QUICKSTART: jump straight to one of the UML model element and diagram reports for the Flag Plus contributed module:

- The full gallery or the icon gallery of UML diagrams for Flag Plus.

- The UML element overview table of all UML model elements for Flag Plus.

This zone introduces unique graphical Unified Modeling Language (UML) models of the Flag Plus contributed module from Webel IT Australia, which module is under migration from an old-style non-OO Drupal7 project to a Webel-style UML-friendlier OOP project (although it deliberately does not yet integrate with the fully OO bridge of the OOE = Object Oriented Examples = One Of Each tutorial module).

Good places to start the tour through the diagrams include the overview diagram below as well as: the top level flagplus.module, the includes model package (with include files that delegate to the OO layer), and the increasingly object-oriented Drupal\flagplus model package and sub-packages . You won't get lost as all diagram pages have rich cross-links between dependent model elements.

To find out more about the why and how please visit also:

- Q: What UML modelling tool and what methodology are you using ?

- Q: What is the gist of the Webel modelling recipe for UML as applied to PHP ?

- Q: What is the point of the exercise and if you are such a keen UML/OOP nut why are there still so many static helper classes in this Flag Plus UML demo instead of classes that implement interfaces (design by contract) ?

Description
This overview diagram of the entire Flag Plus module system is more graphically complex than is usually recommended ! See also within this zone the dedicated linked "focus" diagrams for each analysis model element with only its nearest neighbour model elements.
