JScript does not support generic types or methods.

Type Parameters

T
The argument type of the IShape<T> to be returned. Can usually be implicit.

Parameters

element
Type: T
The element to be displayed.

parent
Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Presentation.IShape
The shape within which the new shape is to be located, or null to place it on the diagram. Use this to place the shape inside a package shape.

xoffset
Type: System.Double
The location of the new shape relative to the diagram.

yoffset
Type: System.Double
The location of the new shape relative to the diagram.

Return Value

Type: Microsoft.VisualStudio.ArchitectureTools.Extensibility.Presentation.IShape<T>
An IShape<T> representing the new shape.

Remarks

You cannot explicitly display relationships. A relationship appears on a diagram automatically whenever both of its ends appear.
