DRAWSTATEXML(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation DRAWSTATEXML(1)NAMEdrawstatexml.pl - turns a simple xml description into a state diagram
SYNOPSISdrawstatexml.pl diagram.xml > diagram.svg
java -jar batik-rasterizer.jar diagram.svg
DESCRIPTION
The xml format is described by the (unenforced) dtd in the samples
directory included with the distribution. The advantage of the xml
format is that it lets you name the states and specify edges in terms
of the names. The samples directory also includes examples in the
files ending in xml. See the samples/README.
If you don't like xml, feel free to use the text format supported by
drawstate.pl. You could also use UML::State directly to support a
format of your choice.
PREREQUISTE
XML::DOM
BUGS
The state.dtd description is not enforced. This can lead to hard to
diagnose errors in the input file.
All edges using the same label must be in the same transition_set tag.
If a transition_set tag repeats a label used by an earlier
transition_set tag, it overwrites that transition_set. (Think of the
labels as hash keys, I do.)
The bugs in UML::State apply here as well, since this script uses it to
make the pictures. See perldoc UML::State for those bugs.
