The default can be set using \verb=\colorlet{defaultbackgroundcolour}{new default colour}= after loading the package. \subsection{Tasks \& sub-processes} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{cX} \toprule Symbol & code\\ \midrule \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline] \node [task] {A};

Naturally, a label can be used on any node. To connect associations to a label, use the style \texttt{name=}. \noindent\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{cX} \toprule Symbol & code\\ \midrule \boundary{timer boundary event}\\ \boundary{message boundary event}\\ \boundary{signal boundary event}\\ \boundary{compensation boundary event}\\ \boundary{error boundary event}\\ \boundary{timer noninterrupting boundary event}\\ \boundary{message noninterrupting boundary event}\\ \boundary{signal noninterrupting boundary event}\\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} All boundary events use fill to draw over the border of the parent node, and accept an argument for the fill colour. The default fill colour can be changed using \verb=\colorlet{defaultbackgroundcolour}{new default colour}= after loading the package. \subsection{Data} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{cX} \toprule Symbol & code\\ \midrule \event{data object}\\ \event{data collection}\\ \event{data store}\\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \subsection{Resources} \begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{cX} \toprule Symbol & code\\ \midrule \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline] \node [pool] {\phantom{ABCDEF}\strut}; \end{tikzpicture} & \texttt{\textbackslash{}node [pool] \{\};} \newline use in combination with the \verb=fit= key \\ \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline] \node [pool label=A] {\phantom{ABCDEF}\strut}; \end{tikzpicture} & \texttt{\textbackslash{}node [pool label=A] \{\};} \newline use in combination with the \verb=fit= key \\ \bottomrule \end{tabularx} \end{document}
