How do you attach lollipops to classes in a class diagram?

I can't seem to find anything that will enable me to draw the lollipop or its complement the fork.

Please help, I'm currently using the "Realization Arrow" but I'm not looking to indicate a realization, I need to indicate how the class should be utilized (through the lollipop).

Any info is much appreciated.

Hi Kwan.Cheng,

Thanks for your post. We are sorry that currently we do not support lollipops for classes. Could you provide some samples that need lollipops? Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

A situation where a lollipop would be useful are in class diagrams that I want to indicate a particular class implementing an interface, but I don't necessarily want to include the whole class rectangle stereotyped interface.

In all the UML 2 books that I read, this can be accomplished with the lollipop on a class diagram, but I was not able to find it in VP-UML.

However I found the lollipop notation available in the component diagram. So I'm using the component diagram as class diagrams currently. Which is working out fine.

Hi Kwan.Cheng,

In the Class Diagram, we have an alternative presentation for the interface - right-click on the interface and select Presentation Options > Interface Ball in the popup menu (you can refer to the image below).

Is it what you are looking for?

Best regards,
Lilian Wong
