Attributes

Description

arg (Argument)

Specifies the variable to use as part of the test in an if element.  Ignored unless the function attribute is set to "var".

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_FunctionArgument simple type (§5.9.7.29).

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).

func (Function)

The function used to evaluate the if condition.

[Example: Consider the following example of func being used in DrawingML:

<if name="Name2" func="var" arg="dir" op="equ" val="norm">

...

</if>

In this example, func is set to var. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_FunctionType simple type (§5.9.7.31).

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 function used to evaluate the if condition.

[Example: Consider the following example of name being used in DrawingML:

<if name="Name2" func="var" arg="dir" op="equ" val="norm">

...

</if>

In this example, the name attribute is set to Name2. end example]

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

op (Operator)

The operator used to evaluate the condition.

[Example: Consider the following example of op being used in DrawingML:

<if name="Name2" func="var" arg="dir" op="equ" val="norm">

...

</if>

In this example, op is being used to test the equality of the argument and value. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_FunctionOperator simple type (§5.9.7.30).

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).

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).

val (Value)

An absolute value.

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_FunctionValue simple type (§5.9.7.32).
