Its own manual describes the signalling-chart engine as a heavily extended and completely rewritten version of Michael C. McTernan's mscgen 0.08, with the focus shifted from interprocess communication toward networking. It kept command-line compatibility with mscgen so tools wired to mscgen, including Doxygen workflows, could use Msc-generator as a drop-in renderer, and version 4.5 added a dedicated mscgen compatibility mode. ### Wie es verwendet wird The project expanded beyond classic Message Sequence Charts. The README records a Windows GUI with OLE embedding in version 2.2, a new drawing engine in version 3.0, Graphviz DOT graph support in version 5.0, a block-diagram language in version 6.0, a Linux and macOS GUI launched with `msc-gen --gui` in version 7.0, and a new Office-document embedding method in version 8.0. In practice, users write chart descriptions as text and render signalling charts, Graphviz-style graphs, or block diagrams through `msc-gen` or the GUI, with output suitable for documentation and Office documents. Its package niche is the richer successor to mscgen: heavier than the small original tool, but broader in chart types, GUI support, and document embedding. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. -
