Objectives

• Introduce Dome to draw
• Class Diagrams
• Use Case Diagrams
• Next time well talk about Dome for
• State Diagrams
• Sequence Diagrams
• Demonstrate some of the less intuitive features
  of Dome.
• Demonstrate how to convert diagrams to Postscript
  from Dome.

Starting Dome
4
You have to be running the right DOME

• /soft/serg/Software/DOME/DOME-5.3/bin/dome
• Go to options/misc and add the following tool
  cache path
• /soft/serg/Software/DOME/DOME-5.3/tools/msu-uml/sp
  ecs

5
Creating a New Model
6
Use Case Tool
7
Use Case Diagram

• Start with the System Boundary
• Use Property Button to Change Properties of
  Diagram Components, e.g. Component Name

8
Class Diagram Tool
9
Class Diagram

• Insert model components, then edit with the
  Properties button.
• All associations must be drawn between two
  classes.
• Change association multiplicities by the
  Properties button.

10
Running Dome

• Open an Xterm window.
• You may want to add the following alias to your
  .aliases file to shorten the command you need to
  type.
• alias dome /soft/serg/Software/DOME/DOME-5.3/bin/
  dome

11
Saving Files

• Create a directory for each project and save
  models in that directory.
• Develop some convention for model files so that
  you can easily identify which file is associated
  with which model, e.g. add a -uc to the end of
  the file name for the Use Case Diagram or add an
  extension to the name

12
Generating Postscript

• To generate a postscript file
• Select Print under the File menu.
• Check the Print to File box.
• Select Single Page Postscript as the Format.
• Modify the file name, if desired, then press
  OK.
• Use Ghostview to convert to EPS
