  Tutorial: Violet

Violet is a UML editor * It is very easy to learn and use * It draws nice-looking class, sequence, and state diagrams * It is completely free (includes source, distributed under the GNU General Public License) * It is cross-platform

Tutorial Details:

Those are fine programs for serious users of UML. However students and casual users may not like them because they are too slow, too expensive, or too hard to learn. Mike Godfrey coined the slogan: Roses are rational, violets are GNU.

Here are some of the features that industrial-strength UML programs have and that Violet does not have

* Code generation. Violet does not generate any source code from UML diagrams.
* Reverse engineering. Violet does not generate UML diagrams from source code
* Semantic checking of models. You can use Violet to draw contradictory diagrams
* XMI export or import. Violet does not generate files that can be imported into other UML tools, nor can it read model files from other tools
Violet
It\'s means the Very Intuitive Object Layout E diting Tool. Also, various violets are the official state flowers of Rhode Island, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Illinois.
