Report Wizard can automatically import a Template Tool to a template without having to declare the #import statement in a template code manually (see Importing Custom Tool to Template).
To enable Report Wizard to automatically import a Template Tool, you have to use the existing template variable inside “template.xml” and “report.xml”.
The current template variable syntax:
Code Block |
---|
<variable>
<name>Variable Name</name>
<description>Variable Description</description>
<type/>
<value xml:space="preserve">Variable Value</value>
</variable> |
Add "com.nomagic.magicreport.engine.Tool" to a type value where the name is a variable name and the value is a full-qualified template tool class, for example:
To automatically import TextTool
...
- Edit the built-in.xml file in the ...\data\reports\Tutorial 24 - Text Tool\reports.
- Add a variable as shown in the following example.
Code Block |
---|
<variable>
<name>text</name>
<description>A text tool</description>
<type>com.nomagic.magicreport.engine.Tool</type>
<value xml:space="preserve">com.nomagic.reportwizard.tools.TextTool</value>
</variable> |
The result is a template code that can access com.nomagic.reportwizard.tools.TextTool from $text.
$text.noLineBreak($diagram.name) |
Warning |
---|
Once you have edited a template variable, you have to restart MagicDraw prior to generating a report through MagicDraw. |
