Abstract

The UML notation is intended to be drawn on two-dimensional surfaces. However, three-dimensional diagram layout and animation may improve comprehension of complex diagrams significantly. The paper concentrates on special UML diagram forms wellsuited for advanced visualization. It makes a proposal for representing and animating such UML diagrams in a three-dimensional style.
