Standard tab.

See Section 18.6.2, “Class Property Toolbar” and Section 18.6.3, “Property Fields For Class” below.

Standard tab. See Section 13.4, “Documentation Tab”.

Standard tab. The tick boxes, Attributes and Operations allow the attributes and operations compartments to be shown (the default) or hidden. This is a setting valid for only the current diagram that shows the class. The editable Bounds field defines the bounding box for the package on the diagram.

Standard tab. This contains a template for the class declaration and declarations of associated classes.

Standard tab. There are no standard constraints defined for Class within the UML metamodel.

Standard tab.

Standard tab. In the UML metamodel, Class has the following standard tagged values defined.

	Note
	The UML Element metaclass from which all other model elements are derived includes the tagged element documentation which is handled by the documentation tab under ArgoUML

Standard tab for a Classifier.

Navigate up through the package structure.

This creates a new attribute (see Section 18.7, “Attribute”) within the class, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that attribute.

This creates a new operation (see Section 18.8, “Operation”) within the class, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that operation.

This creates a new reception, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that reception.

This creates a new inner class (which appears on no diagram) within the class. This belongs to the class and is restricted to the namespace of the class. It exactly models the Java concept of inner class. As an inner class it needs no attributes or operations, since it shares those of its owner.

	Note
	Inner class is not a separate concept in UML. This is a convenient shorthand for creating a class that is restricted to the namespace of its owning class.

This creates a new class (which appears on no diagram) within the same namespace as the current class.

This creates a new Stereotype (see Section 16.6, “Stereotype”) for the selected class, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that stereotype.

This deletes the class from the model

	Warning
	This is a deletion from the model not just the diagram. To delete a class from the diagram, but keep it within the model, use the main menu Remove From Diagram (or press the Delete key).

Text box. The name of the class. The name of a class has a leading capital letter, with words separated by “bumpy caps”.

	Note
	The ArgoUML critics will complain about class names that do not have an initial capital.

Drop down selector with navigation button. Records and allows setting of the namespace for the class. This is the package hierarchy.

Button 1 click on the entry will move the class to the selected namespace.

Check box, with entries Abstract, Leaf, Root, and Active.

Radio box, with four entries public, private, protected, and package. Indicates whether the class is visible outside the namespace.

Text area. Lists the “depending” ends of the relationship, i.e. the end that makes use of the other end.

Button 1 double click navigates to the dependency and opens its property tab.

Button 2 click shows a pop-up menu with one entry Add... that opens a dialog box where you can add and remove depending modelelements.

Text area. Lists the “supplying” ends of the relationship, i.e. the end supplying what is needed by the other end.

Button 1 double click navigates to the dependency and opens its property tab.

Button 2 click shows a pop-up menu with one entry Add... that opens a dialog box where you can add and remove dependent modelelements.

Text area. Lists any class that generalizes this class.

Button 1 double click navigates to the generalization and opens its property tab.

Text box. Lists any specialized class (i.e. for which this class is a generalization).

Button 1 double click navigates to the generalization and opens its property tab.

Text area. Lists all the attributes (see Section 18.7, “Attribute”) defined for this class. Button 1 double click navigates to the selected attribute. Button 2 gives a pop up menu with two entries, which allow reordering the attributes.

Text box. Lists any association ends (see Section 18.12, “Association”) of associations connected to this class.

Button 1 double click navigates to the selected entry.

Text area. Lists all the operations (see Section 18.8, “Operation”) defined on this class. Button 1 click navigates to the selected operation. Button 2 gives a pop up menu with two entries, which allow reordering the operations.

Text area. A listing of model elements contained within the classes' namespace. This is where any inner class (see Section 18.6.2, “Class Property Toolbar”) will appear

Button 1 double click on any of the model elements navigates to that model element.

	Tip
	Most namespace hierarchies should be managed through the package mechanism. Namespace hierarchies through classes are best restricted to inner classes. Conceivable datatypes, signals and interfaces could also appear here, but actors and use cases would seem of no value.
