Towards three-dimensional representation and animation of UML diagrams
Martin Gogolla, Oliver Radfelder, Mark Richters · 1999
The UML notation is intended to be drawn on two-dimensional surfaces. However, three-dimensional diagram layout and animation may improve comprehension of complex diagrams significantly. The paper concentrates on special UML diagram forms well-suited for advanced visualization. It makes a proposal for representing and animating such UML diagrams in a three-dimensional style. Keywords: UML Diagram, Visualization, Animation, Graph, Planar Representation, Three-Dimensional Representation. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
