Editing Properties

Each model element of the ADORA language can have additional element properties which are not necessarily shown in the model directly. This kind of properties can be edited by the help of the property dialog as it is shown for example in Fig. 1. In the property dialog you'll find several properties. On the left hand side of each property element, you find the name of the property which denotes its meaning. On the right hand side, you find the currently set value of the property. There are properties which are read only, i.e. which cannot be modified over the property dialogue (e.g. Height, Width, X, Y).

The properties are additional information of the currently selected elements in the model.

Fig. 1: The properties view shows additional elements of model elements for editing.

Editing Properties

You edit a property value by simply clicking on it. The corresponding value is then shown in an editor field in the case it is a string or a numeric value. If  the property consists of  a boolean value or a set of values to choose from, the values can be chosen from a drop down menu.

A detailed overview about the properties of the ADORA model elements can be found in the detailed languages concept description.
