forEach (For Each)

A looping structure, similar to a for loop in a programming language, which defines what data model points will use this layout node.

[Example: Consider the following example of a forEach being used within a DrawingML diagram:

<forEach name="Name5" ref="" axis="ch" ptType="node">

   <layoutNode name="node1" styleLbl="" moveWith="">

      <alg type="sp"/>

      <shape xmlns:r="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/relationships" r:blip="">

         <adjLst/>

      </shape>

      <constrLst/>

   </layoutNode>

</forEach>

In this example, the forEach element will create a layout node, referenced by the name node1, for every associated data model point in the diagram. In this particular instance the forEach will create the layout node for every child of the current point node. end example]

Attributes

Description

axis (Axis)

Specifies the axis on which to select data from the data model.

 

[Example: For example, axis="ch" will select children of the current point node and axis="des" will select all descendants. end example]

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_AxisTypes simple type (§5.9.7.7).

cnt (Count)

Specifies the count of items to use in a data set.

 

[Example: Consider the following example of a forEach in a DrawingML diagram:

 

<forEach name="Name5" ref="" axis="ch" ptType="node" cnt="2">

 

...

 

</forEach>

 

In this example, up to two children will be obtained through this forEach. end example]

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_UnsignedInts simple type (§5.9.7.63).

hideLastTrans (Hide Last Transition)

In algorithms that support transitions, this attribute specifies that the last transition will not be rendered.  This allows for diagrams that start and end with a node.

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Booleans simple type (§5.9.7.9).

name (Name)

A unique identifier for the layout node.

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema string datatype.

ptType (Data Point Type)

Specifies the type of data point to select.

 

[Example: Consider the following example of a forEach in a DrawingML diagram:

 

<forEach name="Name5" ref="" axis="ch" ptType="node" cnt="2">

 

...

 

</forEach>

 

In this example, the forEach will select all node type points in the set. end example]

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_ElementTypes simple type (§5.9.7.26).

ref (Reference)

When used on a for-each element, causes the specified for-each element to be used instead.

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the XML Schema string datatype.

st (Start)

Specifies where to start in a data set.

 

[Example: Consider the following example of a forEach in a DrawingML diagram:

 

<presOf axis="desOrSelf" ptType="node" st="2"/>

 

In this example, the second element in the set will be the first point returned. end example]

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Ints simple type (§5.9.7.39).

step (Step)

Specifies the step to use in a data set. A step with a value of 2 will return every other item in the set.

 

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_Ints simple type (§5.9.7.39).
