The Symbol Editor is a special kind of drawing tool for
creating or modifying the graphical symbol of an object, role or relationship
type as displayed in the Diagram and Matrix Editors. The symbols
are
made out of a variety of shapes, colors, and text fields. The values of
properties and the output of generators can also be shown in text fields, whose
font and layout can be changed. Each shape can have a condition attached to it,
which determines whether it is drawn, depending on the value of a property or
the output of a generator. Object and relationship symbols can define
connectable areas that determine how and where role lines are attached to them.
In addition to these, the Symbol Editor allows the user to store and to retrieve
symbols from the symbol library in the current default
project.
