This is another strong styling recommendation from Dr Darren that is often completely ignored anyway.

In our workshop courses, one of the first actions is to load a starting style file into the MagicDraw® UML (aka Magic Software Architect) or Magic Cyber-Systems Engineer ® (Cameo Systems Modeler®) tools that has no colours other than black and white and no shadows or colour gradient fill on symbols.

HINT: patent applications only accept drawings with simple lines in black and white.

[DISPLAY, STYLE]{OPTION} In SysML diagrams, showing the context name and type in the diagram frame can lead to clutter and is not always clear to non-SysML stakeholders (although that is the style used in the specification samples)
