Generate activity diagrams

[jermon]

Is should be possible to generate activity diagrams from the code in methods and functions.

It would be nice. I have to give that some thought.

Displaying the participants, condition branches, actions all in sequential diagram is an alternative manner.

Producing interaction diagrams are one thing. Producing activity diagrams are another.
The purpose of the interaction diagram is to capture the dynamic aspect of a system. Who is taking to who?
The purpose of activity diagram is basically a flowchart to represent the flow from one activity to another activity. The activity can be described as an operation of the system.
See UML - Activity Diagrams

@jermon Yes, sequence diagram and activity diagram are two different diagrams.

Maybe this issue just want to show the activity transitions.

While I was trying to let developrs understand the code more easily and quickly, maybe these two occasions are different.

If so, just ignore it.

I need to see how to make sense of code into an activity diagram for it to be helpful. I can certainly follow the flow of the codes and calls to make activity diagram elements and interactions. I need to l ook more into this.

If you have seen before any articles that point in the right direction and would like to share them here, that can also help. Thanks for the suggestion.
