Hello All,

I only just discovered Sirius. I'd be very thankful to hear your expert opinion on a certain type of diagram/map. (Wardley maps)

I have attached an example map screenshot from onlinewardlepmaps.com, a tool to create those maps.

In your opinion, is it possible to build a modeller for a diagram like this? I guess this is more about the visual representation than the model itself. Is it possible to use x- and y-axis like that?

Looking forward to hear your quick opinion on this.

Thank you so much,
André

Hi André,

I would start by creating a Container mapping with compartments [1]. If you never used them, I would recommand this tutorial [2].
For the axis, that would require some custom code. You will need to register a new EditPartProvider to provide a custom ContainerEditPart [3] where you can draw the axis figures and add some label edit part, for the the vertical axis. For the horizontal axis, you can use the compartment labels but you will probably need to set them as "border" label and privde a DBorderItemLocator to force them the be placed at the bottom left.

Best regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Thank you for your detailed answer.
So it's possible, which is good to know. Right now, probably just a bit too much effort needed, for me at least. But now that we have your outline, I can come back to this at some later point, or someone else can take it up.

Thanks again!
André

Hi André,

Great!
Indeed, the second part of my answer involve some custom code, but it is for a "cosmetic" purpose so the representation will look as close as in your example. On the other end, if you need a quick demo to be completly convinced (you or someone else), you can try the first part, concerning the compartment, quite quickly I think.

Best regards,
Steve
