Create relationship with elements on existing diagram without drag & drop

tomcat-thumbVisual Paradigm provides the intuitive Resource Centric Interface which provides various handy tools to helps you create diagrams. i.e. The Resource Catalog allows you to create diagram without remember the required syntax on different modeling languages. The Resource Catalog allows you to create connected elements, or create relationships by simply drag & drop of resource icons. But sometimes drag & drop sometime may not be very handy in creating relationships between existing elements, i.e. when working on a large diagram. Instead of using drag & drop, you can also make use of the Quick Connect feature in Resource Catalog to create relationships between existing elements on your diagram. To do this: Read more

Create Activity Diagram using Open API

tomcat-thumbActivity diagram is one of the behavior diagram in Unified Modeling Language (UML) which used to model the flow of control of your system. With the support of model of decision, activity diagram provide graphical representation to present the step-by-step flow of control of your system. Instead of manually create the activity diagram, you can also generate it via Visual Paradigm’s Open API. In this article we will show you how to create activity diagram with Open API. Read more

tomcat-thumbTiming diagram in Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a kind of interaction diagram. It is a special form of sequence diagram and focus on the time constraints of the interactions between objects. Instead of manually create the timing diagram, you can also generate it via Visual Paradigm’s Open API. In this article we will show you how to create timing diagram with Open API. Read more

Create Protocol State Machine using Open API

tomcat-thumbThe Protocol State Machine in Unified Modeling Language (UML) helps to express the usage protocol or lifecycle of classifiers. It shows which operations are available for the classifier under which state and conditions, thus provide call sequence of the classifier’s operation. Instead of manually create the protocol state machine, you can also generate it via Visual Paradigm’s Open API. In this article we will show you how to create protocol state machine with Open API.

Control Shape Caption Placement using Open API

tomcat-thumbWhen creating diagrams sometimes you might want to have the caption not showing in the default location, i.e. to have better layout for the containing elements while not having the name being covered. In this case you may adjust the caption position to reserve space for the child elements. To do this you can specify the caption placement of the individual element via the user interface. But instead of manually specify the caption placement shape by shape, you can also do this via the Open API. In this article we will use Component as sample to demonstrate how to control its caption position with Visual Paradigm’s Open API. Read more
