State Toolbox
The State Toolbox is used for State Machine diagrams to show the enableable states a Class or other element might be in and the transitions from one state to another. These diagrams are often placed under a Class element in the Project Browser to illustrate how a particular element changes over time.

The State Toolbox provides elements common to State Machine diagrams; basically the State, Entry and Exit nodes and the Object Flow relationship. State Machine diagrams are used to model the states or conditions that elements might be in at runtime, such as active, inactive, idle, accelerating or braking. States can have substates; for example, Accelerate and Brake might be substates of Active. |
