This is an extension language for the Meta Programming System of MPS (http://www.jetbrains.com/mps). It can be used to show the structure of a language as UML class diagram. For the visualization the PlantUML (http://plantuml.sourceforge.net) library is used. It is packed with the MPS PlantUML plugin which is shipped with the mbeddr project (http://mbeddr.com).
This repository is a fork of https://github.com/maystar/LanguageVisualization. It was updated to support newer MPS versions.
Builds are provided as com.felixvollmer.langvis in the maven repository of this project. The versions correspond to the MPS version (e.g. 2019.1). You also need to install com.mbeddr.platform which is available from the itimis nexus.
Run one of the following commands:
./gradlew # Mac and Linux
gradlew.bat # Windows
All dependencies are downloaded automatically.
- Map language structure concept to UML classes
- Visualize abstract, final and rootable attributes
- Show concept members
- Properties
- Children
- References
- Show concept's behavior methods
- Show arguments and return type
- Viszalize abstract and static attributes
- Concepts and members are "clickable" to navigate to the source node
- Support to filter visible concepts
- Hide concepts from other languages
- Hide interface concepts
- Specify a include or exclude concept list
- subconcepts can be included/excluded, too
- Optional show UML packages for
- languages
- virtual packages
Import the language langvis to your structure model (Ctrl + L). Add a new "language visualization node" to the structure model and name it as you like. Select the new node an choose from its conext menu "Visualize" (Ctrl + Alt + V). The mbeddr Visualization panel should be opened. You can click on elements of the UML diagram to navigate through your language.
Note: This is the first shot for this language. There are lots of possibilities to improve it. Everybody is welcome to add some code or share ideas.
