Any XML element may be named. There are two reasons why this might be desired.
Groups and profiles might be named so that DB Plot could selectively build a subset
of the profiles contained in a configuration file.
With a configuration like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="http://www.temblast.com/xsl/dbplot.xsl"?>
<dbplotconfig>
...
<group name="QA-Tests">
<profile name="Test1">
...
</profile>
<profile name="Test2">
...
</profile>
</group>
...
</dbplotconfig>
The following command would process only Test1 and Test2.
dbplot foo.dbp QA-Tests\*
Plots, panes and traces might be labeled so that they may be referred to in a stylesheet.
With a configuration like:
<plot name="Test1">
...
<pane name="Main">
...
<trace name="Sweep">
...
<\trace>
<\pane>
</plot>
The corresponding style sheet might contain:
plot.Test1 {border-style: solid; border-width: 1.5pt; border-color: black}
pane.Main {background-color: dodgerblue}
trace.Sweep {line-width: 2.5pt; line-color: blue}
