Generation of an attribute

The description of an attribute is used during the generation of a class, an interface, a use case or of an actor. It contains:

· syntax

· tagged values

· "description" notes

The syntax of an attribute allows the generation of:

· the visibility (public, protected, private)

· the "class" keyword if the operation is "class"

· the "const", "unsigned", "short" keywords according to the tagged values that annotate the attribute

· the size if the attribute is a set

· the name of the class that types the attribute (if the class is a class modeled in Objecteering, a hypertext link towards the file which describes this class is inserted)

· the attribute name

· the default value
