Icon Display on supported html model

[tmaus]

we are exporting our project using the html exporting function.

our complete formal description resides in the "use case model" area.

i see problems regarding the created icons for each kind of diagramm.

use-cases, state-diagrams and at least state-diagrams do have the same icons which is definitely wrong as a viewer should be able to distinguish the kind of diagram based on the icon used.

is this a bug or a feature ?

Shouldn't they recognize the type of diagram according to the contents? You could also use a naming convention (Axxx for activity, Uxxx for use case, Sxxx for state diagram)

[tmaus]

it should recognize it by the type ...
but actually it does not ..

we could of course touch each activity- and statediagram ... but this is a lot of work ..

i hoped that we did a mistake .. but i really looks like ea produces the same icons for both of the diagrams

[thomaskilian]

EA produces 4 different icons one "general" and other ones for state, activity and sequence. You might use naming convention for all others if you wish.

thanks for your reply thomas ..

the following snipplet of the lower left frame provides the used icon to display both, the
use-case-diagram as well as the activity diagram

<tr>
   <td width="10%" class=ContentRow><IMG src="../images/diagram.gif"></td>
   <td width="90%" class=ContentRow><a href="EA3.htm" TARGET=content>098</a></td>
</tr> <tr>
   <td width="10%" class=ContentRow><IMG src="../images/diagram.gif"></td>
   <td width="90%" class=ContentRow><a href="EA5.htm" TARGET=content>098: Default-Risikokomponenten initialisieren</a></td>
</tr>

we started to model a use-case ...
and created the corresponding activity diagram as a child of this use-case.
the child gets created in the same view-area (use case view )

if you are right .. which i assume you are ..
one of the icons should be displayed with a use-case diagram icon and the other with the activity-diagram icon ...

:O(

did you get my problem so far

[thomaskilian]

I see your problem. The HTML documenter does not generate different icons as the browser does - just one diagram icon. I guess you have to ask for an enhancement - or wait a day for Sparx to comment :-/
