NAME
UML::Sequence - This package makes UML sequence diagrams, often by running the code.
SYNOPSIS
use UML::Sequence;
my $tree = UML::Sequence->new(\@methods, \@outline, \&parse_method);
print $tree->build_xml_sequence('Title');DESCRIPTION
To use this package, or see how to use it, see genericseq.pl and seq2svg.pl.
This class helps produce UML sequence diagrams. build_xml_sequence returns a string (suitable for printing to a file) which the seq2svg.pl script converts into svg.
To control the appearance of the sequence diagram, pass to the constructor:
1 a reference to an array containing the signatures you want to hear about or a reference to a hash whose keys are the signatures you want 2 a reference to an array containing the lines in the outline of calls 3 a reference to a sub which takes signatures and returns class and method names
To build the array references and supply the code reference consult UML::Sequence::SimpleSeq, UML::Sequence::JavaSeq, or UML::Sequence::PerlSeq. To see one way to call these look in the supplied genericseq script.
EXPORT
None, this module is object oriented.
