<p>The main editor allows to describe models through diagrams as in this example, through text (e.g.,
for code specifications), through tables/trees (e.g., data dictionary), or through forms (e.g.,
requirements). In diagram or tree editors, the models can be edited by drag and dropping elements
from the Model Elements pane, or by right-clicking the elements in the model navigator.</p>
