Overview: Visio Integration

Reading visio models into oAW.

How to get it?

It is part of the Utilities package.

What it does

  • With the help of the Metamodel generator you generate the metamodel.
  • Based on those, you define a set of Visio shapes that represent those metaclasses in Visio.
  • You can then build Visio models and store it as an XML drawing.
  • Finally, you can read this model (without a generic instantiator) into oAW and do whatever you want, typically generate code.
The following illustration shows an example of such a Visio based model. Note how you can build intruiging visual DSLs with only very limited effort!



The above illustration shows a set of custom-made shapes (1) for describing forms as well as the workflow among the forms. (2) shows an example model built with these shapes. Note that you can define custom attributes (3) for the shapes, which will later be available in the code generator.
