Sandbox/Mscgen

This page is for testing the functionality of the Graphviz extension using the mscgen tool and language.

Editing Notes:

• Each graph on a page must have its own name defined with uniquifier.
• After a graph has changed you often need to reload the page. Check the notices.
• See Graphviz for further help.

Example 1

<mscgen uniquifier="example1">
msc {
 arcgradient = 8;

 a [label="Client"],b [label="Server"];

 a=>b [label="data1"];
 a-xb [label="data2"];
 a=>b [label="data3"];
 a<=b [label="ack1, nack2"];
 a=>b [label="data2", arcskip="1"];
 |||;
 a<=b [label="ack3"];
 |||;
}
</mscgen>

<mscgen uniquifier="example1"> msc {

arcgradient = 8;

a [label="Client"],b [label="Server"];

a=>b [label="data1"];
a-xb [label="data2"];
a=>b [label="data3"];
a<=b [label="ack1, nack2"];
a=>b [label="data2", arcskip="1"];
|||;
a<=b [label="ack3"];
|||;

} </mscgen>

Example 2

<mscgen uniquifier="example2">
# Example MSC using boxes

msc {

   # The entities
   A, B, C, D;

   # Small gap before the boxes
   |||;

   # Next four on same line due to ','
   A box A [label="box"],
   B rbox B [label="rbox"],
   C abox C [label="abox"],
   D note D [label="note"];

   # Example of the boxes with filled backgrounds
   A abox B [label="abox", textbgcolour="#ff7f7f"];
   B rbox C [label="rbox", textbgcolour="#7fff7f"];
   C note D [label="note", textbgcolour="#7f7fff"];
}
</mscgen>

<mscgen uniquifier="example2">

1. Example MSC using boxes

msc {

  # Next four on same line due to ','

} </mscgen>
