Supported model / Presentation list

A part of the class structure of Astah API is different from the one of UML metamodel.
Astah API has a simplified structure. Some of abstract model elements in the UML metamodel inheritance structure are eliminated because they would not be instantiated as model elements. See Structure details: All Diagrams in Javadoc

Supported Models
