I would suggest that you use stereotypes rather than colour to give
special meaning to an actor.
Creating buttons that will automatically assign a stereotype to the
model element it creates is something I've long wanted to do should I
not be as pressed as I am with so many other tasks.
To achieve this for a hard-coded stereotype of your choice you could
extend CmdCreateNode to your own custom code.
The following is an idea just typed by hand so you will need to tweak
to get to work.
public class ActionCreateStereotypedNode extends CmdCreateNode {
private final Object stereotype;
public ActionCreateStereotypedNode(Object nodeType, Object
stereotype, String name) {
super(nodeType, name);
this.sterotype = stereotype;
}
public Object makeNode() {
Object actor = super.makeNode();
Model.getExtensionMechanismsHelper().addCopyStereotype(actor,
myStereotype);
return actor;
}
}
With this you can have a stereotype of you choice set in the model element.
If you really want colour then you could get your Fig to change colour
according to stereotype.
Bob.
