A computing device may include a memory to store data that describes a state machine model that includes destination states and source states. The source states may be associated with conditions upon which the state machine model is to transition from a corresponding source state to one of the destination states. The device may also include a processor configured to generate data to describe a state diagram from the data that describes the state machine model. The state diagram may include the graphical symbols and lines. Each of the graphical symbols may represent one of the source states or one of the destination states. The lines may represent transitions and include one or more vertical lines to represent transitions to one of the destination states from more than one of the source states. The graphical symbol may represent the one of the destination states is not adjacent to the graphical symbols to represent the more than one of the source states. The processor may arrange graphical symbols in a first row, arrange lines, and arrange vertical lines in a second row that does not overlap with the first row.

Generating a state diagram

A computer-readable memory device may include instructions to store data describing a state machine model including source states and destination states. The device may also include instructions to store, for each of the source states, a condition field identifying a condition upon which, when satisfied, the state machine model transitions from the source state to one of the destination states. The device may also include instructions to store, for each of source states, a destination field identifying the one of the destination states. Each of at least two of the source states may identify an identical destination state in the corresponding destination field. Each of at least two of the source states may identify an identical condition in the corresponding condition field.
