Your graphic
application
Note: Display and print facets must be contained in the graphic inset file. They cannot be remote facets.
To write a remote facet, your graphic application must write an application data file and store its data type and
pathname in the graphic inset file. A remote application-specific facet has the following format:
=
&
&
=EndInset
For example, the following lines describe the remote facet described in the application data file
/diagrams/BlockDiagram
=application_name.facet
&%v
&/diagrams/BlockDiagram
=EndInset
