Getting Started

The KIELER Lightweight Diagrams project aims at offering transient lightweight representations of models or parts of them, without incorporating complex editing facilities like graphical editors.
Instead graphical or textual representations are to be synthesized from a chosen fraction of a model base and dismissed if they are not needed anymore. This way the Model-View-Controller paradigm (MVC) shall be established at the users' front end of modeling tools. Although KLighD is intended to address graphical as well as textual transient views, the graphical ones are currently in the focus. The layout of those views is contributed by KIML.

In order to build up your own diagrams by means of KLighD we suggest to install some of our provided features:



Now you only need to call DiagramViewManager.getInstance().createView(<someViewId>, <someViewTitle>, yourModel);, e.g. via a menu entry, and your diagram will show up.
