| − | == Introduction ==
| + | Return to [[Rodin Plug-ins]] |
| | | | |
| − | The Rodin Editor plug-in provides a structured editor to model in Event-B withing Rodin. This editor uses a textual representation, and edition is done through an overlay text editor and action depending on the caret position in the text.<br>
| + | UML-B provides a 'UML-like' graphical front end for Event-B. It provides various diagrammatic modelling notations and editors for creating models which are then translated into Event-B for verification. [[UML-B]] works alongside Event-B allowing the modeller to model in normal Event-B but also contribute some aspects of the model via diagrams. |
| − | For more details about the principles of this editor, see [[Rodin_Editor|the Rodin Editor Plug-in page]].

| | | | |
| − | == Installation ==
| + | Our [https://www.uml-b.org UML-B] website contains more information about installing UML-B and getting started, as well as our current research and collaborations. |
| | | | |
| − | === Setup ===
| + | UML-B is a collection of diagrammatic editors for Event-B. The diagrams are used to elaborate the machine and its content with extra model features. The diagrams may either by contained within the machine they contribute to, or can be contained in a separate UML-B model file that is linked to the machine. |
| − | Install the Rodin Editor plug-in:
| |
| − | # In the menu choose Help -> Install New Software...
| |
| − | # In the Work with dropdown list, choose the location URL: Rodin - http://rodin-b-sharp.sourceforge.net/updates
| |
| − | # Select the Rodin Editor feature then click the check box
| |
| − | # Click Next, after some time, the Install Details page appears
| |
| − | # Click Next and accept the license
| |
| − | # Click Finish
| |
| − | # A Security Warning window may appear: click OK
| |
| − | # Restart Rodin as suggested.
| |
| − | Now you are ready to use the new Rodin Editor plug-in.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Release Notes ===
| + | * [[Image:IUMLB.png]] [[Event-B Statemachines| State-machine diagrams]] a hierarchical state-machine diagram editor which can be used to impose sequential ordering to your events. An animator is also provided to visualise the progress of the state-machine. |
| − | See [[Rodin_Editor_Release_History | Rodin Editor Release Notes]]
| |
| | | | |
| | + | * [[Image:IUMLB.png]] [[Event-B Classdiagrams| Class diagrams]] a class diagram editor which can be used to define data entities and their relationships and to lift behaviour based on data sets. |
| | | | |
| − | == Editing == | + | ==Lectures== |
| | | | |
| − | This is a small exercice to get used to the principles of the new structured editor. It is based on the 'Celebrity' project of the tutorial. You can download the resulting project [http://sourceforge.net/projects/rodin-b-sharp/files/Doc_%20Tutorial/1.1/Celebrity.zip/download <tt>here</tt>].<br>
| + | * [[Media:iUML-BClassDiagramsLecture.pdf | UML-B Class-diagrams Lecture]] : Lecture slides on the use of UML-B Class-diagrams |
| − | We will here build the context ''Celebrity_C0''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | === Create a context, add elements to it ===
| + | * [[Media:iUML-BStatemachinesLecture.pdf | UML-B State-machines Lecture]] : Lecture slides on the use of UML-B State-machines. |
| − | Let's create a Rodin project, and add a context component called ''Celebrity_C0'' to it.<br>
| |
| − | -- By opening this context with the Rodin Editor (right click > Open with > Rodin Editor) you shall obtain the following:<br>
| |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step1.png]] | |
| | | | |
| − | This editor allows to do things based on the position of the caret.<br>
| + | ==Tutorials== |
| − | -- Place the caret at one location on the line of the context label, and before the label, as on the figure below:
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step2.png]] | + | * [[iUML-B Class-diagrams Tutorial]] : A tutorial on the use of UML-B Class-diagrams. |
| | | | |
| − | -- Then right click, and add a 'Constant' child using the menus : | + | * [[iUML-B State-machines Tutorial]] : A tutorial on the use of UML-B State-machines. |
| | | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step3.png|600px]]
| + | ==Guidelines== |
| | | | |
| − | -- Save the file. <br> | + | * [[UML-B - Modelling a control system]] : Some guidelines on modelling styles for a control system |
| − | After saving the file, the error markers are recalculated, and you have an error that appears on the newly created constant 'cst1'.<br>
| |
| − | You shall see this :
| |
| | | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step4.png|600px]]
| |
| | | | |
| − | Note that you can visualize the error message by going over the error marker with the mouse.
| + | [[Category:User documentation]] |
| − | | + | [[Category:UML-B]] |
| − | -- Enter the edition mode by clicking inside the label 'cst1'.
| + | [[Category:Plugin]] |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step5.png]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | The overlay editor then appears (cst1 is in black, and the background is gray[see above]) and you can modify the label of the constant.<br>
| |
| − | -- Modify the label to be 'k'and exit the overlay edition by pressing 'Enter'. ''Note that because 'Enter' is used to enter or exit the overlay mode under the caret, in order to insert carriage return in text, you have to press CTRL+ENTER.<br>''
| |
| − | You can then save the file. <br>
| |
| − | You then see something like the following.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step6.png]] | |
| − | | |
| − | Then we want to add another constant. As we have 'k' already, we will use 'add sibling' command to add another constant after k.<br>
| |
| − | -- Place the caret before k as on the following picture :
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step7.png]] | |
| − | | |
| − | -- Right-click. The following context menu appears : | |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step8.png|200px]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | -- Click on "Add Sibling" you see then that a new constant was created, named 'cst1'.
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Image:RodinEditor_UserGuide_step9.png]] | |
| − | | |
| − | You can then enter the overlay edition mode to change this value to 'c'

| − | ''' CONGRATULATIONS! You learned how to use the Rodin Editor.'''

| − | === Using keyboard shorcuts ===
| |
| − | Here is the list of the currently key bindings which are set by default and specific to the Rodin Editor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{SimpleHeader}}
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | ! scope=col | KEY SEQUENCE || ACTION
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | BACKSPACE (ENTER) || Enter the edition mode using the overlay editor if the caret is on an editable place.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | DEL || Suppress the element after the caret position
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | CTRL+T || Add a sibling of the element pointed by the caret position. The sibling is placed just after this latter one.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | CTRL+SHIFT+N || Opens a popup to select the element type of the child to add to the element pointed by the caret position. Note that if there is only one child type, the child will be directly created.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | CTRL+BACKSPACE || Insert a new carriage return while editing with the overlay editor.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | ALT+ARROW_UP || Move up the selected elements.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | ALT+ARROW_DOWN || Move down the selected elements.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | SHIFT+ARROW_UP || Select elements up.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | SHIFT+ARROW_DOWN || Select elements down.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | ALT+ESC || Quit the current overlay edition (if any) and forget the modifications made, frees the current selection.
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | TAB || Go to the next editable place (i.e. to the next editable element attribute)
| |
| − | |-
| |
| − | | SHIFT+TAB || Go to the previous editable place (i.e. to the next editable element attribute)
| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Customize this list ===
| |
| − | If you don't like these shortcuts, you can modify them by setting your own key preferences.
| |
| − | To do so, go to Window > Preferences and then General > Key. A table appears were you can find and edit the shortcuts.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Tips & Tricks ==
| |
| − | A command currently (i.e. in Rodin 2.2) disable the possibility to use the ESC instead of ALT+ESC sequence. This is quite cumbersome, and can be tuned!
| |
| − | To do so, open the preference table for key shortcuts (described above) and after ensuring you disabled the filters of uncategorized commands (using the Filters... dialog)
| |
| − | search for the command named "Restore Styles". This is the command to release the highlights in the proving views. You can then swith the sequence of this command to ALT+ESC and change the value of the "Abort edition and free selected items" command to ESC. After applying these settings, the shortcuts will be modified as wished above.
