Not sure if this Notation for Architecture Diagram is acceptable #118

Open DeetoMok opened 4 years ago

DeetoMok commented 4 years ago

There is an Architecture diagram posted on the addressbook example which I am unsure if is acceptable, as I dont think I recall this notation following any diagram that was taught to us. Thus I would like to check if this diagram is acceptable, and if so, what it means.

@DeetoMok In the context of this module, there is no 'standard' notation for architecture diagrams. image

@damithc In the context of this diagram, what does the three dotted arrow pointing into commons mean?

Sorry, I missed that part of the question. Answer: It's supposed to mean all other components depend on the Common. Drawing all those dependency lines fully would make the diagram hard to read. Hence, only the end part of those arrows are shown. Main is linked to all other components but a similar shorthand notation is used to reduce clutter.
