Diagrams Elements Visibility - enterprise-architect

I would like to set visibility properties for all diagram elements in model (manually, not programmaticaly);
display diagram elements' notes
hide the elements type- make the type text invisible.
I tried to set the notes visible it via diagram properties- checked the Notes checkbox, but nothing happens:
Is it possible to set such properties for all diagrams at once? how?

See p. 62 of my Inside book. You need to modify t_diagram.StyleEx. It holds an attribute ShowNotes=<v>; where <v> is 0 or 1.
Re. your question about element type I still don't know what you mean. Can you post a picture?

Set backend title for Mask-Elements in Typo3

I have a Typo3 server. On that I created some different content elements with mask.
In this elements there are often repeating content, like texts or other stuff.
So the editors make a new element in the backend, there they can add a headline and as much text parts as they want.
Often it looks like this:
Thats good, the editor can see a "preview" of the textparts. In this example "Karriere,Partner...". This naming happens automatically.
My Problem is, some times there arent any titles. Its always "No title". As an editor its quite hard to find the right dropdown to edit some stuff, you mostly have to open all dropdowns and search for the right one.
Its look then like this:
In both elements there are some string inputs that are very good for the title.
So my question is, how is mask gonna choose the title? Its not the first string input.
And secondly, can I tell Mask that they have to choose input field XYZ as title?
Heyo
Yes, you can tell Mask which field to use as a title for inline elements (like repeating contents). When you're setting up a new Mask element, right below the "Label" field of the repeated inline element, there is a field "Field that should be used as label for inline element (starting with tx_mask_)". This will be used as the title that is displayed in the backend. In the placeholder of that field, it explicitly says that "If empty, first field is used".
So, if your inline element has a field "my_awesome_header" which you would like to use as the title in the backend, set the above to "tx_mask_my_awesome_header".
I am not certain as to why it does not display anything in your second example. It might be that either the first input field is not a string, or the first input field is a string but it is empty.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Edit: Since that question came up, it should be possible to set a static default title to the containing Mask element using mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.[name of the mask element].tt_content_defValues.header = My awesome static title. As I said in the comments, though: I always give my Mask elements a header field and let editors fill that in.

Modify an ag-grid row after rendering

I need to slightly modify a ag-grid row after it has been rendered. In ag-grid, the actual HTML elements are not necessarily persistent, so manually-set styles may fall off.
For one thing, I have to modify the selection checkbox to set its tabindex to -1. This can technically be done in the cellRenderer callback, although it looks quite hacky. (The checkbox can be found at params.eGridCell.children[0].children[0].wrappedElement.)
But I also have to add a CSS class to some rows to highlight them based on external criteria. I haven't found a way to do this at all.
The best solution would seem to be using some sort of after-rendering callback, but to my knowledge no such thing exists.
I found a couple of related questions, but they were both resolved via cellStyle, which would not suffice here:
Row formatting in ag-Grid
How to provide a background color for an entire row in ag grid based on a certain value in a column?
You have not 1 but 3 options:
getRowClass(params):
Callback version of property 'rowClass'. Function should return a string or an array of strings.
getRowStyle(params):
Callback version of property 'rowStyle'. Function should return an object of CSS values.
processRowPostCreate(params):
Allows you to process rows after they are created. So do final adding of custom attributes etc.
In this last one you have the row in params.eRow.

Is it possible to capture checkbox selection(crossmark like X) on flatten pdf

I had an editable pdf with checkbox, after selection i flatten that pdf. from that flatten pdf i need to read the checkbox selection which is looks like crossmark(X), is there any possibility to read that checkbox selection.
When you flatten a PDF, you take away all interactivity. If you have a check box field in an interactive form, and you flatten that form, the check box field is gone. That is the concept of flattening.
What happens in practice?
A check box field has two appearances. One appearance is Off. This appearance can be a path such as a simple square defined as a rectangle. Another appearance can have any name On, Yes, 1 or whatever is defined in the original form. The corresponding appearance can be the same square as the Off appearance with two extra lines that look like a cross, or the square with a character that looks like a check mark, or whatever was defined in the original form.
When you flatten the form, you throw away the name of the check box field, you throw away the widget annotation that corresponds with the field, and you throw away one appearance state (depending on the value of the check box field). The only thing that is left, is one of the two appearances.
If you no longer have the original form, you have no clue as to what this appearance could look like, hence you have no idea what to look for, nor where to look for a specific appearance.
You say that the appearance looks like a cross mark in your case, but whoever reads this question has no idea if this cross mark is a path that was constructed in graphics state, or a glyph that was added in text state.
Long story short: if you flatten first and then expect to be able to read a field value, your design is seriously flawed.
You have to ask yourself: why do I need to flatten the form? Maybe it's sufficient to make the fields read-only. If that's not sufficient, why don't you add an attachment to the PDF that contains the original field values? There are many different ways to work around your problem.

How to hide the label of a diagram link in Enterprise Architect using Add-in?

In Enterprise Architect, user can hide/show the labels of links (connectors) on a diagram. Concerning extension (add-in) development for EA, is there a function that calling it can set the visibility of a label on the diagram(s)?
Or in another more general word, how is it possible to retrieve the list of the labels of a connector programmatically?
You need to manipulate the diagramLinks.Geometry property. When you have a label this string will contain something like
LMT=CX=6:CY=13:OX=42:OY=9:HDN=0:BLD=0:ITA=0:UND=0:CLR=-1:ALN=0:DIR=0:ROT=0;
LMT is the part for the middle label which contains the name. LMB is for the stereotype and other L-attributes are for roles and cardinality.
Now you need to change HDN=0 to HDN=1 to make the label invisible.

d3 bar chart selectAll before appending

I've been learning more about the d3 visualization library, and I've seen a few examples of bar charts that have a snippet that looks like
chart.selectAll("rect")
.data(data)
.enter().append("rect")
.attr("y", y)
.attr("width", x)
.attr("height", y.rangeBand());
My confusion is with the first selectAll line. What is the purpose of selecting all rects before they exist since we'll be appending new rects on data enter? Does what goes in the selectAll matter if none of those elements exist?
It is part of the declarative nature of the D3 language. The Thinking with Joins article explains it in detail. An excerpt:
But what’s with the selectAll("circle")? Why do you have to select
elements that don’t exist in order to create new ones? WAT.
Here’s the deal: instead of telling D3 how to do something, tell D3
what you want. In this case, you want the circle elements to
correspond to data: you want one circle per datum. Instead of
instructing D3 to create circles, then, tell D3 that the selection
"circle" should correspond to data—and describe how to get there. This
concept is called the data-join:
This Venn diagram illustrates the data-join. Data bound to existing
elements produce the update (inner) selection. Unbound data produce
the enter selection (left), and unbound elements produce the exit
selection (right). Data Enter Update Elements Exit Thinking with joins
reveals the mystery behind the sequence:
The selectAll("circle") returns the empty selection, since the SVG
container element (svg) is empty. No magic here.
The empty selection is joined to data: data(data). The data method
binds data to elements, producing three virtual selections: enter,
update and exit. The enter selection contains placeholders for any
missing elements. The update selection contains existing elements,
bound to data. Any remaining elements end up in the exit selection for
removal.
Since the selection was empty, all data ends up as placeholder nodes
in enter().
This is the same append as in the first example, but applied to
multiple placeholders; selection methods implicitly iterate over
selected elements. The missing elements are added to the SVG container
by append("circle").
So that’s it. You wanted the selection "circle" to correspond to data,
and you described how to create the missing elements.
In your example selectAll("rect") is called first. But it returns an empty selection.
data(data) will bind the empty selection with the data. It creates new empty selections.
.enter() identifies any DOM elements that needs to be added when the joined array is longer than the selection.
append("rect") appends a rectangle to each empty selection, which is no longer empty
It is well explained and detailed on this section: D3.js data binding, How it works?
