Preferences

Class Diagram

In the 'ObjectAid Class Diagram' preferences the default options for new class diagrams can be defined. The same options can also be defined in the wizard for new class diagrams and in the context menu of an existing class diagram. In general, these options are only applied to new classifiers as they are added to a diagram; exceptions are noted below.

When enabled, the class diagram option 'Save Image with Diagram as ...' saves an image whenever a diagram is saved. The type of the image can be selected (GIF, PNG or JPEG), the file name is exactly the same as the diagram except of course for the extension. If you save your diagrams with the source code, this should make it easy to integrate images into the javadoc.

Classifiers

Relationships

Relationship options refer to new classifiers that are added to a diagram:

Attributes/Operations

Attribute/operation options define a display filter for features of classifiers. When all options are turned off for either attributes or operations, the respective compartment becomes invisible.

Colors and Fonts

In Eclipse's Colors and Fonts preference page you can change all fonts that are used in diagrams, as well as the colors of diagram nodes and executions in sequence diagrams.
