 **Decision   diamond        azure3
 **Function   parallelogram  azure3
 **DataSource rect           khaki1
 **Person     box            chartreuse1
 **Department ellipse        chartreuse1

• Definition of PageTypes on the next lines:
  • PageType defines the Pagetypes being used in this Diagram, for Example "Person", "Function", "Event", "Decision" etc.
  • Shape defines the Shape that is being used. The Definition of the shape is taken from the GraphViz Documentation at [[1]]. Please be aware that not all shapes are supported/working.

  • Color_of_Font defines that color of the font that is used for writing the name of the process-step into the shape. If not given, it defaults to black. The same table of colors applies as before.
