In the template edit mode the contents of a template can be modified. It is divided in five tabs which will be described in the following table.
GENERAL |
In the GENERAL tab the fields for the name and the component are deactivated. To rename a template you could use the rename button in the templates list. The corresponding graphomate component can not be changed, because the property set in a template can be only applied to the same component which was a well used to create the template. The field for the tags can be filled with a list of tags which are separated by comma. The description and the author are free text fields. In the Created and Changed Fields nothing can be changed, because the Changed timestamp will be updated automatically once the template is saved. |
* PROPERTIES |
The PROPERTIES themselves are divided in five categories which are explainend below. |
Boolean Properties |
The boolean properties are simple true / false switches. If the slider appears blue and is moved to the right the property is activated. The grey slider on the left indicates a deactivated property. To toggle a change click on the slider or the name of the property. |
Number Properties |
All properties that represent numbers can be adjusted in this section. |
String Properties |
The string properties can be changed here. With string properties there is a exeption, some of them only work with a specified set of choices. There is no mechnism that stops you from entering invalid values. This could result in unwanted behavior when a the template is applied to a graphomate component. Please refer to the manual of the specific component. |
Color Properties |
Color properties can be changed by using the color picker which opens on click on the choosen property. |
Extended Properties |
The properties which are more complicated and hence are saved as JSON can be edited by clicking on the EDIT button of the specific property. A dialog opens containing the sub-properties. Clicking OK will not save the changes. It is necessary to click the SAVE button after the dialog is closed by clicking OK. |
* JSON |
The JSON representation of the properties can be changed manually. This is necessary if you want to add new items to a JSON array for example. |
