Displaying text in attribute symbols

An attribute has the following display preferences:

Preference

Show visibility

Show datatype

Show initial value

Description

Displays the attribute as an icon, with markers, or using keywords

When selected, displays the datatype of the attribute in the attribute symbol

When selected, displays the initial value of the attribute in the attribute symbol

The visibility of an attribute in a class or an interface can be displayed in one of the following ways:

Visibility

Icon

Markers

Keywords

When selected

Displays the attribute as an icon

Displays the visibility of the attribute as a marker: - (private), # (protected), + (public), or * (package)

Displays the visibility of the attribute as a word: private, protected, public, or package

You modify the display preferences for an attribute in the Display

Preferences dialog box.

ϖTo modify the display preferences:
