CanvasUML 0.1.1

CanvasUML 0.1.1 can be a really useful free Cocoa-based application for Mac OS X Tiger which lends you a helping hand in creating simple UML Class Diagrams. CanvasUML is alpha-quality software and should not be used for mission critical work (as if there were such a thing as mission critical UML diagramming?). CanvasUML is built using Apple's WebKit framework, tag, WebKit's support for ContentEditable.

CanvasUML should be thought of as an exploration of what is possible using the above technologies rather than a solid app. It is basically an experiment to see how far the element can be pushed.

Major Features:

1. CanvasUML is implemented with an unholy mix of HTML, JavaScript, Cocoa, CSS, the tag, contentEditable, and Safari JavaScript Drag n Drop.
2. The main window in a CanvasUML document consists of a WebView (basically like a Safari window) filled by a large, resizable tag. The class/instance boxes are DHTML
   s with nested contentEditable

   s for the title, attribute, and operations sections. The association lines and the shadows behind the class boxes are, of course, drawn by the tag. CanvasUML saves its doucuments as HTML files which link against a shared CSS stylesheet and JavaScript library stored in the CanvasUML app bundle (take a look if you're curious).

Requirements:

• Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or later.
