NodeShape Class

Represents a shape on a diagram, such as a rectangle, icon or other shape with an area (not a connector).

Remarks

NodeShape is the base class from which all other non-connector shapes derive. When you define a shape class in DSL Definition, its default base class is NodeShape, unless you explicitly set another shape class as the base.

A NodeShape is usually the graphical representation of an instance of a domain class. The domain class represents conceptual information, and the shape represents its visible appearance on the diagram. In the DSL Definition, you define a Diagram Element Map between the shape class and the domain class. At run time, you can access the domain class instance by using the property ModelElement.
