Transition to Self

A transition to self is very similar to a state transition; however, it does not move the focus of control to another state or activity when an event occurs. A transition to self contains the same source and target state or activity.

A transition to self contains actions and events just like transitions.

The icon for a transition to self is a looped line with an arrowhead pointing toward the same source state or activity. The transition to self arc appears on the top of an activity or state icon.
