Hi:OK, so a UML diagram is like a FlowChart then. I would think that having some vision would make the process of turning UML into an accessible format and creating UML documents possible. For me, it might not be so doable since I couldn't see the UML to check out the Line connections nor the various boxes and other diagram tools. I also noted that MS used VISIO in at least one of their UML modules and VISIO was a real, huge, mess to try and script so it is also likely to be a mess to try and convert from and to some accessible format. Allot would depend on how far the previous author got in coding up the interface to the UML document considering the Lines and other Graphical entities used in standard UML diagrams. The concept seems straight forward enough but the problem would be the software used to create and process a UML Diagram, VISIO is frightening to think of, and if the various lines and graphical entities are already in place. It seems I remember reading, some time ago, that a application or whatever could be generated using a UML Diagram. Likely the Class or other tags since the diagram would likely not hold code itself. Also, there is likely support for generating UML diagrams from a Project itself. All these things would seem to be dependent on the software processing the UML. It could be quite a complicated project requiring sighted help to implement. Do you know what version of VS it was developed in and how far the original author got in his efforts?

I'm not sure if they need to take diagrams and turn them into something that can be consumed nonvisually or not.

Is that what it is or is there more to it? What features are the UML folks looking for? I am just curious since I know how to plod around the VS IDE a little.

*sigh* once again this is done in dot net, part appears to be done in vb.net and another section seems to be in C#.net inthane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stanzel, Susan - Kansas City, MO" <susan.stanzel@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2011 5:30 AM Subject: RE: UML tool Hi Elf, What language is this written in?
