I am trying to create a flow chart for a very complex program. I
decided to create a chart for each method of each object. This is
leading me to some problems or things I would like to do but do not
know if can be done or how to do them.
1. I wish to track some class member variables that are used between
methods. I would like to represent them in my charts where they are
used, however, I would also like the viewer of the chart be aware of
the interconnectedness of such variables. IE: If someone looks at one
chart and sees a variable "alpha" being checked for a value, they might
ask "where did this value come from? Its not set in this method."
Alpha may be set in 3 differant places and I would like to provide some
kind of graphical linking so they can clearly see where its linked. I
know I can provide one link to another drwaing, but I am not sure how
to link it to multiple ones.
2. I may want to represent an object in one box in one drawing, yet as
an entire flowchart unto itself in another one. I would like to a way
to link these, and hopefull in a manner that will allow you to print a
master flow chart with all these minor parts 'expanded' into thier full
blown flow charts.
3. If I enter text into a box, such as a logical branch or a process,
I can't figure out how to edit it, I always end up re-typing the whole
thing.
