Remarks

When you define a decorator in a shape, it is represented by a ShapeField. ShapeFields are also used to represent the areas within more complex shapes such as CompartmentShapes.

A Shape Field is an object that manages an area within a shape, such as the space assigned to an image or a label. One ShapeField instance is shared between many shapes of the same class. The shape field instance does not contain the element displayed.

Frequently-used derived classes are TextFieldand ImageField.

A shape field can have subfields, represented by ShapeSubField.

For examples of the initialization of ShapeFields, inspect InitializeShapeFields() in Dsl\GeneratedCode\Shapes.cs in your DSL solution. This method is called once for each shape class. You can customize the shape fields of a shape class by overriding InitializeShapeFields().

Examples

For examples, see TextField and ImageField.
