Att ArrowProperties

New to Analytica 6.0

Attribute Att_ArrowProperties

This attribute is used in objects of class ArrowClass to encode special visual properties of an arrow. It is similar to the attribute NodeInfo for nodes in that it consists of a sequence of comma-separated values. When a field is left unspecified, the value in inherited from Att_ArrowProperties.

Fields

The fields are as follows:

1. curved: 1=Curved, 0=segmented.
2. tension: (unused)
3. thickness: Positive number, usually from 1 to 7.
4. doubleLine: 1=Double line, 0=single line
5. dashStyle:
   • 0 = solid (default)
   • 1 = dash
   • 2 = dot
   • 3 = dash dot
   • 4 = dash dot dot
6. tailCap
   • 16=none (default)
   • 17=square
   • 18=round
   • 19=diamond
   • 20=arrow
7. headCap
   • 16=none
   • 17=square
   • 18=round
   • 19=diamond
   • 20=arrow (default)
8. displayDashStyle (new to Analytica 6.3)
   • 0 = solid
   • 1 = dash (default)
   • 2 = dot
   • 3 = dash dot
   • 4 = dash dot dot
9. sticky (new to Analytica 6.3)
   • 0 = (default) Arrow is removed when definition changes and there is no real dependency.
   • 1 = A drawn arrow remains even when there is no true dependency.

The displayDashStyle is used for drawn arrows that have no real dependency, but only when the dashStyle is not explicitly set. The main use case for this one is to change the model-wide default by changing it on the ArrowClass object if you don't like the default of showing these arrows as dashed, for example to restore the default prior to Analytica 6.3 of showing display arrows the same as real arrows.
