.SH "NAME"
Autodia::Diagram::Class \- Class that holds, updates and outputs the values of a diagram element of type class.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
use Autodia::Diagram::Class;
.PP
my \f(CW$Class\fR = Autodia::Diagram::Class\->new;
.SS "Description"
.IX Subsection "Description"
Autodia::Diagram::Class is an object that represents the Dia \s-1UML\s0 Class element within a Dia diagram. It holds, outputs and allows the addition of attributes, relationships and methods.
.SH "METHODS"
.IX Header "METHODS"
.SS "Constructor"
.IX Subsection "Constructor"
my \f(CW$Class\fR = Autodia::Diagram::Class\->new($name);
.PP
creates and returns a simple Autodia::Diagram::Class object, containing its name and its original position (default 0,0).
.SS "Accessors"
.IX Subsection "Accessors"
Autodia::Diagram::Class attributes are accessed through methods, rather than directly. Each attribute is available through calling the method of its name, ie \fBInheritances()\fR. The methods available are :
.PP
Operations, Attributes, Inheritances, Dependencies, Parent, and has_child. The first 4 return a list, the later return a string.
.PP
Adding elements to the Autodia::Diagram::Class is achieved through the add_<attribute> methods, ie \fBadd_inheritance()\fR.
.PP
Rather than remove an element from the diagram it is marked as redundant and replaced with a superseding element, as Autodia::Diagram::Class has highest precedence it won't be superseded and so doesn't have a \fBredundant()\fR method. Superclass and Component do.
.SS "Accessing and manipulating the Autodia::Diagram::Class"
.IX Subsection "Accessing and manipulating the Autodia::Diagram::Class"
\&\f(CW$Class\fR\->\fBAttributes()\fR, \fBInheritances()\fR, \fBOperations()\fR, and \fBDependencies()\fR all return a list of their respective elements.
.PP
\&\f(CW$Class\fR\->\fBParent()\fR, and \fBhas_child()\fR return the value of the parent or child respectively if present otherwise a false.
.PP
\&\f(CW$Class\fR\->\fBadd_attribute()\fR, \fBadd_inheritance()\fR, \fBadd_operation()\fR, and \fBadd_dependancy()\fR all add a new element of their respective types.
