Hi!

I have noticed that there are a couple of packages for UML diagrams. Which
one should i use if i have these priorities:
1) Be able to handle at least: class , use-case and sequence
diagrams.
2) Easy to use (but not missing out on the [1] point).
3) Work with MikTeX (i have used LaTeX for a while, but only installed
packages from MikTeX repository. But i will learn how to install the
necessary package. If there are some packages who doesn´t work in
the Windows+MikTeX environment then i can´t use them at the moment).

Hope that i made myself understood and didn´t ask an RTFM question so that i
will get flamed. :-)

Best regards, Yngve

Why didn't you list the packages then :-) Anyway, this has been discussed here
before so you best shut might be

Sorry I can't help you more.

All documentation in french, also it never went any further than an Alfa
version. Do you/anyone have experience of this package?

This package only supports class diagrams, not all the diagram types that i
need to use.

Both of the above haven´t been updated for several years, are there any
others? (i already knew about the two above)

Thanks for trying to help Herbert, but if possible i am looking for some
other package (which i can read the documentation to and use the three
diagram types i mentioned in the root post). So keep the answers coming
please! :-)
