Hi,
appended to this mail is a patch for state clusters. They are like
states but you can resize them. They are intended as borders which you
can use to group states.
You can think of a transition starting at a state cluster as equivalent
to lots of transitions starting at the contained states.
Transitions ending at state clusters don't make much sense if you want a
deterministic state machine.
The source is strongly influenced by state.c and large_package.c (mostly
copy&paste...)
To get an icon in the toolbox, I inserted some lines in UML.sheet.
<object name="UML - State Cluster">
<description>State Cluster</description>
<description xml:lang="de">Zustandsgruppe</description>
<description xml:lang="en_CA">State Cluster</description>
<description xml:lang="en_GB">State Cluster</description>
</object>
But this file is generated from somewhere else. Where would have been
the right place to insert the new shape?
Sebastian
