==Class==
[[Image:bon-class]] An object class is represented by an ellipse(sometimes referred to as ''bubble''). It contains the class name and formal generics of the Eiffel class it represents. Second, it displays information about properties of a class. These properties are:

==Cluster==
A cluster is a collection of classes and sub-clusters. It is represented by a stippled, rounded rectangle. The cluster name is in a similar rectangle, by default located at the top of the cluster just outside of it. A cluster can be iconified, which means it is minimized to take up as less space as possible.

==Inheritance links==
Inheritance between classes is represented by an arrow from a class to its parent. Typically, inheritance links point upwards.

==Client/supplier links==
Client relationships between classes are represented by an arrow with a double line from the client to the supplier. Typically, these links point to the right. A special kind of relationship is the aggregate client/supplier link. Aggregate means that the supplier is an integral part of the client. In the class text, it corresponds to <code> expanded </code> features. In the diagram, an aggregate link has a little line along the back side of the arrow.
