Diagram Viewer

The primary purpose of the diagrams rendered by LemonTree is the visualization of diagram changes. As LemonTree renders the diagrams completely on its own, only the data stored in the EA repository can be used. Unfortunately the stored data is not always sufficient for the generation of a precise diagram copy. The goal of LemonTree in this context is to provide semantically correct and readable diagrams, not to be absolutely accurate in the graphical representation.

Modes

Depending on the mode of LemonTree the Diagram Viewer visualizes two (in diff mode) or three (in merge mode) diagrams:

Colors of Elements/Connectors

In addition LemonTree marks changed elements depending on the kind of change:

• new: elements border color is green
  
• changed: elements border color is orange
  
• deleted: element is not rendered. 

Element Selection

When selecting elements in the diagram LemonTree will

• Highlight the element with a custom border
• Show properties in the Property Viewer (if visible)
• Select the element in the Tree Browser (if visible)

Synchronization

LemonTree supports different synchronization mechanisms for all displayed diagrams.

These different mechanisms can be switched by selecting the corresponding option in the "Diagrams" menu on the top-left corner of the diagram viewer.
