Tool for UML Collaboration Diagrams (TCBD).
2
----------------------------------------------
3
This tool is intended for UML collaboration diagrams (CBDs).
4
More about the drawing of CBDs can be found in chapter 6 of the
5
user's guide and more about the use of this notation technique
6
can be found in appendix A of the user's guide.

Diagram editing in general.
9
---------------------------
10
Diagrams that are made by a diagram editor are a special
11
kind of graph consisting of nodes and edges and with a certain
12
representation. In the representation of a graph, nodes and edges are
13
shown as shapes (boxes, lines, diamonds etc.).
15
Documents should satisfy certain constraints. Most constraints
16
are specific for the particular diagram technique supported by the
17
editor. In the editors there are three kinds of constraints:
19
1. Built-in constraints which are constraints which can never be
20
violated because there is no command in the user interface to achieve
23
2. Immediately enforced constraints: when you perform a command that
24
would violate a constraint that is immediately enforced, this command
25
is rejected immediately by the editor and a pop-up window with an error
28
3. Soft constraints which are constraints that can be violated.
29
Soft constraints are checked by the editor when the Check Document
30
from the Document menu is issued by you. Check Document displays a list
31
of error messages in a pop-up window. As opposed to the previous two
32
classes of constraints, you are responsible for correcting the diagram.
