Note: The below code scans through all the nodes in the different diagrams and colors it red if it is not a template.


IRPApplication myApp = RhapsodyAppServer.getActiveRhapsodyApplication();
IRPProject myProj = myApp.activeProject();

Iterator myIter = myProj.getNestedElementsRecursive().toList().iterator();
while (myIter.hasNext())
{
  Object myObj = myIter.next();
  if(myObj instanceof IRPDiagram)
  {
    IRPDiagram myDiag = (IRPDiagram) myObj;
    Iterator myIter1 = myDiag.getGraphicalElements().toList().iterator();
    while(myIter1.hasNext())
    {
      Object myObj1 = myIter1.next();
      if(myObj1 instanceof IRPGraphNode)
      {
   IRPGraphNode myNode = (IRPGraphNode) myObj1;
   if(myNode.getModelObject().isATemplate() == 0)
        myNode.setGraphicalProperty("BackgroundColor", "255,0,0")
      }
    }
  }
}
