XML-based Specification of Diagram Editors
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a graphical specification tool for DiaGen, a diagram editor generator based on hypergraph grammars and hypergraph transformation. The specification tool greatly simplifies the process of specifying and generating diagram editors. It uses an XML-based specification language, and it is an extension of a generic XML editor which offers syntax-directed editing based on the DTD, i.e, syntax specification, of the underlying XML-based language.

Generating Diagram Editors with DiaGen
DiaGen is a specification method, which is primarily based on a hypergraph grammar, and a tool that allows to automatically generate diagram editors from such a specification. Generated editors are free-hand editors, but with an automatic, constraint-based layout for correct diagrams. A hypergraph parser checks diagram correctness and makes it possible to translate diagrams into some user-defin...
متن کاملDiaGen: A Generator for Diagram Editors Based on a Hypergraph Model
Diagrams (e.g., trees for hierarchical structures, or graphs for finite state machines) are often needed as part of advanced user interfaces, and are frequently specific to a user’s application. The implementation of editors for diagrams should be supported by a tool and based on a formal model. This paper gives an overview of DiaGen, our generator for diagram editors. An editor for a certain k...
متن کاملA Software Tool for Generating UML Concurrent Communication Protocol Specification from Service Specification
Manually synthesizing specifications for concurrent and distributed communication protocol entities from a service specification, which is modeled in the UML state machine with composite states is a time consuming and labor-intensive task. To save a time and generate error free specifications for distributed protocol entities modeled in UML state machines, we introduce a tool, called the UML pr...

متن کاملAn Eclipse Framework for Rapid Development of Rich-featured GEF Editors based on EMF Models
Model-based development has an increasing importance in modern software engineering and other domains. Visual models such as Petri nets and UML diagrams proved to be an adequate way to illustrate many structural and behavioral system properties. However, while tooling for textual modeling is pretty mature now, visual tool builders are faced with a much higher complexity regarding the representa...
