N-Squared Diagram

Last modified on June 12th, 2020.

The 'N-Squared Diagram' is a matrix used to visualize the relationships between Actions and Inputs/Outputs. This diagram conforms to the LML Specification 1.1 definition of an 'N-Squared Matrix.' The 'N-Squared Diagram' is not composed of special diagram constructs. In fact, an 'N-Squared Diagram' can be generated by Innoslate on the fly based on the current contents of your project’s database. The 'N-Squared Diagram' is built using entities in the database of the 'Action' and 'Input/Output' classes. The actions display as blocks within the matrix, and the I/Os show as text within the matrix.
