The UML Window should pop up with a diagram of all class files in the project as shown in Figure 38.
Note, initially all classes are “selected” so you can immediately drag the group around on the screen. The
UML Window is divided into three panes. The top pane contains a panning rectangle that allows you to
position the UML diagram in the large right pane by dragging the panning rectangle around. To the right
of the panning pane are the buttons for scaling the UML: divide by 2, divide by 1.2, no scaling (1), multiply
by 1.2, and multiply by 2. The Update button should be applied each time you re-compile your program.
Figure 38 has been scaled to 1.44 (1.2x1.2), and the legend has been moved to the lower right of the
diagram. The left pane has tabs for Info, Goto, and Workbench, each of which will be explained later.
If your project includes class inheritance hierarchies and/or other dependencies as in the example, then
you should see the appropriate red and black dependency lines. Next, you will need to learn how to
adjust indicate which objects and dependencies you want in your UML diagram. However, if you are
okay with the classes and dependencies shown in the diagram, go to the next section and begin laying
out your diagram.
