Overview of the editing pane

This is where all the diagrams are drawn. In earlier versions of ArgoUML this pane went under a variety of names. You may encounter “drawing pane”, “diagram pane” or “multi-editor pane” in other documentation that is still being updated.

The pane has a tool bar at the top, and a single tab labeled As Diagram at the bottom. So long as your window is big enough, you will see the name of the diagram in the top right corner at the end of the tool bar.
