Parameter ID

The simple type ST_ParameterId defines parameters that can be used to modify the behavior or algorithms. The modifications are as follows:

@horzAlign – specifies the horizontal alignment
@vertAlign – specifies the vertical alignment
@chDir – specifies the child direction
@chAlign – specifies the alignment of the children
@secChAlign – specifies a secondary child alignment
@linDir – specifies whether children are arranged from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top
@secLinDir – specifies a secondary linear direction in which children are
arranged from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top
@stElem – specifies the point type of the layout node to use as the first shape in the cycle
@bendPt – specifies where the bend point is to be located on connectors
@connRout – specifies whether the connector is drawn as a single straight line, orthogonal lines with a single bend, or a curve that uses the @diam constraint
@begSty – specifies whether the beginning of the connector has an arrowhead
@endSty – specifies whether the end of the connector has an arrowhead
@dim – specifies the connector dimension, 2-D, 3-D, or custom
@rotPath - if @rotPath=alongPath, the algorithm rotates all children perpendicular to the line from the cycle’s center to the child node; otherwise they are not rotated. The alongPath value does not take rotation into account when determining if shapes overlap
@ctrShpMap - None specifies to place nodes around a circle. First node (fNode) specifies to place the first node in the center and the remaining nodes around the circle
@nodeHorzAlign – specifies the horizontal node alignment
@nodeVertAlign – specifies the vertical node alignment
@fallback – specifies if the fallback occurs in a single dimension (e.g. vertically) or if it occurs in two dimensions
@txDir – specifies where the text of the first node starts
@pyraAcctPos – specifies the placement of the fly-out grandchildren
@pyraAcctTxMar – specifies the placement of one edge of the child text
@txBlDir – Specifies the text block direction, vertical or horizontal
@txAnchorHorz – Specifies the horizontal text anchor position.
@txAnchorVert – Specifies the vertical text anchor position.
@txAnchorHorzCh – Specifies the horizontal text anchor position for child text.
@txAnchorVertCh – Specifies the vertical text anchor position for child text.
@parTxLTRAlign – Specifies the paragraph alignment of parent text when the shape has only parent text. This parameter applies when the text direction is left to right.
@partTxRTLAlign – Specifies the paragraph alignment of parent text when the shape has only parent text. This parameter applies when the text direction is right to left.
@shpTxLTRAlignCh – Specifies the paragraph alignment of all text within the shape when the shape contains both parent and child text. This parameter applies when the text direction is left to right.
@shpTxRTLAlignCh – Specifies the paragraph alignment of all text within the shape when the shape contains both parent and child text. This parameter applies when the text direction is right to left.
@autoTxRot – specifies how text is oriented relative to the shape
@grDir – Specifies the direction of growth for the snake algorithm.
@flowDir – specifies weather nodes are arranged in rows or columns for the snake algorithm.
@contDir – Specifies the direction of subsequent rows or columns in the snake algorithm.
@bkpt – specifies the point at which the diagram starts to snake
@off – specifies whether each row and column is centered or offset from the previous row or column
@hierAlign – specifies the alignment of the hierarchy
@bkPtFixedVal – specifies where the @sname should break if @bkpt is set to fixed
@stBulletLvl – Specifies the level at which to start using bullets for incoming text.
@stAng – Specifies the angle at which the first shape is placed. Angles are in degrees, measured clockwise from a line pointing straight upward from the center of the cycle.
@spanAng – Specifies the angle the cycle spans. Final @shapealign text is placed at @stAng+@spanAng, unless @spanAng=360. In that case, the algorithm places the text so that shapes do not overlap
@ar – Specifies the aspect ratio (width to height) of the composite node to use when determining child constraints. A value of 0 means leave the width and height constraints as is. The algorithm may temporarily shrink one dimension to achieve that ratio
@lnSpPar – specifies the line spacing of the parent
@lnSpAfParP – specifies the line spacing after the parent paragraph
@LnSpCh specifies the line spacing of a child
@lnSpAfChP – specifies the line spacing after the child paragraph
@rtShortDist – Specifies the routing to use the shortest distance for connectors.
@alignTx – specifies if to hold text or not
@pyraLvlNode – If pyramid has a composite child node, specifies the name of the node that is a child of the composite that makes up the pyramid itself. If the node specifies a trapezoid shape, it modifies the adjustment handles to construct a pyramid.
@pyraAcctBkgdNode – If pyramid has a composite child node, specifies the child node that should hold the child text.
@pyraAcctTxNode – If pyramid has a composite child node, specifies the name of the node that is a child of the composite that makes up the child flyout shape.
@srcNode – Specifies the name of the layout node from which to start the connection.
@dstNode – Specifies the name of the layout node from which to end the connection from.
@begPts – Specifies the point type for the beginning of a connector.
@endPts – Specifies the point type for the end of a connector.
@unknown – An unkown parameter id. This can be used by implementing applications to define a parameter id outside of the scope of what is defined by this simple type.
