Issue 7268: UML diagram interchange: unit of measurement (uml2di-ftf) Source: International Business Machines (Mr. Bran Selic, selic@acm.org selicb@ca.ibm.com bran.selic@gmail.com) Nature: Uncategorized Issue Severity: Summary: The coordinate system assumes ‘pixel’ to be the unit of measurement. Often publishing applications use a physical measurement instead (like himetric). Do we need to consider that? Which is more common for the types of applications in consideration? Resolution: Revised Text: Actions taken: April 22, 2004: received issue November 1, 2005: closed issue Discussion: The relative coordinates and size is important for the layout of the diagrams not the absolute measurement. The scaling of the presentation depends on the representation medium. The unit 'pixel' can be easily handled. It was one goal of the standard not to redefine complex graphic issues like measurement or color systems but to preserve the layout information which are important for the readily understanding of the model. (Previously recommended Disposition: Resolved, no change has to be made) Based on the concerns from FTF members and the inability to develop a revised resolution within the given timeframe, this issue has been deferred and should be re-addressed in the future Diagram Interchange RTF. Disposition: Deferred.
