xcosPalAddBlock

Arguments

pal:

the palette to update

block:

the block to add to the palette

pal_block_img:

the block icon to use on the palette manager.

style:

the style to apply to the block

Description

This macros add a block instance to a palette. This block parameter can be an instantiated block or a name (interface-function) or a path to a saved instance. Some operations are performed to load this block and check it's availability so it's interface-function must be loaded on Scilab. Some temporary files are also generated without full path arguments.

The optional pal_block_img argument is generated on the TMPDIRusing Scilab graphics if not specified.Be careful that if you use our palette to be persistent you then need to specify it. Otherwise the generated image will be deleted at the end of the Scilab session.

The optional style argument allow the user to determine the kind of style to be used by this block. This argument can be typed as a path stringor a struct. If it is a string then a default style value is generated and formatted as a style else a struct is wrapped to a key-value jgraphx settings. The following stylecorrespond to jgraphx version 1.4.0.2. These style keys can change with new version of jgraphx without any warranty.

JGraphx style keys

"opacity"

Defines the key for the opacity style. The type of the value is float and the possible range is 0-100.

"textOpacity"

Defines the key for the text opacity style. The type of the value is float and the possible range is 0-100.

"overflow"

Defines the key for the overflow style. Possible values are "visible", "hidden"or "fill". The default value is "visible". This value specifies how overlapping vertex labels are handles. A value of "visible" will show the complete label. A value of "hidden" will clip the label so that it does not overlap the vertex bounds. A value of "fill" will use the vertex bounds for the label.

"orthogonal"

Defines if the connection points on either end of the edge should be computed so that the edge is vertical or horizontal if possible and if the point is not at a fixed location. Default is false.

"exitX"

Defines the key for the horizontal relative coordinate connection point of an edge with its source terminal.

"exitY"

Defines the key for the vertical relative coordinate connection point of an edge with its source terminal.

"exitPerimeter"

Defines if the perimeter should be used to find the exact entry point along the perimeter of the source. The type of the value is boolean. Default is true.

Defines the key for the horizontal relative coordinate connection point of an edge with its target terminal.

"entryY"

Defines the key for the vertical relative coordinate connection point of an edge with its target terminal.

"entryPerimeter"

Defines if the perimeter should be used to find the exact entry point along the perimeter of the target. The type of the value is boolean. Default is true.

"whiteSpace"
