Abstract class in Raptor Flowchart
Introduction
An abstract class is a Class that cannot be instantiated. It may have abstract methods. Abstract methods are methods without implementation in the class specification. Subclasses that inherit the abstract class need to provide implementation to the abstract method.
Person class is an abstract class. The real or concrete classes are Student and Employee. The classes are subclasses of the parent abstract class Person in the example.

- Enable UML mode.
- Add a new class by clicking on the Add New Class button.
