Frame

PreviousRealizationNextClass Diagrams

Last updated 7 months ago

A Frame in Modeldraw is a rectangular shape with a name that can be used to visually group other shapes within a diagram. It provides a way to organize and structure your diagrams, enhancing clarity and understanding.

With Frames in Modeldraw, you can:

  • Visually group related elements in your diagrams

  • Create logical sections or subsystems within a larger diagram

  • Improve the readability and organization of complex diagrams

  • Highlight specific areas or components of your system

  • Add context or additional information to a group of elements

Understanding Frame

A Frame in Modeldraw is represented by a rectangle with a name compartment in the upper-left corner. Key points to understand about Frames include:

  • Frames are used to encapsulate and group related elements.

  • Each Frame has a name that describes its purpose or the group it represents.

  • Frames can contain any type of diagram elements.

  • Frames are purely visual and do not affect the logical structure of your model.

  • Frames can be used across various types of UML diagrams in Modeldraw.
