Method Detail

updateView

public void updateView()

Description copied from class: Message

Creates some space on the diagram, so that the message arrow and its label can be drawn, then draws them and creates some more space. Changes the state of the diagram so that the effects of the message are reflected. When creating space, the lifelines that do not participate in the message must be drawn according to their current state (via Message.extendLifelines(int).
