Doxyen not able to generate the mindmap feature and WBS

Question

In doxyen i am able to generate all the sequence diagrams and other stuff something like below. I write this in my readme.md file and the doxygen parses this readme file and the it includes all the plantuml diagrams  which are written with below rules.

@startuml
!include myplanumlfile.puml
@enduml

But why i am not able to do the same for mindmap something like this.

@startmindmap
!include myplantumlfile.puml
@endmindmap

Answer 1

Could you check your PlantUML version :

@startuml
version
@enduml

Thanks!

Sorry this is the details version from my CLion editor.  This editor uses the plantuml plugin and it seems like it is this version.

But when i check the same on my linux machine without editor it looks like i have different version.

Ok, thanks.

Your PlantUML seems ok. Maybe it's an Doxygen issue.

Does this simple example work ?

@startmindmap
* Debian
** Ubuntu
*** Linux Mint
@endmindmap

On my Linux version i have this version.   So how can i update this to the same as my editor because i run from terminal the doxygen command to generate this ?

Ok, version 1.2019.08 is older and cannot generate MindMap.

You have to locate the old "plantuml.jar" file on your Linux and change it with a more recent "plantuml.jar" file.

---

Can you please tell me from where can i get this updated version of plantuml.jar file ?

I just install it like sudo apt-get install -y plantuml.  With this i see it says me the plantuml is already updated one.  And i have this above version which i have mentioned.

---

Sure, you'll find it on the download page https://plantuml.com/en/download

---

Great looks like from command line i am able to generate the mindmap feature with planuml.

But for some reason when i do it from the doxygen file by including the plantuml it is not generating.  Looks like need to check something with doxygen.

But thanks for the jar file  update.  It works from plantuml side.

With salt we can use e.g.:

@startuml
salt
{+
{/ <b>General
Fullscreen
Behavior
Saving } |
{
{ Open image in: | ^Smart Mode^ }
[X] Smooth images when zoomed
[X] Confirm image deletion
[ ] Show hidden images
[Close]
}
}
@enduml

but with mindmap this doesn't seem to work, I tried:

@startuml
mindmap
{
* Debian
** Ubuntu
*** Linux Mint
}
@enduml

resulting in an error message (on the plantuml web server): "Syntax Error?".

@plantuml Is this a bug in plantuml or did I miss something.

---

Are there any plans to make the mentioned problem in my previous comment about mindmap (and also other start... commands) possible?

Hello Albert,

From version V1.2020.18, you can now use mindmap or wbs on sub-diagram, (and for old plugin  that manages only @startuml/@enduml and not @start[salt|mindmap|wbs]) (on string context, e.g. as minimum example as in title) as:

@startuml
title
{{mindmap
* Debian
** Ubuntu
*** Linux Mint
*** ...
** LMDE
** ...
}}
end title
@enduml

[See on PlantUML server]

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.
