12 APPENDIX I: MENUS, B U T T O N S , A N D I C O N S Icons from Modules and Profile mechanism Icon Title Description Realization A realization is a specialized abstraction relationship between two sets of model elements, one representing a specification (the supplier) and the other represents an implementation of the latter (the client). Component Realization A component realization concept is specialized in the Components package to (optionally) define the Classifiers that realize the contract offered by a component in terms of its provided and required interfaces. Reply Message A reply message is a reply message to an operation call. Role Binding A role binding is a mapping between features of the collaboration type and features of the classifier or operation. This mapping indicates which connectable element of the classifier or operation plays which role(s) in the collaboration. Substitution A substitution is a relationship between two classifiers which signifies that the substitutingClassifier complies with the contract specified by the contract classifier. Template Binding A template binding represents a relationship between a templateable element and a template. Transition A state transition usually has an event attached to it, but it is not necessary to attach one. If an event is attached to a state transition, the state transition will be performed when the event occurs. Usage A usage is a relationship in which one element requires another element (or set of elements) for its full implementation or operation. Icons from Modules and Profile mechanism Module, Profile, and Shared package model elements have their own icons, which are represented in the MagicDraw Browser. You may see the icons, their titles, and descriptions in the following table. Icon Title Description Module If you have (or developing) a large model, which has several weakly dependent parts, it is advisable to split it into several module files. Partitioning has a package level granularity. Profile A Profile is a kind of Package that extends a reference metamodel. The primary extension construct is the Stereotype, which is defined as part of Profiles. Profile Model Library exported as module This icon depicts a profile with applied Model Library stereotype. A package that contains model elements that are intended to be reused by other packages. 821 Copyright © 1998-2011 No Magic, Inc..
