Rendering views basics

There are two ways a rendering usage can be specified for a view:

by referencing the rendering usage defined elsewhere in the model.
- The element symbol is displayed with the render keyword (unnamed element) or the rendering keyword (named element).
- See the procedures:
  - Rendering views by referencing renderings defined elsewhere in the model:
    - Rendering views via the Textual Editor

by containing an owned rendering usage, i.e., the view renderer is the owned rendering usage itself.
- The element symbol is displayed with the rendering keyword.
- See the procedures:
  - Rendering views via the owned rendering usage itself as the renderer:
    - Rendering views via the Textual Editor

Rendering views by referencing renderings defined elsewhere in the model

Rendering views via the Textual Editor

To render views via the Textual Editor

In the body of a view for which you want to reference a rendering, declare one of the following:
1. For an unnamed rendering, declare the render keyword, then follow with the name of the rendering you want to reference.
2. For a named rendering, declare the rendering keyword, name the new usage, and then reference subset the rendering you want to reference.

view vehicleModel {
render asTreeDiagram; // unnamed rendering
rendering asNewTreeDiagram ::> asTreeDiagram; // named rendering
}

Rendering views via the owned rendering usage itself as the renderer

Rendering views via the Textual Editor

To render views via the Textual Editor

In the Textual Editor, place the cursor within the curly braces of the view's body, declare the rendering keyword, specify the element name, and then the rendering's body.
Click the Synchronize button.

view vehicleModel {
rendering asCustomTreeDiagram : GraphicalRendering; // // new view-owned rendering usage
}
