This use case shows you how to change the color of business objects that belong to a predefined business class. It applies to the tree, network, and equipment graphic components.

How to Extend a Predefined Business Class

<class>
  <name>myNetworkElement</name>
    <superClass>ilog.tgo.model.IltNetworkElement</superClass>
    <attribute>
      <name>siteName</name> <javaClass>java.lang.String</javaClass>
    </attribute>
    <attribute>
       <name>customerName</name>  <javaClass>java.lang.String</javaClass>
    </attribute>
</class>

How to Use Literal Values for Customizing Colors

object.myNetworkElement {
    foreground: '#FF0000';
}

In this example, the foreground color of the icon representing business objects of the class myNetworkElement is set to red.

How to Customize the Icon Color Based on Specific Attribute Values

object.myNetworkElement[type=NE] {
       foreground:'#FFFFFF';
}
object.myNetworkElement[type=MD] {
       foreground:'#C0C0C0';
}
object.myNetworkElement[type=Server] {
       foreground:'#FFCC00';
}
object.myNetworkElement[type=BSC] {
       foreground:'#FFB200';
}
object.myNetworkElement[type=Desktop] {
       foreground:'#FF0000';
}

In this example, the foreground color of the icon representing business objects of the class myNetworkElement is set to depend on the value of the attribute type defined in the class IltNetworkElement. So myNetworkElement with the type NE will have a white foreground.
