Working with a Complex State 

The techniques in this section pertain to models of particularly complex composite states and substates.
You can resize the main state. You can also create a substate by drawing a state diagram within another state diagram and indicating start, end, and history states as well as transitions.
Create a composite state by nesting one or more levels of states within one state. You can also place start/end states and a history state inside of a state, and draw transitions among the contained substates. 

Creating a Deferred Event 

You can add a deferred event to a state element. 

Creating an Internal Transition 

 

Creating a Multiple Transition 

 

Creating a Self-Transition 

 

Specifying Entry and Exit Actions 

You can create entry and exit actions as nodes, or as stereotyped internal transitions.
