There are a number of unsupported programs around, include idraw and
hackdraw. There is also RAGS, an editor developed by the Corporate
User Publications people for their technical illustrators. In
addition, the recently released DECwrite includes a graphics editor
which is about at the level of the original MACdraw.
EPIC/Draw has evolved into two pieces:
- DECpresenter, a complete presentation package, currently in Phase 2
of development, and
- an as-yet-unnamed graphics editor/illustration package, currently
in advanced development.
Can you explain what you mean by "visible connection type objects?"
Thanks.

Hi, Peter. We met once at TS's house once.
Anyway, what I mean by visible connection is a line (or curve or
polyline) whose endpoints are associated with a pair of objects (say
boxes).
I want to be able to edit a drawing by moving a box that has one
end of a connection associated with it, and have the connection
"stretch" automagically.
That would make editing diagrams of finite state machines (FSMs)
and Augmented Transition Networks (ATNs), _much_ easier.
My group is using FSMs to specify the behavior of concurrent
systems (VAXCluster subsystems, like the CI). We need both textual
descriptions of the FSMs, for automatic test genereation/checking, and
graphical representations to communicate the behavior. Having a tool
that could generate graphics from those descriptions would be great.

1475.4 | What about ??? | YUPPY::CONNOLLY | | Thu Sep 28 1989 05:38 | 4 |
| Doesnt DECdesign have these features????
|
1475.5 | DECdesign's got it | GOBBLR::MULHEREN | Kelly Mulheren, GObE & NetEd | Thu Sep 28 1989 08:25 | 5 |
| Yes, DECdesign (formerly ADT) has a nice State Transition Diagram editor.
See the ADT_IFT notesfile for more info (KP7).
