Bottom Line

ArgoUML's user interface is divided into 4 panels: Top left: a hierarchical view of the current project file, Top right: editor for the selected part of the project, in this case a class diagram, Bottom left: the designer's "to do" list and Bottom right: details of the selected object in the diagram or the selected "to do" item.
