Changing the Size of Transition Icons

The default size of transition icons is fairly small. As a result, the name of a transition may well not fit on the rectangle that represents the transition. If you encounter this problem, you can change the size of the transition icons in your state diagram.

Note    You can't change the size of a single transition icon. A resize operation affects all the transition icons in the current state diagram.

  To change the size of the transition icons in a diagram:

1. Right-click one of the transition icons in the diagram, and select Size from the pop-up menu that is displayed.

   The State/Transition Size dialog appears.

   The rectangle beneath the Transition Size label indicates the current size of the transition icons.

2. Drag the handles on the Transition Size rectangle to change the width or height of the rectangle.
3. Select the OK button.

   The width and height of the transition icons in your diagram are resized to match the size of the Transition Size rectangle.

   Tip    Your state diagram will look better if the names of your transitions (triggers) are not too long.
