N2 - Picto Web is a multi-tenant web-based tool for complex model exploration. It can transform different types of models into a variety of transient web-based views in formats such as HTML, Graphviz and PlantUML using rule-based model-to-text transformations. Picto Web implements a lazy view computation approach to support large models and complex transformations efficiently, and includes model and transformation template monitoring and push notification facilities to automatically recompute views when either are modified and deliver updated views to clients. The tool is packaged as a Docker container for ease of deployment.
