RE: Newbie: Questions on Sequence Diagrams

Michiel, thanks for your help. I'm not sure what's happening with the Classifier names, however. When I type '/Mustang:Car', '/Mustang:Car:' appears in the rectangle at the top of the diagram. What I'm hoping for is 'Mustang:Car', for 'ObjectName:ClassName'. This is using version 0.26, under Linux Ubuntu 8.04 and Javastart.

Thanks for the hint on the Windows Character Map. That's how I typed them in my email. Unfortunately, I'm running ArgoUML under Linux, and the GNOME Character Map application seems to work differently than the Windows one.

Thanks, again, for your help.

-Kevin

I note that when I create and name a new classifier role, if I give it the name "Mustang:Car" with ObjectName:ClassName, it adds a final colon and doesn't underline it as an object name. How can I add both of these aspects? How can I create anonymous objects of a Class, with an initial colon?

I think you forgot to type the "/" in front. The right syntax is:
"/Mustang:Car".

You can then enter <<stereotype>> on the diagram and it shows as
<stereotype>.
My keyboard has them, but it is a extremely rare layout...
On Windows, as you can see in the System Tool "Character Map": key them
in as Alt+0171 for < and Alt+0187 for >.
