How to use metauml in ConTeXt

How to use metauml in ConTeXt

[Joshua Lee]

Hi All,
Is there any way to use metauml from ConTeXt? 
http://thor.info.uaic.ro/~ogh/lop/

BTW, is there any ConTeXt modules to write uml sequence diagram 
similar to http://code.google.com/p/pgf-umlsd ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Joshua

Hi luigi,
Please refer to http://edutechwiki.unige.ch/en/MetaUML for the example,
thanks. There's the metauml package from texlive-metapost, i'm not sure 
how to use it in ConTeXt.

Best regards,
Joshua

Hi Joshua,

There we use the following chain:
- Edit UML diagrams with bouml (a really really great tool to design and
  for reverse engineering… )
- Export to SVG (take care of the font with qt-config if you want some
  consistency within your final pdf)
- SVG to PDF conversion with inkscape (command line + fonts embedding
  option if needed)
- just use the PDF as another external figure…

I'll check tomorrow if I have succeeded to optimize the fonts embedding
(this point has annoyed me a lot)…

From my POV, MetaUML is not adapted to a real production environment
(except at pure design stage)…

Worth give à try to bouml -> pdf
Your UML diagrams should look great with a few bouml/fonts/qt-config
configuration.


Renaud
