In short:
-------
To reverse C++ code and automatically generate activity diagrams (UML, for
example). For this to be possible, some special comments (with a distinct
format) written alongside the code would act as the source -- as well as the
code itself. Ideally, we could also zoom in and out when viewing the diagram:
selecting different levels of detail

Dear developers of ArgoUML,

I am a researcher working for an international collaboration, based at CERN. We
are developing the public software VINCIA, for the simulation of collisions at LHC.

I have used Argouml in the past, and I think that it is a great software (except
the lack of 'Undo' function, at the time). Thanks for making it public.

For our purposes, we would need to extend the functionality of Doxigen:
We want to be able to reverse C++ code and automatically generate activity
diagrams (UML, for example). For this to be possible, some special comments
(with a distinct format) written alongside the code would act as the source --
as well as the code itself. Ideally, we could also zoom in and out when viewing
the diagram: selecting different levels of detail.
The classes diagram that programs like Doxigen offer is not enough for us to
grasp the functionality of the code. We would need a visual representation of
the different actions performed by the code. I think that the potential of this
extension for ArgoUML is enormous, and can be useful for any other software
developers.

I would be interested to collaborate to implement this new feature into ArgoUML.
