NAME
yEd::PropertyBasedObject - common methods for property based yEd Objects (Nodes,Edges,Labels)
DESCRIPTION
This module is just a collection of commonly used subroutines for handling property access.
All properties can be accessed by using the property name as a funktion. Without any parameters they will act as a getter and as a setter if a value is provided. An exception will be thrown if the value is invalid. All properties will have very similar default values to yEd.
For a list of available properties for each Object have a look at the documentation for
and its subclasses.
EXAMPLE
$node->x(3.5);
$node->fillColor('#cccccc');
# which is equivalent to:
$node->setProperties('x' => 3.5, 'fillColor' => '#cccccc');
my $text = $label->text();SUBROUTINES/METHODS
setProperties
Takes arguments of the form property1 => value, property2 => value2, ... and sets the provided properties accordingly for the element in which's context this funktion is called.
Properties not provided will be left unchanged.
EXAMPLE
$node->setProperties('fillColor' => '#ffffff', 'borderColor' => 'none');getProperties
Returns a hash of the properties and their current values for the element in which's context this funktion is called.
EXAMPLE
my %properties = $node->getProperties();hasProperties
Takes arguments of the form property1 => value, property2 => value2, ....
Returns true if the element in which's context this funktion is called has all provided properties set to the provided values.
Returns false otherwise or if an invalid property is provided.
EXAMPLE
if ($node->hasProperties('fillColor' => '#ffffff', 'borderColor' => 'none')) { ...SEE ALSO
