% \section{Introduction}
%
%    \ExpressG{} is an ISO international standard graphical information 
% modeling
% language~\cite{STEP11,EBOOK}, and is a subset of the \Express{} lexical
% object-flavoured information modeling language. Like most graphical
% modeling languages, \ExpressG{} diagrams consist of boxes, lines, and
% annotations associated with the boxes and the lines. As a colleague
% of mine once put it, these kinds of graphical languages are BLA 
% (boxes, lines, annotations) with respect to lexical languages.
%
%    \Mpost~\cite{MPOST} is a powerful lexical language for producing
% \EPS\footnote{\PS{} is a registered trademark of Adobe
% Systems Incorporated.} diagrams, and is based on the \Mfont~\cite{MFONT} 
% language for creating fonts.
%
%    The \Lpack{expressg} package provides extensions to the base
% \Mpost{} language to facilitate the creation of \ExpressG{} diagrams.
% The package may also be used as is, or certainly by
% extension, for the creation of other BLA diagrams. 
%
%    \Mpost{} is typically used to generate pictures for inclusion
% in \LaTeX{} documents~\cite{LATEX}. By default it uses \TeX{} for
% typesetting any text; this behaviour can be modified so that \LaTeX{}
% is used instead. If standard \PS{} fonts (like Times) are
% used, then \LaTeX{} typesetting may be avoided altogether. Running
% \Mpost{} and methods of including \Mpost{} diagrams in (pdf)LaTeX
% documents are described in~\cite{METAFP}.
%
%
%    The \Lpack{expressg} package has been some years 
% in the making. For
% occasional diagrams I got by with using either the simple \LaTeX{}
% picture commands, 
% or general GUI drawing packages. As time went on and the number
% and complexity of the diagrams increased it became, to me at least, more
% important to use a robust and powerful drawing language than fancy
% GUI packages. This was especially important if a diagram had to be
% changed at a later date, as the language denoted exactly how the drawing
% had been produced. With the GUI tools all that you had was the picture
% and whatever graphics file format the tool used --- there was no 
% user-sensible record
% of how any result was achieved. Also, generally speaking I find it quicker
% to use \Mpost{} than a GUI tool as too much time has to be spent using
% a mouse or a cursor to reposition and rescale the drawing elements.
% 
%    Section~\ref{sec:usc} describes the facilities provided by the package.
% Several worked 
% example diagrams are presented in Section~\ref{sec:example}, together
% with information on how to run \Mpost.
% Commented code for the package macros\footnote{If requested, 
% I may be prepared to consider providing additional macros, but no promises.}
% is in Section~\ref{sec:mf}.
%
%    It is assumed that the reader has some understanding of \Mpost, although
% the example in Section~\ref{sec:example} does provide an 
% \textit{aide-memoire} for most of the \Mpost{} constructs that are likely
% to be used in creating BLA diagrams. The definitive \Mpost{}
% manual is~\cite{MPOST} but both~\cite{HOENIG98} and~\cite{GOOSSENS97}
% give some interesting examples of how to use it; in fact the front cover
% of Hoenig's book is a \Mpost{} picture. 
% Similarly, some familiarity with
% BLA diagramming would be of assistance.
%
%    I suggest that on first reading it may be sensible to skim
% Section~\ref{sec:usc} first 
% and then peruse the example in Section~\ref{sec:example} more closely. 
% After this
% go back and re-read Section~\ref{sec:usc} as it then should make 
% more sense.
%
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%
%
% \section{The \Lpack{expressg} package} \label{sec:usc}
%
% \subsection{Internal variables}
%
% The package includes several internal variables that are initialised to
% commonly appropriate values.
%    This section describes the principal internal variables. 
% Short descriptions
% of the others, which
% are likely to be used in diagrams only very occasionally, can be found
% in Section~\ref{sec:mf}.
%
%    The values of internal variables in \Mpost{} can only be changed via
% assignment. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% internal_variable := expression;
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeVariable{u}
% \DescribeVariable{maxx}
% \DescribeVariable{maxy}
% |u| is the value of the unit of length for a diagram; it is initialised
% to 1mm. All lengths, except for line thicknesses,
%  are defined in terms of |u|. 
% |maxx| and |maxy| are the maximum x and y coordinate values
% for a diagram. These are initialised to the maximum size for a diagram
% within an ISO standard document (i.e., |maxx:=159.5u| and |maxy:=210u|).
%
%    The next set of variables control the thickness of lines and the
% dimensions of line end styles.
%
% \DescribeVariable{normalpen}
% Lines with normal linethickness are drawn with |normalpen|.
%
% \DescribeVariable{thickpen}
% Thick lines are drawn with |thickpen|.
%
% \DescribeVariable{thinpenpen}
% Thin lines are drawn with |thinpen|.
%
% \DescribeVariable{dotspen}
% Dotted lines are drawn with |dotspen|.
%
% \DescribeVariable{dotpen}
%  |dotpen| is for drawing the black dot line end style.
%
% \DescribeVariable{dotdiam}
% |dotdiam| is the diameter of an open circle or dot line end style.
%
% \DescribeVariable{smoothrad}
% |smoothrad| is the radius of the circular arc used to round the join between
% two straight lines.
%
% \DescribeVariable{drumlid}
% |drumlid| is the ratio of the minor to major diameter of the ellipse
% forming the top of the drum box; the larger the value the more the 
% apparent viewpoint shifts to above the drum. The default value is 0.2.

% \end{figure}
%
%
% \DescribeVariable{gal}
% \DescribeVariable{gab}
% An arrowhead is defined by the height of the triangle and the base of
% the triangle forming the arrowhead, as shown in \fref{fig:trifan}. 
% |gal| and |gab| are the length 
% and base width of arrows for arrowed line end styles. 
% 
% \DescribeVariable{gfl}
% \DescribeVariable{gfb}
% Like an arrowhead, a fanin is defined by the height and the base of
% the triangular fan shape, as shown in \fref{fig:trifan}. 
% |gfl| and |gfb| are the length and base
% width of fans for fanin line end styles. They are initialised to the
% default values.
%
%    The next set of variables control certain geometric aspects of
% the various \ExpressG{} boxes.
%
% \DescribeVariable{onelineh}
% |onelineh| is the minimum height of a box that encloses a single
% line of text. This is initialised to |5u|.

%  \caption{Parameters for (inset) boxes}\label{fig:bool}
% \end{figure}
%
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbl}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbh}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbs}
% The length (|sdtbl|), height (|sdtbh|) and line inset (|sdtbs|) for 
% simple data type boxes (e.g., a BOOLEAN data type box), as illustrated
% in \fref{fig:bool}. These are
% initialised as |22u|, |onelineh| and |2u| respectively.
% 
% \DescribeVariable{sdtebl}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtebh}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtebs}
% The length (|sdtebl|), height (|sdtebh|) and line inset (|sdtebs|) 
% for a simple data type EXPRESSION box. The value of |sdtebl| is |28u|,
% and the other values are the same as for the other simple data type boxes.
%
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbgel}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbgeh}
% \DescribeVariable{sdtbges}
% The length (|sdtbgel|), height (|sdtbgeh|) and inset for GENERICENT
% data type boxes. The value of |sdtbgel| is |38u|,
% and the other values are the same as for the other simple data type boxes.
%
% \DescribeVariable{pconl}
% \DescribeVariable{pconh}
% The length (|pconl|) of an average numeric (proxy) page connector 
% (e.g., for |(9,9 (9,9))|) 
% and the height (|pconh|)  
% of an average page connector, which is initialised for one line of text.
%
% \DescribeVariable{enth}
% \DescribeVariable{typeh}
% \DescribeVariable{schemah}
% The heights of an average entity (|enth|), 
% type --- including enumeration and select --- (|typeh|),
% and schema (|schemah|) boxes. These are all initialised to cater for
% one line of text.
%
% \DescribeVariable{ish}
% \DescribeVariable{isrh}
% |ish| is the height of an interschema reference box with one line of text.
% |isrh| is the height of an interschema reference box with a rename, where
% there is one line of text each for the original and renamed
% names.
%
% \DescribeVariable{eventh}
% \DescribeVariable{eventslope}
% The height (|eventh|) of a one-lined event box, and the slope (|eventslope|)
% of the sides of an
% event box (e.g., 0.25 or 1/4).
%
%    The next set of variables control the amount of space surrounding text
% on \ExpressG{} diagrams.
%
% \DescribeVariable{nextra}
% |nextra| is the margin around names when put into entity, schema, 
% interschema reference,
% page connector, and event boxes.
% 
% \DescribeVariable{niextra}
% |niextra| is the margin around names when put into type boxes.
% 
% \DescribeVariable{ndextra}
% |ndextra| is the margin around names when used on attribute lines.
%
% \subsection{Routines}
%
% The principal aspects of an \ExpressG{} diagram are lines and line ends of 
% various styles, and boxes of several different kinds. Many routines
% are provided for positioning and drawing these on a diagram.
%
%    The following sections describe most of the routines. Short descriptions
% of the others, which
% are effectively only used as internal support routines, can be found
% in Section~\ref{sec:mf}.
%
%     A note on naming conventions used in describing the routines:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item As usual with \Mpost, a name starting with |z| is a point, and
% names staring with |x| or |y| are x- and y-coordinates respectively.
% \item The letters |i| through |n| denote (point, coordinate) suffixes.
%       Suffixes are usually a number, such as |37|, but may also have 
%       alphanumeric characters after the number (e.g., |37C2D|).
% \end{itemize}
%
%
% \subsubsection{Utility routines}
%
% Several utility routines are provided defining some shortcuts and 
% to ease some of the calculations
% that may be required when producing a diagram.
%
% \DescribeRoutine{VH}
% |VH(j, k)| calculates the intersection point, |zjvh|, between the vertical
% line through the point |zj| and the horizontal line through the point |zk|,
% as shown in \fref{fig:vhvh}.
%
%     
% \DescribeRoutine{VhV}
% |VhV(j, k)| calculates the point |zjvhv| on the vertical line through
% the point |zj| and the point |zkvhv| on the vertical line through the
% point |zk|, such that the line |zjvhv--zkvhv| is horizontal and centered
% vertically between the two given points,
% as shown in \fref{fig:vhvh}.

% \subsubsection{Box drawing routines}
%
%    Routines are provided for drawing the different kinds of \ExpressG{} 
% boxes.
%
%    The first argument to the box drawing routines is the suffix of the
% point that will be the left-hand bottom corner point of the box. The
% last argument, except where noted below, is the text that is to be placed
% at the center of the box. Intermediate arguments, if any, are the length
% and height of the box.
%
%  Every box routine calculates the four corner points of the box and the 
% midpoints of each side of the box. For example, if the suffix is |j|,
% then as illustrated in figure~\ref{fig:boxpoints}, the corner points
% will be called |zjbl|, |zjbr|, |zjtr| and |zjtl| and the midpoints
% will be called |zjbm|, |zjmr|, |zjtm| and |zjml|. The center point for
% postioning the text is |zjc| and the center of the text is placed at
% this point. 
%
%    The text center point is not necessarily the geometric center of the box.
% The geometric center is not calculated but lies at the intersection of
% the lines |zjml--zjmr| and |zjbm--zjtm|.

% \section{An example} \label{sec:example}
%
%    The example attempts to bring out the main methods that can be used
% in defining \ExpressG{} diagrams. The code for eleven diagrams is provided, none
% of which necessarily has anything to do with a real example of \ExpressG{}
% modeling, but rather is meant to be illustrative of diagramming techniques.
%
%    This section is best studied with a copy of the printed diagrams to
% hand. Section~\ref{sec:run} on \pref{sec:run} explains briefly how
% to run the example and obtain the diagrams.
% 
%    The default extension for a \Mpost{} file is \file{.mp}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*eg>
%%% EXPEG.MP  Example MetaPost EXPRESS-G diagrams

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Assuming that the diagrams are to be eventually embedded in, or processed
% through, a \LaTeX{} document then any \TeX{} macros must come at the
% start of the file between a |verbatimtex| \ldots |etex| pair. When dealing
% with text, \Mpost{} does not handle more than a single line. The macro
% below is to enable two lines of text to be handled by \Mpost.
%     
%    \begin{macrocode}

% use btex \twolines{first}{second} etex for two-line labels
verbatimtex \def\twolines#1#2{\vbox{\hbox{#1} \hbox{#2}}} etex

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The \Lpack{expressg} package file has to be input to make the routines
% available.
%    \begin{macrocode}
input expressg

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Diagram 1: Some boxes and lines}
%
%   Many diagrams can be defined in one file. Each diagram starts with
% |beginfig(N)|, where N is a unique integer, and ends with |endfig;|.
% \EPS{} for each diagram is written to a file called
% \file{mproot.N}, where \file{mproot} is the root name of the input file. 
% In our
% case the output files will be \file{expeg.1} through \file{expeg.11}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
beginfig(1)

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The first diagram consists of some of the \Lpack{expressg} box and line styles.
% The main point is to illustrate how \Mpost{} allows the boxes to be aligned.
% Start off by defining a point |z1| at the origin. By default, a variable name
% starting with the letter |z| is assumed to be a point. Similarly, variables
% starting with |x| and |y| are assumed to be x- and y-coordinates. If |zk|
% is defined with a value then automatically |xk| is the value of the x 
% coordinate of 
% the point |zk| and |yk| is the value of the
% y coordinate. Conversely, if |xj| and |yj| are defined, |zj| is automatically
% defined.
%
%    Note that the |=| sign denotes an equation, not an assignment. The power
% of \Mpost{} comes from its ability to solve linear equations.
%
%    Having defined the point |z1|, draw an EXPRESSION box with its bottom
% left hand corner at |z1|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z1=(0,0);
drawEXPRESSION(1);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Remember that when a box is drawn, its corner and mid points are 
% calculated. These can be used in defining other points. In particular
% there is the point |z1tr| which is the top right hand corner
% of the EXPRESSION box. Also, if another box is drawn at point |z2| then
% it will have its bottom left hand corner at |z2bl|.
%
%    The point |z2bl| is defined by a linear equation with respect to
% the point |z2|. As \Mpost{} can solve linear equations, given the
% point |z2bl| it can solve for the point |z2|. 
%
%    The next box has its bottom left hand corner at the top right hand
% corner of the EXPRESSION box, by specifying that the
% point |z2bl| and |z1tr| are the same location and then drawing a box located
% at |z2|. The third (BOOLEAN) box is also stacked in the same way with 
% respect to the second (INTEGER) box.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
z2bl=z1tr;
drawINTEGER(2);

z3bl=z2tr;
drawBOOLEAN(3);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Next a piece of circled text is drawn. Using the same method as before,
% the bottom of the circle is made to be coincident with the middle of the top
% of the BOOLEAN box. The |namespace| routine is used to specify the circle
% diameter. Note that an argument to a routine can itself be a routine.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z4bm=z3tm;
drawcirclebox(4, namespace(btex ABS etex)(nextra))(btex ABS etex);

%
% \Mpost{} is a typed language, and new variables can be declared of a
% particular type. A |numeric| variable holds a number (or a length).
% The diameter of the circle just drawn is going to be used as a length
% in later parts of this diagram, so it is sensible to store its value
% in a new variable called |diam|. We then use it in drawing another
% circle directly on top of the first one.
%    \begin{macrocode}
numeric diam;
diam = namespace(btex ABS etex)(nextra);

z5bm=z4tm;
drawcirclebox(5, diam)(btex SAB etex);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The next element in the diagram is an ENTITY box. 
% We use the default height for the entity box and the default page connector
% length as its length (no reason, but it saves inventing another variable 
% or value).
%
%    The ENTITY box is positioned with respect to the SAB circle, but in a
% slightly more complicated way than earlier positions. We want the left hand
% side of the box to align with the right hand side of the circle. Also,
% the middle of the box should align with the top of the circle. 
%
%    The ENTITY box will be located at point |z6|. The easiest way is to
% specify |z6| is |z6ml=(x5mr, y5tm)|, but to demonstrate more of \Mpost's
% equation solving abilities a more complicated approach is taken to the 
% specification of the x coordinate. The horizontal distance between the
% points |z5ml| and |z5tl| on the circle is the same as the distance
% between the points |z5tr| and |z5mr|. We can express this as
% |x5ml-x5tl = x5tr-x5mr|. As we want |x6ml|, which is the same as |x6bl|,
%  to be the same as |x5mr| we
% can substitute into this equation, as done in the code below. Note that
% \Mpost{} can solve for the unknown |x6bl| even though it is on  
% the right hand side
% of the equation because the other three values are known.
%
%     The y coordinate of the point |z6mr| is specified as
% equal to the y coordinate of the top of the circle. Because of the linear
% relations involving all the points on a box, it is sufficient to provide
% one x coordinate and one y coordinate to fix all the points on the box.
%    \begin{macrocode}
x5ml-x5tl = x5tr-x6bl;
y6mr=y5tm;
drawENT(6, pconl, enth)(btex an\_ent etex);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The geometric center of the next box, an LEVENT, is vertically above
% the geometric center of the ENTITY box, and the bottom of LEVENT is slightly
% (one lenth unit) above the top of the ENTITY box. This is accomplished here
% by specifying |z7bm| in terms of expressions involving the coordinates
% of the point |z6tm|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z7bm=(x6tm,y6tm+u);
drawLEVENT(7, pconl, eventh)(btex levent etex);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    At point |z8| a GEVENT box is drawn. It's bottom left hand corner is
% vertically above the top left hand corner of the LEVENT box. If you look
% at the resulting diagram, you will see that GEVENT is shifted right with
% respect to LEVENT. For vertical alignment of EVENT boxes it is best to
% use the middle rather than corner points.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z8=(x7tl, y7tr+u);
drawGEVENT(8, pconl, eventh)(btex gevent etex);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \DescribeRoutine{mediation}
%    For the last of the aligned boxes another aspect of \Mpost{} is used.
% \Mpost{} provides a \emph{mediation} facility whose syntax is |frac[a,b]|.
% The result of a mediation is a value that is |frac| between the value |a|
% and the value |b|. For example, the result of |0.25[10,30]| is 15. Similarly,
% the result of |1/3[zj,zk]| is the point one third of the way between point
% |zj| and point |zk|.
%
%    The SCHEMA box is positioned with its bottom right hand corner at one
% eighth of the way along, and at the top of, the BOOLEAN box.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z9br=1/8[z3tl,z3tr];
drawSCHEMA(9, pconl, schemah)(btex a\_schema etex);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The second half of the diagram illustrates various line and end 
% styles. These are all horizontal, the same length and are aligned 
% vertically, so
% define the x coordinate |xmid| of the left hand end of the lines, and
% the length |len| of the lines.
%    \begin{macrocode}
numeric xmid, len;
xmid = x8tr + diam;
len = 2diam;

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \DescribeRoutine{shifted}
%    The next line of code exhibits another \Mpost{} function. A point can
% be specified as being some other point that is \emph{shifted} by given
% amounts in the x and y directions. More precisely, the shift is specified
% by a pair of values, written as |(a,b)|. The first line is aligned
% vertically with the center of the first box and its start point is |z11|.
% The end point, |z111|, is specified as being the start point shifted 
% horizontally by the length of the line.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z11=(xmid, y1ml); z111=z11 shifted (len, 0);
drawdashO(11, 111);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Because we will be using the same horizontal shift for all the lines,
% define a \emph{pair}, called |moveright|, that is the required shift.
% The next two lines are also aligned vertically with the centers of the
% second and third boxes.
%    \begin{macrocode}
pair moveright;
moveright = (len, 0);

z12=(xmid, y2ml); z121=z12 shifted moveright;
drawnormalO(12, 121);

z13=(xmid, y3ml); z131=z13 shifted moveright;
drawthickO(13, 131);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%   The remaining lines will have the same vertical spacing as the first three,
% so define another pair, |moveup|, that we can use for vertical shift.
%    \begin{macrocode}
pair moveup;
moveup = (0, y13-y12);

z14=z13 shifted moveup; z141=z14 shifted moveright;

%    The upper part of the diagram illustrates some of the additional
% line styles and boxes provided that are not part of the
% \ExpressG{} language. 
% \changes{v1.1}{1999/10/30}{Extended upper half of diagram 1 for new box
%  types}
%
%    The upper half is seperated from the bottom half by a dashed line, just
% to make the distinction. The line is set above the highest box so far,
% which is located at |z8|, and extends across the width of the diagram.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    As previously, we'll start with the boxes which will be placed in
% a column at the left side of the diagram. The first box, high enough
% for one line of enclosed text, has its top right hand corner folded 
% down by one quarter the box height. Text is placed at the center
% of the box, but if this is not required then it can be given as an
% empty string (i.e., |""|).
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%   Now there is a double box with the top portion being 3/4 of the box 
% height. Text is put into the top half of the box using \Mpost's
% labeling routine (see \pref{page:label}).

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%   Some languages include a box that looks a little like an index card, and
% this is shown next.
% A small box is also drawn inside the main part of the index box, 
% just to illustrate
% that drawings may be placed inside boxes.

%    Now we have two rounded boxes. In the first one the corner radius is
% small and the corners are neatly rounded. The radius is large in the

%
% \subsection{Diagrams 2--5: EXPRESS-G like models}
%
%    The diagrams in this section are all drawn using the \ExpressG{}
% specific routines. Nevertheless, they do illustrate general BLA techniques.
%
% \subsubsection{Diagram 2: Schema level diagram}
%
%    In contrast to the first diagram, this one is much more like an 
% \ExpressG{} diagram. It illustrates a diagram consisting of SCHEMA
% boxes and interconnections.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
beginfig(2)                       % schema level model

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    First define some lengths to assist in laying out the diagram, which is
% going to consists of three rows of boxes with varying numbers of boxes
% in each row; the bottom row has two, the middle has four, and the top row
% has one. We also want to align the boxes vertically in a `nice' manner.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
numeric lb, hb;                 % length & height of boxes
lb=20u; hb=schemah;
numeric upshift;                % vertical distance between rows
upshift = 20u;
numeric sideshift;              % horizontal distance between boxes
sideshift = 10u;

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The bottom row has two boxes and the second four. The two bottom boxes
% will be aligned vertically under the two middle boxes in the middle row.
% Allowance must be made for a `missing' box at the start of the bottom
% row. The second box on the bottom row is spaced from the first one. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% bottom row

z9=(lb+sideshift,0); 
drawSCHEMA(9, lb, hb)("nine"); 

z11=(x9br+sideshift,y9); 
drawSCHEMA(11, lb, hb)("eleven"); 

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The bottom of the boxes on the second row are all at a fixed distance
% above the top of the boxes on the first row. We only need to specify the
% y coordinate of the bottom of one box in the row, and use that for the 
% remainder,
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% middle row

z1=(0,y9tl+upshift); 
drawSCHEMA(1, lb, hb)("one"); 

z3=(x1br+sideshift, y1); 
drawSCHEMA(3, lb, hb)("three"); 

z5=(x3br+sideshift, y1); 
drawSCHEMA(5, lb, hb)("five");  

z7=(x5br+sideshift, y1); 
drawSCHEMA(7, lb, hb)("seven"); 

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The single box on the top row will be position centrally above the
% two middle boxes of the middle row. Mediation is used to calculate
% the x coordinate that is halfway between the right side of the left
% box and the left side of the right box.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% top row

x50 = 1/2[x3br,x5bl];
z31bm=(x50,y1tl+upshift); 
drawSCHEMA(31, lb, hb)("thirtyone"); 

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    This completes the boxes. The diagram is finished off by drawing 
% connections between the boxes. The first set of connections are just
% straight lines between known points on boxes.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% connectors

drawdashOO(9tm, 3bm);   % three/nine 
drawdashO(5bm, 11tm);   % five/eleven 
drawdashO(3ml, 1mr);    % three/one 
drawdashO(3mr, 5ml);    % three/five 
drawdashOO(9mr, 11ml);  % nine/eleven

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The next connection is more complex. It goes from schema thirtyone 
% to schema nine on a three-legged route. It goes horizontally left from
% thirtynine, then vertically down, and finally horizontally right to nine. It
% also passes to the left of schema one. 
%
%    The route is constructed by specifying a point |z90| to the left of
% schema nine, and the point |z31A| on the left hand of schema thirtynine.
% The |VH| routine is then called to generate the corner point on the 
% (rotated) L shaped path between |z90| and |z31A|. The connection is then
% drawn using these four points.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% thirtyone/nine 
z90=((x1bl-sideshift), y9ml);
z31A=3/4[z31bl,z31tl];
VH(90, 31A);
drawdashO(90vh, 31A);
drawdashthreeO(90vh, 90, 9ml);
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \DescribeRoutine{pickup}
%    To demonstrate another aspect of \Mpost, a dot is drawn at the location
% of |z90|. If the drawing pen is thick enough, just drawing one point is
% sufficient to make a noticeable dot. The code |pickup thickpen;| drops
% the current pen and picks up 
% the thickpen for drawing. The code |pickup normalpen;| picks up the
% normal pen, which is the one that is normally used.
%
% \DescribeRoutine{label}
% \DescribeRoutine{dotlabel}
%    The last line of code here is |label.lft("z90", z90);| which puts the
% text `z90' at the left of point |z90|.\label{page:label} 
% The label routine has two arguments,
% the first the text and the second the point at or near which the text is
% to be placed. The simplest form of the routine is |label("text", zk)| which
% centers the text over the point |zk|. A
% suffix can be used after the |label| (e.g., |.lft| in the code below) to
% modify the placement. |.lft| positions the text at the left of the point.
% The other modifiers are: |.rt|, |.top|, |.bot|, |.ulft|, |.urt|, |.llft| and
% |.lrt|. There is also a |dotlabel.suffix("text", zk)| routine which draws
% the point as well. For complicated diagrams it can be useful to label 
% some points during development, and then comment them out for the final 
% picture.
%    \begin{macrocode}
pickup thickpen;
draw z90;
pickup normalpen;
label.lft("z90", z90);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The next two connectors, between schemas one and eleven and between
% thirtyone and eleven are of a similar U shape. There is, though, one tricky
% point to remember. Up till now, all point arguments to the \Lpack{expressg} 
% routines have been of the form |3| or |4bm|; 
% that is, either a number or a number
% followed by letter(s). For example, |VH(3,4bm)| will calculate
% the point |z3vh|. However, if a routine adds more letters to an argument
% that already has letters, such as |VH(4bm,3)|, the calculated point is 
% \emph{not} |z4bmvh| as might be expected, but instead 
% is |z4bm.vh|.\label{page:dotsuffix}
% This has tripped me up on several occasions.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% one/eleven 
z1A=1/3[z1bl,z1br];
z11A=(x11bm, (y11bm-sideshift));
VH(1A, 11A);
drawdashthree(1A, 1A.vh, 11A);   % note it is 1A.vh and not 1Avh
drawdashO(11A, 11bm);
dotlabel.rt("z11A", z11A);
dotlabel.lft("z1A.vh", z1A.vh);   % note it is z1A.vh and not z1Avh

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The connector between thirtyone and eleven is the same general shape
% as the thirtyone to nine connector. This time, I'll use the |HxH| routine
% to calculate the turning points
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% thirtyone/eleven 
z31B=3/4[z31br,z31tr];
x31BC=x7br+sideshift;
HxH(31B, 31BC, 11mr);
drawdashfourO(31B, 31B.hxh, 11mr.hxh, 11mr);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The next two connectors, between thirtyone and seven, and between 
% thirtyone and one, are simple L shapes, which are easier to produce than the
% U shaped ones.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%%% thirtyone/seven 
z31D=1/4[z31br,z31tr];
VH(7tm, 31D);
drawnormalthreeO(31D, 7tm.vh, 7tm);

%%% thirtyone/one 
z31C=1/4[z31bl,z31tl];
VH(1tm, 31C);
drawdashO(1tm.vh, 31C);
drawdashO(1tm.vh, 1tm);

%    \end{macrocode}
%

% \subsubsection{Diagram 3: Tree structure}
%
%    This diagram is the first of three that are related in style. It is
% useful at this point to define some variables, and values for some of
% these as they will probably be used in all three diagrams.
%
%    Values are assigned (e.g., |var := val;|) so that they can be changed
% later if necessary (e.g., |var := newval;|). If values were equated like
% |var = val;| then they cannot be changed afterwards\footnote{Except
% by assignment.} as |var = newval;|
% will then have specified two incompatible equations for |var| and \Mpost will
% report a problem.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%%%% some commonly used variables & values

numeric pl, ph;           % length & height of numeric page connectors
pl:=pconl; ph:=pconh;     % for eg., 9,9 (9,9)
numeric plnamed;          % length of named page connector
numeric irh;              % height of interschema boxes
irh:=ish;                 % normally one line of text
numeric sdtl, sdth;       % length & height of SDT (e.g. INTEGER) boxes
sdtl:=sdtbl; sdth:=sdtbh;
numeric edtl, edth;       % length & height of enum boxes (inset is sdtbs)
edth:=sdtbh;              % normally one text line
numeric el, eh;           % length & height of entity boxes
eh:=enth;                 % normally one text line
numeric upshift;          % vertical space between rows of boxes
numeric nextup;           % vertical space between bases of rows of boxes
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Now another bit of \Mpost. There is another type of variable called
% a |picture| variable. This can hold something as trivial as a dot or
% a text string, up to a complete diagram. References to an Index
% type is a common element in some of the diagrams. It is useful to
% create a shorthand for these by using picture variables.
%    \begin{macrocode}
picture sindex, pindex;
sindex := btex eleven.Index etex;      % interschema reference text
pindex := btex 9,9 Index etex;         % page reference text
numeric slindex, plindex;
slindex := namespace(sindex)(nextra);  % length of Index interschema 
plindex := namespace(pindex)(nextra);  % length of Index page reference
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Yet more new \Mpost. Array variables are supported. These are declared
% by giving the variable name immediately followed by a pair of square 
% brackets. An element of an array can be simply accessed by suffixing the
% variable name with the integer number denoting the desired position.
% Actually we have been using array variables all along, as |z3| or |x7|
% are elements of the arrays |z[]| and |x[]| respectively. We define
% two arrays, one to be used for specifying horizontal spaces (lengths)
% and the other for vertical (y) coordinates. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
numeric hspace[];         % horizontal spaces
numeric lyc[];            % Y coords of box bases

%%%%%%%%%%% end commonly used variables & values

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Diagram 3 consists of type boxes. We will make these all the same length
% and height.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    The space required for the longest name is |edtl|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
edtl := namespace(btex standard\_data\_name etex)(niextra);
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    There are several rows in the diagram. Specify the vertical space
% between the rows, and the space between the bottoms of the boxes (the
% height of a box is the normal height, |sdth|,  for a type box). Also
% specify the y coordinates for each row, counting from the bottom.
%    \begin{macrocode}
upshift=2sdth;
nextup=sdth+upshift;
%%%        the y coords of box bases
lyc1:=0;

lyc5:=lyc4+nextup;
lyc6:=lyc5+nextup;
lyc7:=lyc6+nextup;
lyc8:=lyc7+nextup;
%    \end{macrocode}
% Specify two horizontal spaces.
%    \begin{macrocode}
hspace1 := 1/3edtl;  % space between data enums
hspace2 := 2/3edtl;  % initial space at start of second row

%    \end{macrocode}
%    Draw the 3 boxes in the first row and the 3 in the second; these are
% staggered with respect to each other and overlap as otherwise there
% there is not enough space to get them all onto one page. 
% I'll use a numbering scheme for
% points so that |zCR| is a point in the Cth column and the Rth row.
%    \begin{macrocode}

% \subsection{Diagrams 6--11: Car model}
%
%    The diagrams in this section are all taken from~\cite[Chapter~2]{EBOOK}.
% A simple information/data model of a car, car model, and car manufacturer
% is presented in a variety of BLA languages, among which is, 
% of course, \ExpressG. In words, the model is:
% \begin{quote} \itshape
%     A car is made by a manufacturer. Each manufacturer has a unique name.
% A manufacturer constructs cars in several models and a car is of a
% particular model. A manufacturer gives a serial number to each car 
% he produces and this is unique across all cars produced by that
% manufacturer. Each model also has a name, and this is unique across
% all models. A car has a year of production.
% \end{quote}
% This model is a small portion of a conceptual model developed as a common
% specification for comparing modeling languages~\cite{TR9007}.
%
% The purpose of these diagrams is to 
% illustrate how the \Lpack{expressg} package supports a range of graphical
% languages.
%
%
% \subsubsection{Diagram 6: \ExpressG}

%    Having already seen several examples of \ExpressG{} diagrams, this one
% is presented with no further comments.

% \subsubsection{Diagram 7: Shlaer-Mellor}
%
%    The Shlaer-Mellor graphical language~\cite{SHLAER88} is fairly simple,
% consisting basically of rectangles and arrowheaded lines. However, unlike
% \ExpressG{} each box usually has several lines of text. These are placed
% individually at the desired positions within each box.
%
%    Notice below that
% I have used |drawENT| with an empty string to draw the rectangular boxes;
% the routines for \ExpressG{} diagrams can, if suitable, be used in any
% sort of diagram.
%

% \subsubsection{Diagram 8: IDEF1X}
%
%    IDEF1X is a popular language in America for representing the structure
% of relational databases, and was developed under the auspices of the 
% US Air Force~\cite{IDEF1X}.
%
%    The general layout of the diagram mimics the previous one. All the boxes
% are divided horizontally into an upper and lower part. 
% The |drawdoublerectangle| is used for the rectangular boxes, but the dividing
% line in the rounded box has to be added by hand, as it were.

% \subsubsection{Diagram 9: OMT}
%
%    OMT~\cite{RUMBAUGH91} was the precursor to the currently popular UML
% structure modeling language. 
%    If you are curious as to why I believe that lexical languages are in 
% general better than BLA languages, the chapter on developing a compiler
% for OMT highlights, probably unintentionally, some of the disadvantages 
% of BLAs.
%
% The general look of the OMT diagram is almost identical
% to the IDEF1X diagram.

% (a) the line |z1--z2| is parallel to the line |z3--z4|, and (b)
% the length of the line |z1--z2| is |frac| of the length of |z3--z4|.
% We next specify that the line |z13U--z31A| is parallel to, and the same
% length as, the line |z13bm--z31ml|;
%    \begin{macrocode}
z13U-z31A = z13bm-z31ml;
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    The final part of the calculation is to determine the point |z13A| so
% that the line |z31A--z13A| is parallel to our first line and starts
% and ends at the outer perimeters of the boxes (and we already
% know what |z31A| is).
%
% \DescribeVariable{whatever}
%    Remember mediation? A point, |z1234| is on the line |z1--z2| if \\
% |z1234=frac1[z1,z2| holds. \\
% Similarly a point |z1234| is on the line |z3--z4| if \\
% |z1234=frac2[z3,z4]| holds.
%
%    These two equations are linear and provided enough variables are known 
% it is easy, even if tedious and error
% prone, to solve
% for all the unknowns using simple mathematics. Fortunately \Mpost{} has an
% idiom for this kind of calculation using the built-in variable 
% called |whatever|. Each time |whatever| is used it is internally given
% a new name which saves a lot of name inventions on the part of the user.
% The following line of code results in \Mpost{} calculating the intersection
% point, which I call |z13A|, between the two lines |z13U,z31A|, which is
% our parallel lines whose points are known, and the line |z13bm--z13mr|
% which is the lower right line of the outer diamond whose points are known.
%    \begin{macrocode}
z13A = whatever[z13U,z31A] = whatever[z13bm,z13mr];
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Finally, draw the second parallel line in the desired position and length.
%    \begin{macrocode}
draw z13A--z31A;
label.urt(btex N etex, 1/2[z13A,z31A]);

%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    Another pair of parallel lines connects the doubly bounded rectangle
% and the singly bounded diamond, and we use a similar calculation as above.

% \subsubsection{Diagram 11: NIAM}
%
%    Like IDEF1X, NIAM~\cite{NIJSSEN89} is a language for relational database
% structures. In Europe it tends to be preferred to IDEF1X.
%
%    Although the layout and icons of the NIAM illustration differ from 
% the prior
% diagrams, no new techniques are used. The most obvious of the differences
% are the use of oval and circular boxes in place of the rectangular boxes,
% and the use of pairs of rectangular boxes in the middle of the relationship
% lines.

% \subsection{Comments}
%
%    Everyone is likely to have a different style of diagramming. You have
% seen how I do it but that might not be what suits you. Nevertheless,
% the following comments may be of assistance.
%   
%    In my own work I tend to draw a lot of diagrams, using different 
% \file{.mp} files, that have similar sets of `commonly used variables 
% \& values'. Rather than repeating the list in each file, I create a
% \Mpost{} file, called say \file{mycommons.mp}, that includes these 
% and then |input mycommons| after the |input expressg| near the start
% of each diagram file.
%
%    I find it a help to sketch out the diagrams using pencil and paper
% before coding them up. I have to admit, though, that the final results
% often look very different from my initial ideas of the layout.
%
%    You might have noticed that I start the coding at different places
% in the diagrams. Basically I try and plan on getting the boxes aligned
% roughly in rows and/or columns. I then typically start with the longest
% column, or more often with the widest row, and then fill in the rest 
% from there.
%
% \subsection{Running the \Mpost{} example file} \label{sec:run}
%
%    The \file{expeg.mp} file has to be processed by \Mpost{} to obtain
% \EPS{} (\file{eps}) files for viewing or printing. 
% Depending on your installation the command to run \Mpost{} may be
% either: \\
% |mpost expeg| or \\
% |mp expeg| \\
% or perhaps something similar. This will produce eleven files, \file{expeg.1}
% to \file{expeg.11}, each of which is an \file{eps} file for the corresponding
% |beginfig(N)| in \file{expeg.mp}. \Mpost{} defaults to using \TeX{} for
% processing labels which outputs them using Computer Modern
% fonts. Unfortunately \PS{} applications do not understand these so it
% is necessary to get the fonts inserted. This is most simply done by 
% \LaTeX ing a document that includes the \Mpost{} output. A suitable
% file is provided below and is configured to be processed by either
% \LaTeX{} or \pdflatex. Run \LaTeX{} and then dvips (or what you normally
% use to generate printable output) and you will get all eleven diagrams.

% \subsubsection{Using \pdflatex}
%
%    \pdflatex{} generates a \file{.pdf} file directly from \LaTeX{} source
% instead of a \file{.dvi} file. Unfortunately \pdflatex{} does not understand
% \EPS{} in general, but it \emph{does} understand the restricted form
% of \EPS{} generated by \Mpost. By default \pdflatex{} will recognise
% files with an \file{.mps} extension as coming from \Mpost, but \Mpost{}
% generates files with a numeric extension. 
% If you like to use both \Mpost{} and \pdflatex, then it can
% get tedious changing all the numeric extensions to \file{.mps}. The
% following two scripts can help with this. The first is a shell 
% script\footnote{You may well have to modify this to run on your
% operating system.} which calls a Perl script. 
%
% The shell script is called \file{n2mps.sh}. To get suitable versions
% of the example \Mpost{} output files for use with \pdflatex, just do: \\
% |n2mps.sh expeg| \\
% after having run \Mpost{} on \file{expeg.mp}.

%
% \subsection{Using \LaTeX{} instead of \TeX}
%
%    As already noted, \Mpost{} defaults to using \TeX{} for typesetting
% labels. If you would prefer it to use \LaTeX{} instead, then two things
% have to be done.
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item \Mpost{} looks at the value of an environment variable called |TEX|
%       to see what typesetting system it should use. If the variable is
%       not set, then it uses \TeX. To get it to use \LaTeX{} the environment
%       variable has to be set to |latex|. For example, on the system I use
%       this is done by:
% \begin{verbatim}
% TEX=latex
% export TEX
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \item \LaTeX{} |\documentclass| and |\begin{document}| commands must
%       be put into the |verbatimtex|\ldots|etex| group at the start of
%       the diagramming file. For the example, this might look like
% \begin{verbatim}
% verbatimtex
%   \documentclass{article}
%   % \usepackage{...} % for any packages
%   \def\twolines#1#2{\vbox{\hbox{#1} \hbox{#2}}}
%   \begin{document}
% etex
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \textbf{NOTE:} Both the above are required for \LaTeX. On the other hand,
% if |TEX| is either undefined or has a value other than |tex|, 
% then there must
% be no \LaTeX{} code anywhere in the \file{.mp} file.
%
%    If you need to generate individual self-contained \file{ps} files
% for inclusion in non-\LaTeX{} documents where the font used for labels
% is a member of the Computer Modern family,
% then you need to use LaTeX{} and dvips on \file{*.tex} files that consist
% of only a single diagram and no other text at all. At least on my setup
% I have found it best to run dvips as normal but with output to a file
% instead of a printer. Then use whatever tools are available to you to
% convert the \file{.ps} file to an \file{.eps} one (or at least set the
% correct bounding box values). The primary source on generating and
% using \EPS{} in the \LaTeX{} world is~\cite{RECKDAHL97},
% and~\cite{GOOSSENS97} also has useful information.
%
% \subsection{Using \PS{} fonts}
%
%    \Mpost{} can be made to use \PS{} fonts and, providing the labels
% don't require any special (\TeX) processing, then use of \LaTeX{} may
% be avoided altogether. In order to do this, certain requirements have
% to be put on the content on the \file{.mp} file.
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \DescribeVariable{prologues} The 
% diagram file must begin with the line \\
% |prologues:=2;| \\
% which will add a prologue for \PS{} font to the output file.
%
% \item \DescribeVariable{defaultfont} The 
% |defaultfont| must be changed. What it has to be changed
% to depends on the font you want to use. For example, to use the
% Times Roman font, put: \\
% |defaultfont:="ptmr8r";| \\
% just after the |prologues| line.
%
%    For this incantation to work, the file \file{ptmr8r.tfm} must exist
% in a location where \Mpost{} looks for \file{.tfm} files (on the system
% I use it is in directory \texttt{../texmf/fonts/tfm/adobe/times}). Also,
% the file \file{psfonts.map} must include a line like \\
% |ptmr8r  Times-Roman ...| \\
% Again, on my system \file{psfonts.map} is in directory 
% \texttt{../texmf/dvips/misc}.
%
%    I don't know whether or not this works if you don't have a \LaTeX{}
% distribution --- it probably doesn't. But it's unlikely that you don't 
% have one if you
% intend to use \Mpost.
%
% \end{itemize}
%     
%     As a final note on changing fonts, the \Mpost{} |defaultfont| and
% |defaultscale| values only apply to quoted text 
% (e.g., \texttt{"quoted text"}) and not to `btexed' text 
% (e.g., \texttt{btex btexed text etex}). Conversely, \TeX{} or \LaTeX{}
% commands only apply to btexed text and not to quoted text. For more
% details on this, see~\cite{METAFP}.

% \subsection{Box drawing routines}
%
% The box drawing routines take as an argument the suffix (|$|) of the 
% left-hand bottom corner point of the box, and normally the length and
% height of the box. There is normally also a text argument that gets
% typeset at the `center' of the box. The coordinates of the box corners
% are calculated (|z$bl|, |z$br|, |z$tr| and |z$tl|). The midpoints of
% the sides of the box (|z$bm|, |z$mr|, |z$tm|, |z$ml|) are calculated
% as well. The text `center' of the box is |z$c|, while the geometric
% center of the box will be at the intersection point of the lines
% |z$bm--z$tm| and |z$ml--z$mr|. See \fref{fig:boxpoints} for an
% illustration.
