   Hi,

   I understand it can be annoying but I don't see it as a big problem: you just have to provide a value of the type you declare. I'm happy to discuss other approaches but nothing else comes to my mind given the fact that the list of items used to generate the diagram has to be passed to the actual transition logic code in order for the diagram to be always up to date.

   Here's an example from my project:

   enum Dynamic {
       case Normal
       case Gentle
   }
   
   
   enum Strength {
       case Normal
       case Strong
       case VeryStrong
   }
   
   
   enum SquareNodeEvent: DOTLabelable {
       case Highlight(delay: Double, dynamic: Dynamic, strength: Strength)
       // ...
   
       static let DOTLabelableItems = [
           Highlight(delay: 0, dynamic: .Normal, strength: .Normal),
           // ...
       ]
   
       var DOTLabel: String {
           switch self {
               case .Highlight: return "Highlight(delay, dynamic, strength)"
               default:         return "\(self)"
           }
       }
   }
