Hi people,
I've been always slightly discontented with how my statecharts are vizualized with graphviz and that they do not look quite like classical UML statecharts, I mean the oval form of the states
I'm not that much familiar with UML so I do not care whether states are displayed as ovals or as ellipses.
and how the compound states are displayed and visual marking of entry/exit states.
Visualization of compound states is something that I'm also not satisfied with. I have not found a better way how to automatically visualize them with dot.
What do you people use to make output statechart to be more classical UML alike and be generally more appealing?
Nothing :-)
As for me, so far I tried the easiest way, i.e. output to plantuml uml instead of dot. It looks like classical uml without tuning, but I reckon dot is much more customizable and I probably miss some its obvious features.
I didn't know about plantuml. It looks quite nice. If you have some code that works with plantuml, it would be great if you can share it. Cheers, -Michal
