Class diagram representation [message #1547128]

I want to create a class diagram UML style, I think someone must already have tried this and found a solution.

I like to create Node/Container looking like this:
index.php/fa/20353/0/

I am trying this in a driagram with a container showing the childs as a list. It seems not possible to create a separator between for example methods and variables.
I tried creating an extra container and put the childs in there which seems not possible in a list container. I tried giving the types of chils a different background collor which is not possible in a list container as the documentation describes

The temporary solution i have now is giving the different childs a different icon
index.php/fa/20354/0/

Anyone got an idea to get a decent separator in there

Hi Koen,

There is a Sirius based UML modeler [1] which supports "separator" and
we call that compartiment. This feature is experimental and not final
[2] but you can use it. You can found how UML Designer do that here [3].
To summarize once you have set the layout as list container, you must
open your .odesign with a text editor and replace the value "List" of
childrenPresentation attribute by the value HorizontalStack as it is
done in the UML Designer.

Best Regards.

Thanks for the response and the uml project
It helps with what i am making, not only with visualizing the class diagram but the project setup as a whole. Could be a nice example in a sticky post.

I tried creating my class diagram and i used some from the uml project but they dont use the verticalstack container in a dynamic situation. The label of their container is always the same, in my situation i dont know how long it will we. I tried solving it with the size/height/width computation expression. I didnt get it to work yet and the tooltip is bit too vague: "return an integer" :/

This is the problem:
index.php/fa/20390/0/

I am using a container with verticalstack child representation (width and height computation -1),
that has a subcontainer as child with list child representation (width and height computation -1),
which has a node (Size computation 3)
index.php/fa/20388/0/

Do you maybe see my error and have more information about computation expression, the documentation is not very clear on this

Hi Koen,

Firstly thank you for your feedback, could you add a comment on [1] and
attach a example to reproduce your issue?
Note that this feature is not yet final.
