XML Schema diagram

 Introduction

<oXygen/> provides a simple, expressive and easy to read Schema Diagram View for XML Schema schemas.

With this new feature you can easily develop complex schemas, print them on multiple pages or save them as JPEG, PNG and BMP images. It helps both schema authors in developing the schema and content authors that are using the schema to understand it.

<oXygen/> is the only XML Editor to provide a side by side source and diagram presentation and have them synchronized in real-time:

  • the changes you make in the Editor will immediately be visible in the Diagram (no background parsing).

  • changing the selected element in the diagram will select the underlaying code in the source editor.

The diagram image can be zoomed with one of the predefined factors available on the Schema toolbar: 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%, 200%, 300% or with a custom factor that can be defined on the same toolbar. Also the zoom factor is used by the print and save actions applied on the diagram.
