About this task
You can create the
following types of statechart transitions:
- Compound transitions
- Forks
- Joins
Use the Features window to add and change the
features for a transition.
A statechart transition
has the following General tab features:
- Name specifies the name of the transition.
- L specifies the label for the element, if
any.
- Stereotype specifies the stereotype of the
element, if any. They are enclosed in guillemets, for example «s1» and
enable you to tag classes for documentation purposes.
- Target specifies the target of the transition.
This field is read-only.
- Trigger specifies the trigger for the transition.
See Specifying a trigger.
- Guard specifies the guard for a transition.
The Overridden check box is available in the Features windows
for textual information in statecharts (state entry and exit actions,
and guards and actions for transitions and static reactions). By enabling
or disabling this check box, you can easily override and unoverride
statechart inheritance without actually changing the model. As you
toggle the check box on and off, you can view the inherited information
in each of the window fields, and can decide whether to apply the
information or revert to the currently overridden information. For
more information, see Overriding statechart textual information.
- Action specifies the transition action.
