Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) It would be nice if umbrello could create and edit good old flowcharts.
greatbunzinni@gmail.com <greatbunzinni@gmail.com> [050915 00:19]: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail] Flowcharts are not part of UML. You can use all the different dynamic diagrams like sequence, activity, state, and collaboration diagrams instead. This should be really enough to visualise any dynamic you can think of. Therefore I like to ask you to close this feature request, because it really does not make sense. Sebastian
Or use Kivio, a general diagramming program.
So what's the best way to represent algorithms in UML? Activity diagrams? AFAICS they aren't as flexible as flowcharts.

My personal opinion is that you should not use UML to describe algorithms. You should use UML on a more abstract level like interface design, component collaboration and so forth. If you want to describe an algorithm like quick sort then use for example a flow chart tool. Anyhow, in such a case Umbrello is just not the right tool for the task. Sebastian
Why not using state diagrams ?
