Looks very nice. The blue shading is a bit too much when the images are
posted on the wiki - I did find one in my searching and it was hard to
read the entity name since the black did not have enough contrast with
the blue.
http://ufo.labs.libre-entreprise.org/UFO/screenshots.html does not show
all of the UML drawings that one would like to have.
Use case, Sequence, Activity are not shown.
It looks really good as an ER tool.
Does anyone know which one was used to make the ER diagrams in the Wiki?

Hi all,
There is a tool : UFO (UML for OFBIz) that have been developed to make
UML diagrams from OFBiz XML entity definition :
http://ufo.labs.libre-entreprise.org/UFO/index.html
http://www.neogia.org/wiki/index.php/U.F.O.
We use it for a long time and it works well. It's on GPL licence but
may be it can be set to Apache licence.

The graphs at

referring to other places (IIRW other places are older...)

Others may have more definite information about what has been used
in the past.
I have seen UML(use case) drawings in the wiki that use the same (or
very similar) graphics that ArgoUML uses.
ArgoUML is open source
We are only scratching the surface in our internal use of it so I am
not an expert modeller but it looks like something that an
experienced UML modeler should be able to use to get most of the
diagrams required to support development.
It would be nice to have a product that deals with the issue of
version control and SCM for models in a way that allowed many people
to update the models.
It is probably possible to partition the model into enough chunks
that people can keep the models up to date without tripping over
each other.
There are a lot of database models already part of the documentation
but I am not sure if they are up to date.
I also do not know what tool was used to make them
We use MySQL Workbench which is free and produces diagrams that are
pretty aesthetically pleasing.

Yeah, graphs & charts represent special cases.
For the first applications of our ETVL, org charts were a very useful
output since we were dealing with people in organizations where a
clean
hierarchy is the common way that companies are organized. It was
useful
to have the organizational structure (departments, divisions, etc) as
well as reporting relationships between people.
Graphviz is capable of producing very complex charts and has a fair
amount of language features to support customizing the appearance.

If people don't like the idea of using the Graphviz version that
I made,
there is a viewer for graffle that runs on the PC. Not sure if

Graphviz can outout SVG.
I am not sure if it would be easy to use svg as a source.
Graphviz offers high level control over placement that usually
gives a
clean graph without having to manually place nodes.
I have just started to use the dynamic javascript version of
graphviz in
my ETVL tool to output org charts embedded into HTML pages from
hierarchical data.
Works fine but the org charts are not as nice looking as
GetOrgChart's
charts and GetOrgChart produces a chart that can be interrogated
in the
browser to view the detail information stored at each node so I
support
both ways of generating charts in HTML format.

What happens if you change a .graffle file's extension to
something
else
like SVG or XML? Any luck? I know very little about Mac
lock-ins, but
if you can get a text-based file to display (e.g. if .graffle
is .xml
underneath) you might be able to edit the text.
You could also try taking a screenshot and then editing that by
overlaying the newer links on top of the old image. Quality might
suffer.
Perhaps committers could consider SVG as a forward-thinking
standard
format for the project's graphical source files
(production-ready files
can be exported as whatever). My preferred tool is Inkscape
(Windows/Mac/Linux).

These run on all platforms and are all free.

Hi All
Does anyone in the community have access to Graffle on a Mac
who is
willing
to help us update one of our wiki diagrams?
The diagram that needs to be updated is called
OFBizComponentDependencies.graffle (see link below)
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=7766065&metadataLink=true
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpageattachments.action?pageId=7766065&metadataLink=true>
It forms part of the page around Component Set and Component Set
Dependencies page that we want keep up to date.
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Component+and+Component+Set+Dependencies
We need to update some links so please respond if you can help.
Thanks
Sharan
