Domain files

 

Each domain has a set of appropriate node and arc types, and node and arc attributes. These aspects are expressed in a set of files.

These files are stored in a subdirectory, of the same name as the domain, within a directory pointed to by the configuration parameter RIGIINIT.

These files are:

• Riginode, which declares the names of node types on each line:
  nodeType [iconImage]

  Tip: One useful convention is to capitalize node type names.

• Rigiarc, which declares the names of arc types on each line:
  arcType
• Rigiattr, which declares the names of node and arc attributes on each line:
  attr Node nodeAttribute
  attr Arc arcAttribute
• Rigicolor, which determines node and arc colors (it is simplest to configure these colors within rigiedit);
• Rigircl, a Tcl script to run when switching to the domain.
