Viewpoint Guidelines

To avoid performance issues, some guidelines must be followed.

Diagram extensions

Semantic Candidate Expression

This expression called at each diagram refresh should be the most efficient possible. It can be computed based on the displayed graphical elements using the variable *diagram*. When 'Import Mapping' are used, please ensure that semantic candidate expression has been updated accordingly to the semantic candidate expression of the imported mapping

Create Generic Viewpoints

Create Generic Viewpoints using:

• Sirius capability to extends several diagrams at one time with regular expressions extensions
• Diagram Styles Customization Feature allowing to customize the style of elements based on expression. (for instance, on all "Functions called 'Deprecated'", set color as gray)

Avoid EObject.eResource calls

On EObject, you have to avoid as much as possible calls to eObject.eResource()

Contribute an ID handler

If your metamodel elements doesn't inherit from org.polarsys.capella.common.data.modellingcore.ModelElement, you have to contribute an Id handler via the extension point "org.polarsys.capella.shared.id.handler.IdHandler" You can simply extend the org.polarsys.capella.shared.id.handler.AbstractIdHandler.
