  • Description
  • Direction
  • Dependency Criteria
  • Show Elements
  • Column Element Type
  • Row Element Type


To restore the default predefined matrix settings

 Description area

The matrix descriptions in the Description area comes from two different locations: tag value or stereotype.

If the tag value is set, the matrix description is the information from tag value. If the tag value is not set, the description come from the matrix stereotype. The information in the matrix stereotype is always more recent.

If you want to see more recent matrix description (which may change with a new modeling tool/plugin release), clear the tag value. For more informaton about editing tagged values, see Editing tagged value.
