I heard @thomas.beale mentioning his wish to have diagrams generated directly from the computable specifications. This might enable him to skip using UML tools that he doesn’t like. I’ve created a simple UML diagram generator and browser. Sample class with enum: [c-terminology-code] Larger dia…

That is indeed interesting! Some specific reactions: usually we want to arrange the visual structure in certain ways; I see that you can do some choices with direction words on links, like ‘up’, ‘down’ etc; the result is still a bit rough however. there is a small ‘whole world’ problem in a few p…

Thank you for the feedback.I believe I can implement some of the improvements. It is not always PlantUMLs fault - it is the way I used it (or didn’t use it e.g. Grouping inheritance arrow heads ). I’ll list custom diagrams on the schema pages. I recreated the one I mentioned in less than 5 minutes. …

This is good stuff, I will certainly follow it’s progress! It looks promising. Can those diagrams be embedded in a web page? I do use UML a lot and sometimes the UML portal doesn’t have the best navigation for the models and some are difficult to find. . Software Engineering Portal Other times I n…

[image] borut.jures: Yes. These diagrams are generated as SVGs. They can also be generated as PNGs. Super cool: I might have a use case for those on my openEHR Toolkit https://toolkit.cabolabs.com/ [image] borut.jures: These diagrams will not be able to compete for looks with hand crafte…

I’ve added two new handcrafted diagrams: Locatable ( original and generated ) Composition ( original and generated ) I took some liberty in grouping classes closer together. I didn’t get Grouped inheritance arrows working. I will also have to leave HashMaps as they are. There is no element i…

Apart from the colour scheme, which I’m not mad on, that’s really pretty good - and you managed to get the notes as well! Now, just a reality check on doing this as a real replacement for the current UML… we would need to solve: BMM expression of method interfaces, pre- and post-conditions and cl…

[image] thomas.beale: In the mean time, we could maybe home in on a visual style we like. One personal preference I have, which is in the current UML, is that inheritance lines are a light colour, while association/composition lines are dark. This emphasises structure over inheritance. In PlantU…

It goes without saying that others should have their say on visual styles - I was just stating this particular one because it has a reasonably obvious impact on diagrams…

It was painful to use the right relative paths for the “!include” statements in the handcrafted diagrams. So I simplified it to only require to specify the class name. Old: [uml-custom-diagram-source-old] New: [uml-custom-diagram-source-new] I also simplified how the relationships are specifi…

All the diagrams for AOM 2.0.6, AOM 2.1.0, AOM 2.2.0, AOM 2.3.0 are now published.

I added many new features and fixes so that the diagrams are as informative as possible.

Thanks to @thomas.beale for writing the AOM BMM files.
