuration parameters specified in several setting.diagram .{parameter} parameters. It helps the reader of the diagram to know what they should expect to see on the diagram.

Title

The title displays information about the diagram's subject. This only applies to Focus diagrams and Module Component diagrams. Landscape diagrams have no subject except for the Module Component Landscape diagram.

Legend

The legend is specific to the abstraction level configured for the diagram, addressing only the types of items that could appear for the configuration. Since the item types that can appear on a diagram are progressive by level, the legend entry is color-coded to indicate which level it pertains to. The stereotypes and sprites applicable for each level are covered in the Stereotypes & Sprites section below.

Footer

Displays the timestamp of when the diagram was generated.

Stereotypes & Sprites

The sections below depict the stereotypes and the sprite visuals for each Abstraction Layer. Each layer uses a subset of the complete collection of stereotypes and sprites.
