Element Type
The simple type ST_ElementType defines the type of element, or point which get created and how they are created from the data at hand. The different ways to pull from the data to create points are as follows:
@all– use all of the data points, nodes and transitions@doc– use the document level, or root data point@node– use only data nodes input by the user@norm– in place for extensibility and behaves exactly opposite of the asst element type@nonNorm– in place for extensibility and behaves exactly opposite of the@nonAsstelement type@asst– use assistant data nodes within hierarchy algorithm@nonAsst– use non-assistant nodes within the hierarchy algorithm@parTrans– Use only parent transitions between nodes. Parent transitions are similar to sibling transitions, except that they represent parent/child relationships. Parent transitions are most commonly used in hierarchy diagrams, such as organization charts, to draw lines between parent and child nodes.@pres– specifies that the node is related to the presentation level@sibTrans– Use only sibling transitions between data nodes. These transitions represent sibling relationships between nodes, and are frequently mapped to arrows between shapes in the drawing. A@sibTransvalue is sometimes used to create white space between nodes.
