Style Guidelines for Activity-Charts : Data Stores

Data Stores

All data-stores should have the same size in height and width (refer to Graphical Settings/Drawing Preferences) For readability reasons the shape should be different from the shape of function blocks.

If a bigger size is needed, then the relevant size should be a multiple of the pre-defined “basic” height or width.

Normal data-store as known in Structured Analysis (see ALG_PARAMS in the Joints and Forks figure).

Junction of information that is given by different function blocks within different time steps (see DATA_OUT in the Joints and Forks figure).

Naming convention for flows to/from Data-Stores:

Unlabeled flows to/from data-stores assume the name of the data-store.
