Entity Decoration

Entity decorations include style and label settings. These options are displayed by clicking an entity on the Metadata canvas, and then clicking the Edit entity type button .

Style Settings

Entity graphic: Allows you to change the default shape or graphic for a selected entity type. Either choose an image or enter a URI in the Custom image URI box. You can choose a graphic from the Entity graphic drop-down library or from a custom SVG (.svg), PNG (.png), or JPEG (.jpg) image from an external URI.; Note: SVG images are not supported in the Relationship Analysis Client.
Custom image property: Choose an entity property that specifies an image URI. If the property is not defined for an entity, the image specified by Entity graphic is used. Images can be SVG (.svg), PNG (.png), or JPEG (.jpg) image from an external URI.
Fill color: For graphics in the Shapes category, this option specifies the interior color of the shape. This setting does not appear for other categories of graphics.
