Hi,
I'm working on a few scripts to generate documentation from Archi models. Just recently looking into Canvas features, I fail to find the usual name and documentation main properties in the UI for canvas-model-block and canvas-model-sticky (though the name can be set and read via scripting), so looking for a way to read the somewhat strange "content" and "notes" properties. Are there undocumented features that I could use for now? Or else I guess a feature request is called for... (while waiting for similar image support for specialization of the archimate symbols).
Here's a snippet of my test code:
/***
else if (o.type == "canvas-model") { //
console.log(o.type + "\t" + o.name + "\t" + o.id);
var viewItems = $(o).find();
viewItems.each(function(item) {
if ($(item).is("canvas-model-image") )
console.log(item.type + "\t" + item.name + "\t" + item.documentation + "\t" + item.id); // works for documentation (and for name after been set via scripting)
else if ($(item).is("canvas-model-block") )
console.log(item.type + "\t" + item.name + "\t" + item.documentation + "\t" + item.id); //name can be set and read via scripting, not documentation; how to read "content"
else if ($(item).is("canvas-model-sticky") )
console.log(item.type + "\t" + item.name + "\t" + item.documentation + "\t" + item.id); //name can be set and read via scripting, not documentation; how to read "content"
else if ($(item).is("canvas-model-connection") )
console.log(item.type + "\t" + item.name + "\t" + item.id); // works
});

Hi Erik,
Canvas objects have not been fully implemented in jArchi yet. This includes content, notes, image, position, hints, creation. It's on the (massive) to do list.

Of course, I understand. Looking forward to it - but as mentioned would actually prefer to see these features integrated into the archimate diagrams:)
