Description: TCM is a collection of graphical editors for different software
6
specification methods. It contains a.o. generic editors (for
7
generic diagrams, tables and trees), editors for Structured Analysis
8
(entity-relationship diagrams, data and event flow diagrams,
9
state-transition diagrams, function refinement trees etc.) and
10
editors for UML (static-structure diagrams, use-case diagrams,
11
activity diagrams etc.).
13
TCM supports constraint checking for single documents (e.g. name
14
duplication and cycles in is-a relationships). TCM distinguishes
15
built-in constraints (of which a violation cannot even be attempted)
16
from immediate constraints (of which an attempted violation is
17
immediately prevented) and soft constraints (against which the
18
editor provides a warning when it checks the drawing). As of version
19
2.10 TCM supports hierarchic graphs, so that it can handle for
20
example hierarchic statecharts. Features to be added later include
21
constraint checking across documents and executable models.
23
In addition to the TCM file format, TCM outputs Plain PostScript,
24
Encapsulated PostScript, PNG and the XFig file format. The TCM file
25
format is simple to read and parse so other forms of output can be

Platforms: Binaries exist for Linux 2.x (x86), Solaris 2.x (Sparc, x86),
39
IRIX 6.x, AIX 4.x, HP-UX 10.x, SunOS 4.1.x, OSF\1 and Windows/CYGWIN.

TCM binaries for Linux use X11R6 and Motif 2.1 or Motif 1.2.
41
(Lesstif or OpenMotif is Ok). For each Linux and SunOS distribution
42
there is an alternative distribution with 'statmotif' in the tar.gz file
43
name that has the Motif library statically linked into the
44
executables. For more information see
