Go and vote for the bug.
I'm not sure it makes any difference but it can't hurt.

Hi,

If you only need the header notation, you can use a CSS rule:

CompositeStructureDiagram > Class {
	displayHeader: true;
	textAlignment: left;
}

CompositeStructureDiagram > Class > Compartment{
	displayBorder: false;
}

However, if you need specific extra-information in this header, then this currently can't be done in Papyrus (Although native GMF may provide enough flexibility to achieve that - I'm not sure)

Regards,
Camille

Hi,

Papyrus Diagrams do not rely on Eclipse's CSS configuration; they use their own

See https://wiki.eclipse.org/MDT/Papyrus/UserGuide/CSS

In theory one can edit Papyrus Sysml css Stylesheet rename them and use it as a personal theme...
it can't be so difficult...
but i can't find where these themes are stored: index.php/fa/23996/0/

It's even a lot complexer than that. For instance, have a look at page 225 (Figure D.15 and D.16) of the SysML 1.4 specification.
In figure D.16, the frame of the diagram represents a block (AutomotiveDomain), but the contents of the BDD don't "match" with any compartment of a Block, so it's currently impossible to mimic this kind of behaviour using css in Papyrus.

So the example you gave above only works well in the specific case that the diagram content of a specific diagram is currently captured by a specific compartment in Papyrus (composite structure, activity diagram, package diagram, block diagram owned by a Package, ...), but definitly not for all cases (BDD owned by a block, requirement diagram owned by a requirement, ...).

Hi,

In this case, I guess it's the responsibility of the Viewpoint & Expansion customizations, but I know they are still limited today. Hopefully, since the SysML 1.4 implementation is used to highlight the limitations of these frameworks (And improve them), we should get the required capabilities in Neon.

I think that what we lack today to get this complete support is the ability to customize text/labels in Diagrams (And maybe partial styling as well to get parts of this label in bold)

The Viewpoint mechanism should be able to allow defining BDDiagrams inside Blocks, just like it already allows drawing a ClassDiagram inside a Class (Although with limitations/bugs)

Hello,

I've recently downloaded Papyrus 1.1.3 and started modeling a few diagrams.

I've got also an issue dealing with the SysML diagram frame.
I know it can be done as I can see one of a Sequence Diagram, attached, (and did nothing special for getting it), but no way on a BDD, UC or requirements...
index.php/fa/25064/0/<br />

As a workaround I couldn't copy/paste the frame so it's frustrating a lot...

Does anybody succeeded to get frames, even running a script, importing or whatever means ??
Having a SysML compliant tool without this feature is just disappointing

I'm not sure what's not clear from the discussion above?

Hi,
as I understand it, it's still not possible to include headers in diagrams especially for use case and stakeholde diagrams in Papyrus?

Right?

Greetings
Paul
