public interface Stereotype
extends Class

A representation of the model object ' Stereotype '. A stereotype defines how an existing metaclass may be extended, and enables the use of platform or domain specific terminology or notation in place of, or in addition to, the ones used for the extended metaclass.

The following features are supported:

Method Detail

getIcons

org.eclipse.emf.common.util.EList<
Image> getIcons()
Returns the value of the ' Icon ' containment reference list. The list contents are of type Image. Stereotype can change the graphical appearance of the extended model element by using attached icons. When this association is not null, it references the location of the icon content to be displayed within diagrams presenting the extended model elements.

Returns:
the value of the 'Icon' containment reference list.
See Also:
UMLPackage.getStereotype_Icon()

createIcon


Image createIcon()
Creates a new Image and appends it to the ' Icon ' containment reference list.

Returns:
The new Image.
