Hi Bob, Bob Tarling wrote: I think XSLT is best for XML to XML transformation. Where we have a requirement to call java code to fetch data values I think the simpler template languages should suffice. 3 things: No XSL?  Okay.  I admit I'm a little disappointed, because I feel compelled to prove to the world that XSL is viable and useful, but that's my own problem influencing my judgement here.  :) Does this mean that the SVG that Argo generates are not coming from the XMI?  (If they are, then that would make it XML to XML transformation…) I'm happy to stop bugging the list about XSL on this topic, but I did find a project called uml2svg on SourceForge.  A few minutes of looking it over tell me that it's well-documented, coded in a well-organized fashion, and makes a point of producing semantic-but-readable SVG output.  It looks as though it could fulfill all my needs in a thorough, clean, and highly usable way, but the "online transformation" version didn't seem to like Argo's XMI dump.  (I'm using Argo 0.26.2.)  I'm going to try it locally and see if I get better results. —Tony
