Press Release Summary: Trace Modeler is an easy to use and smart editor for UML
sequence diagrams

Press Release Body: Heule, Belgium -- December 17, 2007 -- TraceModeler.com has
released Trace Modeler v1.0, an easy-to-use and smart UML sequence diagram editor.
This cross-platform development tool runs on any modern operating system. Trace
Modeler is the first product on the market to combine the immediate and automatic
layout of UML sequence diagrams with a simple drag and drop interface.

Trace Modeler is designed to optimize developer productivity when working with UML
sequence diagrams. It can be used by any development team for brainstorming and
prototyping the design of new systems, or for the documentation of existing ones.

Trace Modeler\'s main benefit is that it can save developers a tremendous amount of
time. It instantly updates a diagram\'s layout whenever it changes, freeing the user
to focus on the actual content. Furthermore, its layout engine ensures that every
diagram is visually pleasing and structurally correct.

At the heart of its technology lies an understanding of the flow of control in
sequence diagrams. As a result, ideas can be expressed almost instantly with Trace
Modeler.

The visual appearance of a diagram is controlled by a handful of style settings.
These enable the user to give it a consistent look with just a few clicks. Trace
Modeler also offers a couple of unique features such as splitting activations,
inlining message calls, smart flow-based comment connectors, right-to-left diagram
layout and full bidi-text support for non-Western scripts, automatic object
lifetimes and control flow highlighting.

Diagrams are stored in a simple and readable text-based file format, ideal for
versioning systems and file comparison tools. This format makes it easy to generate
sequence diagrams with other tools or from running code, and visualize them with
Trace Modeler. Diagrams can be exported to various popular graphics formats and the
clipboard. It also offers a batch export feature that can be used from the
command-line for easy integration into any automated documentation process.

Trace Modeler is extremely portable: it works on all major platforms, requires no
installation and has very accommodating license terms.

A single-user license costs $119 and significant academic and volume discounts are
available. Licenses can be ordered through the TraceModeler.com website.

A free, fully functional evaluation version is available for download.
