DiaCenter

integrates the access to the following dia tools:

• autodia
  
  
• dia2Code
  
  
• dia2SQLpy
  
  

diaCenter is tested under Linux and Windows XP. Under Windows 98, you might get into environment problems due to the 'long' calls of autodia (or dia2code). Solution: Shorten up your paths, or change to Linux :-)

Features

• Creating code in Python, PHP, Java, C++, C, Ada and IDL from UML-diagrams using dia2code
  
  
• Creating UML-diagrams from code in Python, PHP, Perl, Java and C++ using autodia
  
  
• Creating database definitions for SQLite, Mysql and PostgreSQL from UML-diagrams using dia2sqlpy
  
  
• Creating UML-diagrams from your database definition using autodia

• diaCenter.tar.gz (Linux: tared & gzipped, version 0.30, 2005-11-07, 26 KB)
  
  

Installation

• First of all: you'll need Python (at least version 2.3) including Tkinter & TIX
  
  
• Creating UML-diagrams requires dia
  Note: for the proper use of diaCenter, you won't need dia; but where do you get your dia-source files from?
  
  
• The code generation from dia UML-diagrams requires dia2code
  
  
• The generation of a database definition from dia UML-diagrams requires dia2SQLpy.
  Note: a modified version of dia2SQLpy is included in the diaCenter zip-file.
  
  
• The UML-diagram generation from the source code or from a database definition requires autodia
  Note: autodia is a perl module. You must install perl including the Template Toolkit. The installation of a perl module requires root privileges and the following steps:
  
  
  1. perl Makefile.PL
     
     
  2. make
     
     
  3. make test
     
     
  4. make install
     
     
• Unzip diaCenter.zip (Windows) or diaCenter.tar.gz (Linux) in a subdirectory
  
  
• Call diaCenter.pyw
  
  
• Fix the options in the Configuration Panel!
