Working with the Router
The router is accessed from an activity chart. For more information on activity charts, see Activity Charts. The activity chart editor includes two drawing icons for the router element.
Statemate supports the following two types of routers:
● Internal router - The internal router (or simply “router”) represents router blocks used within the scope of the top-most activity in a particular activity chart.
Internal routers are shown in blue, with a solid line at the top and bottom of the box, and hashed lines for each side.
● External router - The external router represents router blocks used outside the scope of the top-most activity in a particular activity chart. Because activity charts are hierarchical, an external router is always resolved to an internal router in a chart higher in the chart hierarchy.
External routers are shown in blue, with hashed lines at the top, bottom, and each side.
