RE: [Boa Constr] UML Topological sort, where to put it?

[Mike C. F. <mcf...@ho...>]

Attached find a module implementing a topologically sorted UML view
subclassed from Views.OGLViews.UMLView   The topological sorting makes the
initial view of the UML diagram considerably more user-friendly, as the
diagram is laid out such that superclasses are always above their
subclasses.  I've also added layout logic such that the scrolled window is
sized to the diagram (it might be preferable to size to the maximum of the
diagram or physical window size).

There are certainly ways you could improve on this formatting, but for me,
this is sufficient to make the view usable as an overview mechanism, so I
don't have any plans to improve the formatting further.

To see the module in action, modify Controllers.py line 170 to include
UMLView2.UMLView2 in the list of AdditionalViews as indicated by Riaan in
his previous message (yes, your instructions were helpful, thanks Riaan).

Enjoy yourselves,
Mike
