FEATURES:

- GPL (Part of the source code are dual licensed with LGPL and MS-PL)
- Need of the Microsoft Framework.NET 2.0 (if not already install) or Mono
- Display the elements, the groups and the attributes
- Show the text/HTML documentation of element and attribute when available
- Print the diagram
- Export the diagram to SVG, PNG, JPG and EMF (EMF only with Windows)
- Zoom the diagram with the mouse wheel while holding the control key
- XML validation based on the loaded XSD file
- Registration in the Windows Explorer contextual menu
- Drag'n drop a xsd file or url on the main window header
- Command line image generation


QUICK START:

- Open an xsd file.
- The xsd file and all its dependencies files are loaded in tab pages.
- Either:
	- Select a toplevel element in the toolbar (The first one is already selected).
	- Push the add button to put the element on the diagram
- Or double click in the right panel list.
- Then, on the diagram element, click on the + box.


COMMAND LINE USAGE: 

> XSDDiagram.exe [-o output.svg] [-os EXTENSION] [-r RootElement]* [-e N] [-z N] [-y] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [file.xsd or URL]

or on Windows use 'XSDDiagramConsole.exe' instead of 'XSDDiagram.exe' if you need the console:

> XSDDiagramConsole.exe [-o output.svg] [-os EXTENSION] [-r RootElement]* [-e N] [-z N] [-f PATH,NAME,TYPE,NAMESPACE,COMMENT] [-y] [-u USERNAME] [-p PASSWORD] [file.xsd or URL]

Options:

-o FILE
	specifies the output image. '.png','.jpg', '.svg', '.txt', '.csv' ('.emf' on Windows) are allowed.
	If not present, the GUI is shown.
-os EXTENSION
	specifies the output image is streamed through the standard
	output. EXTENSION can be: png, jpg, svg, txt, csv.
	If not present, the GUI is shown.
-r ELEMENT
	specifies the root element of the tree.
	You can put several -r options = several root elements in the tree.
-e N
	specifies the expand level (from 0 to what you want).
	Be carefull, the result image can be huge.
-z N
	specifies the zoom percentage from 10% to 1000% (only for .png image).
	Work only with the '-o', '-os png' or '-os jpg' option.
-f PATH,NAME,TYPE,NAMESPACE,COMMENT
	specifies the fields you want to output when rendering to a txt or csf file.
-y
	force huge image generation without user prompt.
-u USERNAME
	specifies a username to authenticate when a xsd dependency
	(import or include) is a secured url.
-p PASSWORD
	specifies a password to authenticate when a xsd dependency
	(import or include) is a secured url.


Example 1:
> XSDDiagramConsole.exe -o file.png -r TotoRoot -e 3 -z 200 ./folder1/toto.xsd
	will generate a PNG image from a diagram with a root element
	'TotoRoot' and expanding the tree from the root until the 3rd level.

Example 2:
> XSDDiagram.exe ./folder1/toto.xsd
	will load the xsd file in the GUI window.

Example 3:
> XSDDiagram.exe -r TotoRoot -e 2 ./folder1/toto.xsd
	will load the xsd file in the GUI window with a root element
	'TotoRoot' and expanding the tree from the root until the 2nd level.

Example 4:
> XSDDiagramConsole.exe -os svg -r TotoRoot -e 3 ./folder1/toto.xsd
	will write a SVG image in the standard output from a diagram with a root element
	'TotoRoot' and expanding the tree from the root until the 3rd level.

Example 5:
> XSDDiagramConsole.exe -os txt -r TotoRoot -e 3 -f NAME,TYPE,COMMENT ./folder1/toto.xsd
	will write a textual representation in the standard output from a diagram with a root element
	'TotoRoot' and expanding the tree from the root until the 3rd level.


TODO LIST:

- BUG: If I have an attribute with annotation selected, the annotation displays in the gray box in the bottom right as expected. If I move to another attribute that does not have annotation, the annotation from the previously selected attribute still displays. The gray box should have its content cleared if an attribute with no content is selected.
- BUG: Cascading substitution groups may appear weird.
- BUG: There is a bug when printing with margin!
- BUG: On Linux, the horizontal and vertical scrollbars don't appear correctly.
- Add include a possibility to show the length of an element (J<>rg S.)
- Add a close entry in the File menu (Eric).
- Add a recently opened list (Eric).
- From AlexM: oh, and allow the specification of a complex type in the command line as a root... for the same component used in multiple schemas from one library.
- Add the attributes to the element in the diagram (suggested by bob)
- Tooltips above the diagram element with a summary (xpath/attributes/doc) (display 200ms after the mouse move -> avoid 100 %CPU)
	o The optional display of attributes inside the diagram
- Columns in the element/attributes tabs for restrictions (length/pattern/enumerations) 
- Element selection in the diagram + move from one element to another with the arrow key
- Multi-selection (i.e.: to remove several element at once)
- Save the current UI state (open file/diagram/zoom/...)
- XML sample (skeleton) generation (the ability to generate random test XML files complying with the open schema)
- Download .dtd dependency file
