Charts - Class Diagram

Create UML Class Diagrams of your design for the Chart program

Charts

A user will use the software to generate charts of different types and formats. The input data will be in the formats XML or CSV (Comma-Separated Values). The type of charts include bar charts and pie charts. There are also many output formats of the charts, including SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and jpeg.

As an example, a user may request that their XML data be used to create a bar chart in SVG format.

For efficiency reasons, a user may request multiple charts and multiple output formats in the same request, e.g., a request for both a bar chart and a pie chart of the same data.

Take into account:

Your previous design (expressed in C++)

Any new ideas that you get when working with the class diagram

Feedback on your C++ design

Some things to consider:

You can have more than one class diagram

A particular class diagram does not have to include all of the classes

However, the set of classes from all class diagrams does have to include all classes in your design

Some technical details:

File Format for the class diagrams must be in svg (preferred), or in jpeg, or png.

Tool You can use whatever tool you want to draw the diagrams, e.g., Visio, gliffy, etc. You can even draw them on paper and scan them into a jpeg or png image. Neatness does not count, good design does. Even if you use a tool, consider working on paper first.

Readme Use the Readme file to explain what design decisions, changes, etc. that you made.
