PlastiXML
PlastiXML is a plug-in developed for the GraphiXML editor, which can describe window transitions depending on the context model (particularly the platform used) and window resizing operations (e.g. a Configure event). With PlastiXML, the user can create different windows designed for each device, by defining the space taken and different possible transitions between each of these windows while performing a configuring event on the original/current window in order to go from one platform to another specified platform.

Authors
PlastiXML is developed by Benoît Collignon, research assistant at BCHI, Unit of Information Systems, School of Management, University of Louvain, Belgium. The notion of flexibility point has been expanded with plasticity domains in collaboration with Gaëlle Calvary, IIHM Team Univ. Joseph Fourier, France.
Note
The new concepts supported by PlastiXML are included in UsiXML V1.6.4.
