摘要

序列图属于最常用的UML图。有关于理想美学的研究，但据我们所知，还没有发表布局算法。这可能是由于序列图的严格规范，似乎使它们的布局相当容易。然而，正如我们在这里讨论的那样，朴素算法并不总是产生理想的解决方案。我们提出了在布局算法中实现的紧凑布局的方法，并用50个真实世界的序列图对它们进行了评估。

Automatic Layout and Label Management for Compact UML Sequence Diagrams

Sequence diagrams belong to the most commonly used UML diagrams. There is research on desirable aesthetics, but to our knowledge no layout algorithms have been published. This might be due to the rigid specification of sequence diagrams that seems to make laying them out quite easy. However, as we argue here, naive algorithms do not always produce desirable solutions. We present methods to produce compact layouts which we have implemented in a layout algorithm and evaluate them with 50 real-world sequence diagrams.
