Re: UML Diagram Questions

[John Palmieri <johnp martianrock com>]

We are working on new Shapes code called UrShapes that will make it
easier in the future to create interactive shapes.  One of my goals with
this project is to create new UML shapes that are easier to work with
and allow for scripts to manipulate shapes.  Once finished it will be
easy for someone to get data out of UML shapes and place data into
them.  Of course we do not have a definite date as to when working code
will surface.  Help is always needed.  Take a looked at the discussions
about UrShape in the list archives to see if you would like to lend a
hand.
