Object Diagrams

An object diagram shows a set of objects, and the relationships among them, at a particular point in time during the execution of the system. Figure 3-6 shows an example of an object diagram.

Most people use object diagrams sparingly, if at all. They're mostly good for capturing snapshots of particular situations during program execution when it's important to see the relationships of a set of object attributes.
