UML Diagrams - Sequence Diagram Topics

Sequence Diagram Notation

Visual Paradigm’s product support the UML 2.0 activity diagram notations.

Synchronization between System Level Sequence Diagram and Flow of Event
2006-01-10
The system level sequence diagram can be transformed from the flow of events in the use case description. The VP’s products, including VP-UML and SDE, support not only the generation of system level sequence diagram based on the flow of events, but also the synchronization between the sequence diagram and flow of events.

Synchronization between Sequence Diagram and Communication Diagram
2006-01-10
Both sequence diagram and communication diagram are called interaction diagrams that illustrate the dynamic view of a system which emphasizing on different things. Sequence diagram emphasizes the time ordering of messages while collaboration diagram emphasizes the structural organization of the objects that send and receive messages. Using VP-UML, you can synchronize the sequence diagram to the communication diagram and vice versa which enables you to oversee different emphases from both diagrams.

Drawing Sequence Diagram with Resource-Centric Interface
2006-01-10
With the Resource-centric interface, you can conveniently create another object from the current object you are working on working on, without having to jump to another screen or doing too much mouse movement. The resource-centric interface also helps you focus on the available step-by step interactions from an object to another and also prevents you from drawing invalid interactions.

Drawing Sequence Diagram with Real-time Layout
2006-01-10
When creating a complex sequence diagram, it is very troublesome and time-consuming to organize the shapes in a nice and neat layout. In VP-UML, there is a feature allowing you to enable the real-time layout adjustment while specifying the absolute or relative spacing between lifelines or messages. This feature helps you to organize the layout of your sequence diagram automatically in a real-time manner.

Using Alternative Combined Fragments in Sequence Diagram
2006-01-10
A combined fragment is used to specify an area of a group of lifelines/actors to show conditional flow in a sequence diagram. Alternative combined fragment models the if-then-else logic in the sequence diagram.

Editing the Combined Fragment in Sequence Diagram
2006-01-10
A combined fragment is used to specify an area of a group of lifelines/actors to show conditional flow in a sequence diagram. This combined fragment notation is a new notation in UML 2.0 which will be used to handle the functionality problems, for some logic that is required for a sequence diagram that UML 1.x could not handle.
