Options for the Class Diagram |
The Class diagram (like any diagram) can be viewed as an Element List, which makes working with the element's properties easier. Diagram Filters can also be used when presenting the diagrams to draw attention to parts of the diagrams and the diagrams can be presented as hand drawn or in a whiteboard style by changing the properties of the diagram.
