There is no UML element for representing independent functions. You may however consider a free standing function as a special form of object in its own class. In fact, in some designs, “functor” objects are even designed to be used in place of a functions. To avoid possible confusion, you may extend the class diagram … Read more
1 Yes it is UML. You can read more (with examples) about class diagrams and other UML diagrams e.g. at http://www.uml-diagrams.org/class-diagrams-overview.html 2 Although it is possible to Google out and print and pin up on your notice board some “UML cheat sheet” or “UML quick reference card” (e.g. http://www.holub.com/goodies/uml). 3 it is much better to … Read more
Chriss I hope this simple example helps. Guess you have a Java class public class A { private B b; … } In UML you would model this relationship as an association from A to B: A -> B with the following modeling elements: Class B Class A + Property b : B [0..1] (owned … Read more
For two objects Foo and Bar we have: Dependency: class Foo { … fooMethod(Bar bar){} … } Association: class Foo { private Bar bar; … } Composition: (When Foo dies so does Bar) class Foo { … private Bar bar = new Bar(); … } Aggregation: (When Foo dies, Bar may live on) class Foo … Read more

In most cases, it will only clutter up your diagrams. Login is neither complex (*) nor does it give you much added value as a use case. In your textual document that includes the use cases with description, include as a prerequisite a list of features that require a successful login. Easier to track and … Read more
This shows navigability. A can see (means it has an attribute referencing) B. In contrast B has no idea about/reference to A. As @JimL commented, your arrow is wrong and only used for stereotype definition. I’m referring to the unfilled arrow which indicates navigability of associations from which I assume you actually meant that. UML … Read more
Some context: Recently for graduate school I researched UML tools for usability and UML comprehension in general for an independent project. I also model/architect for a living. The previous posts have too many answers and not enough questions. A common misunderstanding is that UML is about creating diagrams. Sure, diagrams are important, but really you … Read more
Normal rectangle with a dotted rectangle in the top right corner, to represent the template parameter. Something like this: ……. ___________: T : | :…..: | | | ClassName | | | |______________|
Hmm, this seems to be a bit of an old question, but since I’ve been messing about with Doxygen configuration last few days, while my head’s still full of current info let’s have a stab at it – I think the previous answers almost have it: The missing option is to add COLLABORATION_GRAPH = YES … Read more
