You can work with diagrams in a variety of ways for your own information, and you can use them to share aspects of your project with others in a visual way that is easy to understand. This section presents some common tasks and lists the various tools you can use to work with all types of diagrams.See Diagram Preferences to understand and set preferences so that diagrams display as you desire.Use the following properties to handle diagrams that are too complex to display in a timely manner. You can adjust the values in the BE_HOME/studio/eclipse/configuration/studio.tra file to define upper limits:
If the number of edges in the diagram exceeds the limit defined by be.studio.project.diagram.nrEdges, then the usage links in the diagram are hidden. Usage links are links from a rule or rule function to other rules or rule functions it uses.If the number of edges in the diagram exceeds the limit defined by be.studio.project.diagram.nrMaxEdges, then symmetric layout is run as default rather than hierarchical because symmetric layout is faster and less expensive.In TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio you can create diagrams in three ways. The Table 46, Creating Diagrams lists these three ways and the diagrams you can create using them.
