Diagram for Poll Timer?

[Garrett Smith]

What sort of diagram should I use for a poll-timer?

So far, I've made an activity diagram for my poll timer. Is this fine?

Poll every 250 ms until a condition is met.

Should I use a different type of diagram? The timing diagram doesn't seem right, or I can't conceive how.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Garrett

Please tell me if this makes sense.

A poll-timer continually polls to see if a condition exists, then fires a signal when it the condition is found.



Resize kicks off the first timer and sets hasResize = true continually.

I think a State diagram will make more sense (basically will be the same drawing, just a different name )

Well, who is the audience of the diagram, and why will they look at it?

It is for web developers / javascript hackers.

I put it on my site.

I want to get better at explaining these things. Sometimes people don't understand me.

Do people use activity diagram for threads?
