IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® uses
properties under the Format subject to determine the format used for
displaying various graphical elements.
These properties do not display on the Properties tab
of the Features window, but you can control these formatting features
using the Format window that is displayed when you select Format that
displays on the pop-up menu for graphical elements. This window lets
you set formatting options up to the project level.
In some cases, you might want to set formatting
options across multiple projects. This formatting can be done by overriding
the value of formatting properties using the site.prp file.
These formatting properties can be used.
