Introduction

Comments make RAPTOR flowcharts easy to understand by others. Its a good programming practice to add meaningful comments in to flowcharts. In this post, we will learn how to add comments to a RAPTOR flowcharts. Comments are ignored by the interpreter and compiler and are not executed. Comments are meant for the human readers. Comments are especially used where the flowchart flow is complex and hard to understand by others.

Adding a comment

To add a comment to a symbol in Novice & Intermediate mode to the flowchart, right-click on the flowchart symbol and choose Comment.  The comment appears as a chat bubble next to the flowchart symbol. Comments can be a single line or multi-line.

Header Comment

We can add programmer header comments to the flowchart Start symbol. Header comments include

  • Author of the flowchart/program.
  • Date when the program was written.
  • General program description of what the flowchart does.

 

Header Comment

 

 

Enter the comment text in the “Enter comment” dialog box. Once you have added the comment click on the Done button. We can double click on the comment bubbles to edit the comment text or modify the comment text. We can also drag and move the comment bubble from flowchart symbol to symbol.
