Tool for Transaction Use Tables (TTUT). ------------------------------------------------- According to this modeling technique, this table has five columns. The entries in row 0 are initialized with the labels Create, Read, Update and Delete. The entries in column 0 contain transaction names. The other entries contain zero or more object class (or entity type) names. More about the constraints on TUTs can be found in chapter 7 of the user's guide and more about the use of this notation technique can be found in appendix A of the user's guide. Table Editors in General. ------------------------- All table editors are very similar. With each table editor you can create and manipulate textual tables, i.e. tables in which the cells are filled with a multi-line text string. When you start up a table editor, or issue the New command in a table editor, a new table is created having N x M empty cells (by default, N = 7 and M = 5). New rows and columns of empty cells can be created with the Add Row and Add Column commands. Selected rows and columns can be deleted with the Delete Rows and Delete Columns commands. By default, the table is positioned on the drawing area having its top-left corner a little right below the top-left corner of the drawing area. You can reposition the entire table by means of the four arrow buttons in the bottom-left corner of the main window. The page boundaries are displayed. If you print the table or save it as plain PostScript, the table is positioned on the printed page exactly as it is positioned on the drawing area (what you see is what you print). Each row and each column has an order number label. These labels are used to select an entire row or column or to move an entire row or column to a new position. These labels cannot be edited or printed. In the View menu there is an option to hide the labels. Specific Table editors impose certain constraints on the tables that are being edited. These are either immediately enforced (an attempted violation is immediately prevented) or soft constraints (the editor warns it, after it is asked to check the drawing). The soft constraints are checked by the Check Document command in the Document menu.
