Description-en: Message Sequence Chart (MSC) generator
mscgen is a small program that parses Message Sequence Chart
descriptions and produces PNG, SVG, EPS or server side image
maps (ismaps) as the output. Message Sequence Charts (MSCs)
are a way of representing entities and interactions over some
time period and are often used in combination with SDL. MSCs
are popular in Telecoms to specify how protocols operate.
.
mscgen can be used to create in-line MSC-charts in documentations
parsed by doxygen. Extensions also exists for Python's Sphinx and
mediawiki that can use mscgen.
