Standard tab.

See Section 18.9.2, “ Parameter Property Toolbar ” and Section 18.9.3, “ Property Fields For Parameter ” below.

Standard tab. See Section 13.4, “ Documentation Tab ”.

Standard tab. This contains a declaration for the parameter.

Standard tab. In the UML metamodel, Parameter has the following standard tagged values defined.

	Note
	The UML Element metaclass from which all other model elements are derived includes the tagged element documentation which is handled by the documentation tab under ArgoUML

Navigate up through the package structure.

This creates a new parameter for the for the same operation as the current parameter, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that parameter.

	Tip
	This is a convenient way to add a series of parameters for the same operation.

This creates a new Datatype (see Section 16.3, “ Datatype ”) in the namespace of the owner of the operation of the parameter, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that datatype.

This creates a new Stereotype (see Section 16.6, “ Stereotype ”) for the selected parameter, navigating immediately to the properties tab for that stereotype.

This deletes the parameter from the model

	Warning
	This is a deletion from the model not just the diagram. If desired the whole operation compartment can be hidden on the diagram using the presentation tab or the button 2 pop up menu for the class on the diagram.

Text box. The name of the parameter. By convention, the name of a parameter has a leading lower case letter, with words separated by “bumpy caps”.

	Note
	The ArgoUML critics do not complain about parameter names that do not have an initial lower case letter.

Drop down selector. There are no UML standard stereotypes for Parameter.

icon. If a stereotype has been selected, this will navigate to the stereotype property panel (see Section 16.6, “ Stereotype ”).

Text box. Records the operation which contains this parameter.

Button 1 double click on the entry will navigate to the operation.

Drop down selector. The type of this parameter. This can be any UML Classifier, although in practice only Class, DataType, or Interface make any sense.

	Note
	A type must be declared (it can be void, but this only makes sense for a return parameter). By default ArgoUML supplies int as the type the first time a parameter is created, and thereafter the type of the most recently created parameter.

Text box with drop down. This allows you to set an initial value for the parameter if desired (this is optional). The drop down menu provides access to the common values 0, 1, 2, and null.

	Caution
	This only makes sense for out or return parameters.

Radio box, with entries out, in/out, return, and in.
