I'm trying to replicate a hand-drawn Sequence Diagram from my OOAD instructor for my first Sequence Diagram. I've come across these questions, and hope someone can offer some advice:
1. I'm creating the Sequence Diagram initially, without creating a corresponding Class Diagram previously. I note that when I create and name a new classifier role, if I give it the name "Mustang:Car" with ObjectName:ClassName, it adds a final colon and doesn't underline it as an object name. How can I add both of these aspects? How can I create anonymous objects of a Class, with an initial colon? 2. Is it possible to create a reflexive action, where an object calls a method within itself? How? 3. My instructor shows a 'create' action as '<create>' with guillemots, like a stereotype. Is this possible? I couldn't even find the left and right guillemots characters in the GNOME Character Map accessory. Any hints on how to type them with a USA-ASCII keyboard? 4. I need to use 'scripts,' like comments or notes, that appear to the left of the first lifeline and line up vertically with the stimulus that it refers to, such as a note to "interate over all cars." Should I just use a freeform text block and manually keep it aligned? 5. My instructor states that it's easiest to read the text over stimuli arrows if it's aligned left. Is it possible to change this from centered? 6. My instructor drew an Actor stick-figure to represent the user of the system receiving prompts and inputting responses. This has a lifeline like other classifiers. Is it possible to create this object? Thanks so much for your advice and work on ArgoUML. I look forward to using it in my class and subsequently in my work. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
