A diagram element opened in BioUML web edition.

Description

Diagram element represents a graph. It consists of nodes, edges and compartments (all of them are called as diagram elements). Node is usually represented as some geometrical shape like box or ellipse. Edge is a line which connects two nodes. Compartment is a special type of node which can contain other nodes inside.

When you click on the diagram in the repository tree, a diagram document is opened allowing you to view or edit the diagram. The only exception is the workflow diagrams: in BioUML web edition by default they are opened in analysis document, where you can set the workflow parameters and launch it. Nevertheless you can edit workflow if you use "Open diagram" context menu action.

There are numerous types of the diagrams. Some of them are listed here.
