15.5. Diagram

The UML standard specifies eight principle diagrams, all of which are supported by ArgoUML.

Diagrams are created using the Create drop down menu (see Section 9.6, “The Create Menu”), or with the tools on the toolbar (see Section 8.4, “Create operations”).

[Note]Note

ArgoUML uses its deployment diagram to create both UML 1.3 component and deployment diagrams.

[Caution]Caution

State and activity diagrams are associated with a particular class, and can only be created when a class has been selected.

[Warning]Warning

In version 0.14, there is no support for the UML 1.3 object diagram as a variant of the class diagram. However, it is possible to create simple object diagrams within the ArgoUML deployment diagram.

[Caution]Caution

Up until the version 0.14 the sequence diagrams were implemented incorrectly w.r.t. the UML model. For this reason it is in 0.14 no longer possible to create sequence diagrams. In an upcoming release correctly implemented sequence diagrams will be available.
