<P5:Attributes> Element

The <p5:Attributes> element is a child element of the <p5:MetaInfo> element. It is used to describe user-defined attributes that contain various information on topobase shapes. An element that describes a user-defined element, must be named <p5:Attribute>. This element is a child element of <p5:Attributes> and has the following mandatory attributes: Name and Type. <p5:Attribute> has a child element <p5:Data>, which attributes contain actual attribute values, related to a specific shape.

The following attributes are used to create topobases:

The <p5:Attributes> attribute and all its child attributes are optional. If any of the attributes is missing, when converting values, its value can be skipped, default value can be used, or the value can be generated automatically.
