Dear All,
I just start using PlantUML for a few days. It is a really cool tool.
Regarding the workflow of plantUML in implementation, I guess it translate manual-code (in PlantUML Language) to intermediate code (Dot Language), then use Graphviz/DOT tool to generate the great UML diagram.
Now I am very interested in the intermediate language - file or string or contents in buffer in DOT grammar. Could anyone please tell me how to easily get the intermediate code (in dot grammar)? Now I have downloaded all the source code.
Take an example, when I type the following PlantUML code
@startuml:
Bob->Alice : hello
@enduml
how could I easily get or generate the intermediate code (file/string/buffer in dot grammar)? If I get the intermediate code, I would try to generate the cool UML diagram using DOT command (my purpose is to see how the intermediate code looks like, it could generate so cool diagram).
I have debuged the sourcecode for a while, but it seems no answers is found.
Any advice or help is highly appreciated. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Matthew
