com.nomagic.magicdraw.uml.symbols.DisplayRelatedSymbols

@OpenApiAll
public class DisplayRelatedSymbols
extends Object

Provides API to the display related symbols functionality.

MagicDraw allows displaying symbols that are related to a given symbol via relationships. The DisplayRelatedSymbols class provides API methods for this. Using this class you can control any of the following behaviors for displaying related symbols logic:

• What relationship types should be included.
• Depth of a relationship tree.
• Whether or not existing symbols should be reused.

  Example: Displaying related generalizations and interface realizations

   SessionManager sessionManager = SessionManager.getInstance();
   sessionManager.createSession("Display related");
  
   Set linkTypes = new HashSet();
   linkTypes.add(new LinkType(Generalization.class));
   linkTypes.add(new LinkType(InterfaceRealization.class));
  
   DisplayRelatedSymbolsInfo info = new DisplayRelatedSymbolsInfo(linkTypes);
   info.setDepthLimited(true);
   info.setDepthLimit(3);
  
   PresentationElement view = ...; // A symbol for which you need to invoke the displaying related symbols action.
  
   DisplayRelatedSymbols.displayRelatedSymbols(view, info);
  
   //For multiple symbol selection to display related symbols use the code below
   List<PresentationElement> viewList = ...; //List of symbols for which you need to invoke the displaying related symbols action.
  
   DisplayRelatedSymbols.displayRelatedSymbols(viewList, info);
  
   sessionManager.closeSession();
