The PresentationHelpers type exposes the following members.

Methods

	Name	Description
	CreateIDiagram	Wrap a diagram from the underlying implementation so that it can be used as a UML modeling diagram. This method does not construct or modify a diagram, but instead provides a convenient reference to an existing diagram.
	CreateIShape	Wrap a ShapeElement from the underlying implementation so that it can be used as a UML modeling IShape. This does not construct or modify a shape. Instead, it provides a convenient reference to an existing shape, or a field within a shape.
	Diagrams	All the open diagrams in the model, of a particular type if specified.
	GetChildShapes<T>	Get child shapes that display the specified type of model element.
	GetElement	The UML model element displayed by this ShapeElement.
	GetSelectedShapes<T>	Get all the selected shapes that display UML model elements of the specified type.
	IsSameDiagram	Verify whether two UML diagram references refer to the same diagram. Use this instead of ==.
	SelectShapes	Select a collection of shapes on the diagram. The shapes must be selectable. The diagram's SelectedShapes property will be updated.
	Shapes(IElement, IDiagram)	All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram.
	Shapes<T>(T, IDiagram)	All the shapes that display the model element on any open diagram, or on a specified open diagram. Returns a list of shapes of the specified type.
