7. Practical Diagramming Methods
Chapter 6, Diagramming – an Introduction, laid the groundwork for the use of diagrams as a software design tool. In general, it described the basic ideas of the subject in a fairly abstract way. These now need to be related to practical methods. In this chapter, the work is extended to show:

- How these fit in with the functional flow and object-oriented (OO) design techniques
- The relationship between functional flow and data flow methods
- The information contained in the various diagrams
- Why extensions and modifications of basic diagram types are needed in certain real-time applications
- The general syntax and semantics of commonly used notations ...
