Is it possible to include an actor in a sequence diagram
I am new to UML & MyUML. I am looking at the “Agile Modeling” tutorial which has a hand-drawn sequence diagram depicting system usage scenarios. Included in the diagrams are the different actors, represented as stick-men as distinct from what I would have expected, the Class icon.
Is this the author being casual, or should this be possible to draw?
It is possible to draw this; what one normally does is associate an icon with a given stereotype (e.g. associate a stick-man icon with the stereotype “Actor”), then you stereotype the objects in your sequence diagram as “Actors”. I haven’t had any luck doing this in MyEclipse, but I haven’t spent a lot of time trying, either.
