Adding a Zoom to a Diagram Type
A DiagramTypeZoom enables a MetaClass to be described by a diagram type.
If you want a given diagram type to describe a new MetaClass, you must:
• connect to the diagram type a new DiagramTypeZoom
• connect the desired MetaClass to the DiagramTypeZoom
• connect to the DiagramType the MetaAssociationEnd "Described <MetaClass>" ("Description.<MetaClass>")
To add a zoom to a diagram type:
1. In the MetaStudio navigation window, right-click the diagram type and select New > DiagramTypeZoom.
2. Enter the name of the DiagramTypeZoom and click OK.
3. Right-click the DiagramTypeZoom and select Properties.
4. Display the empty collections and right-click MetaClass > Connect.
5. Connect the desired MetaClass.
6. In the MetaStudio navigation window, right-click the diagram type and select Connect > MetaAssociationEnd.
7. Connect the "Described <MetaClass>" MetaAssociation. Connect the desired <MetaClass> using the query tool.
The new MetaClass can now be described by the diagram type concerned.
