Hope everyone have a happy new year! This is the first patch of the year 2015 and
it is focused on drawing sequence diagram.
Personally, I think sequence diagram is the best UML notation to illustrate
communication between multiple systems.
In the past, I haven’t found a tool that could create them with
ease. Well with the additional components
added to this patch the search is over.
Here are what's added
- Ability to change sequence diagram head with any of the vector object from library
- Add sequence activation and improve sequence connector
- Add sequence frame
Changing Sequence Head and Drawing Sequence Activation
You can change the sequence head by dragging any vector
shape from the library over the existing sequence head. To draw sequence activation, you need to draw
a thin box along the sequence timeline.
The connector will automatically adjust itself when the activation is
detected. You can change the activation
property such as coloring and deleting with the normal gesture command.
These will be explained by the following slide:
Drawing Sequence Frame
You can draw a sequence frame by drawing a box around the
whole sequence or drawing a box that span more than one sequence timeline. Sequence Frame behaves like a boundary
box.
