Zovo State Diagram

Use this when the user wants a UML state diagram or state machine drawn, for example "draw the states of an order" or "make a PDF of this state machine". Takes the diagram text in a line grammar: state Name / state "Long label" as Name / state Name <<choice>> / state Name { ... } (composite, nest up to 3); [*] -> A (start), A -> [*] (end); A -> B: event [guard] / action; A -> A: event (self); note A: text; # comments. When the user describes the machine in words, write it in this grammar first. Returns counts, states, transitions in input order, the machine check (unreachable states, states with no path to the end, non-deterministic transitions), a check on the drawing, the PDF page count, an interactive diagram, and PDF, SVG and CSV downloads. Refuses a line outside the grammar with its line number and token. Up to 80 states and 300 transitions. Does not read fork, join, history or concurrent regions. Download links of large diagrams expire after about 1 hour.

Use this when the user wants state machine text checked without a drawing, for example "which states are unreachable?" or "check my state diagram for dead ends". Takes the same diagram text as make_state_diagram. Returns ready true or false; when a line breaks the grammar, the line number, the token and the reason; otherwise the states with incoming and outgoing transition counts, states not reachable from the start, states with no path to the end (both by breadth-first search; a composite state is entered through its own start), and transitions that leave the same state on the same event and guard. Does not draw the diagram or make files, and does not read fork, join, history or concurrent regions.
