Re: Couldn't find Composition symbol in UML in dia windows while aggregation is there.

Hi Sujit,

So, now you are experiencing open source software.  We all hope you get you moneys worth ;-) 

Whoever created the symbols for the UML sheet apparently did not need the composition symbol.

You have a couple choices how to deal with this.

Learn to create your own symbols and add it to the sheet is probably the best and most likely solution.

Next best, in order to work around learning to make symbols and sheets, you can simply create from Dia entities a symbol that looks the way you want it.  Group it, and copy and paste it whenever you need it.

The third option is to persuade someone else to volunteer to make it and enter it into the sheet.  Keep in mind that it is no one's job to do this.  You need to persuade some to take on this task for you,  

You will need to present very clearly exactly what you want.  No one will want to volunteer to make it and then find out it isn't what you had in mind.  It is not clear to me that there is a universal set of UML symbols (but I do not use them so that is no surprise).  If I knew how to make shapes, I still would have no idea what your composition symbol should look like. 

But, even then, it is entirely possible that no one will want to volunteer, so be prepared.  it would not be personal rejection, it might be that no one has time.
