ER symbols allowed by PlantUML

Question

Hi all,

I looked at the ER diagrams that PlantUML can generate, but this kind of symbols are not familiar to me when I'm referring to ER diagrams.

Is it possible to have the classical symbols like the following image?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Not quite matching, but you can use sprites to embed any image you want, so if this doesn't fit the bill I would look into the sprites functionality.

Great,

I think I could muddle through with this approach, but could you detail a bit more how to implement it, please?

Thanks in advance,

Click on the image, change the URL to /uml/ instead of /png/ and it will show you the source code using the online server :)

Good, many thanks!

Is it possible to underline the string inside the storage component to identify the attribute as a primary key?

Please accept this answer and open a new question for that :) Makes it easier for others to find when they have the same questions

Just to answer rapidly,

For string formatting you can see the Creole page:

With that we can see your expected result:
