Hello S.,

Don't mix class, deployment and activity diagram?
What is your goal?

Here is a proposal using deployment diagram, as:

@startuml
skinparam rectangle {
  BackgroundColor #E0E0E0
  BorderColor black
}

rectangle Customer 
rectangle Bank 
rectangle "Payment System" as Payment_System 

Customer --> Payment_System : Payment Details
Payment_System --> Bank : Payment Request
Bank --> Payment_System : Payment Confirmation
Payment_System --> Customer : Payment Receipt

Enjoy,

Hi everyone! I want to share with you my small utility for creating component diagrams, which generates diagrams in PlantUML and Pintora text notations. It works online for free and have no ads. Not a spam :)

I'am interested in your opinion: is it worth developing an idea? what is worth adding?

Answered: Overlapping activations (multiple threads)

Fri, 12 Mar 2021 18:38:23 +0000

Maybe you wanted an existing Main to start something on existing Thread 1, and later start something on existing Thread 2 and get a return from T1 before getting one from T2.

This will show overlapping activations (on different lifelines. Note that I moved Main to the 1st position):

@startuml
participant Main
participant T1
participant T2
Main -> T1 ++ #red: start
Main -> T2 ++ #yellow: start
T1 --> Main -- #red : done
T2 --> Main -- #yellow : done

Answered: Is it possible to style REF element in sequence diagram?

Tue, 15 Dec 2020 11:57:59 +0000

Hello all,

How to use different style for different ref element?

Now (from 1.2019.9++) with new style functionality, we can change style during sequence as:

@startuml
<style>
  sequenceDiagram {
    reference {
      LineColor red
      BackGroundColor yellow
      LineThickness 2.0
    }
    referenceHeader {
      LineColor red
      BackGroundColor blue
      FontStyle bold
    }
}
</style>
Dummy -> Alice : foo1
ref over Alice, Bob : this is a reference over Alice and Bob
ref#7700FF over Alice, Other, Bob : this is a reference over Alice and Other

Other --> Alice : ok again
Alice -> Bob : new style
<style>
  sequenceDiagram {
    reference {
      LineColor blue
      BackGroundColor palegreen
    }
    referenceHeader {
      LineColor blue
      BackGroundColor green
      FontColor white
    }
}
</style>
ref over Alice, Bob : this is another1 reference over Alice and Bob

Alice <- Bob : another new style
<style>
  sequenceDiagram {
    reference {
      LineColor red
      BackGroundColor pink
    }
    referenceHeader {
      LineColor red

Where is plantuml.jar stored in Win Eclipse installation

Fri, 28 Dec 2018 16:38:22 +0000

Hi there,

Installed PlantUML in Eclipse, works well. I can embed UML State diagrams in C++ code and depict on the PlantUML View in Eclipse.

However, Doxygen does not embed PlantUML diagrams into Doxygen outputs. It requires the path of the "plantuml.jar" file.

Where is "plantuml.jar" is installed for the Eclipse? Is there a way to find out its location easily? Like

Answered: rank in component models

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 19:36:03 +0000

Rank is set automatically based on line lenght.

-> is same rank

--> is one rank lower

---> is 2 rank lowers

You can use -[norank]> to create arrows between nodes that will be always on same rank independent of length.

Remember that you can also use hidden arrows to set your layout.

Sun, 11 Feb 2018 19:07:43 +0000

Please note that PlantUML is very sensitive to order of declared stuff, also the sides that nodes appear no edges declarations can have huge effects.

These one look better:

@startuml
'!pragma horizontalLineBetweenDifferentPackageAllowed

component "Another System" as sys2 {
  [Config\nReceiver] as receiver1
  [Config\nReceiver] as receiver2

  receiver1 -[hidden]- receiver2
}

  database "Observations"  as aDataDb

  aConfigDb -[hidden]r- aDataDb
 
  database "Data"          as aStateDb
  [Inversion]              as aNetwork

I figured I can change those by adding a "" around.

Ex: "<color:Red><size:16>**name**</size></color>" works.

This can also be changed using the skimparam attributes:

skinparam class<<optional_stereotype>> {
        FontColor             color
        FontName              name

The syntax is not yet officially fixed (see http://plantuml.com/teoz )

However, using the Teoz version, you can have:

Answered: Modify PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE for public server use?

Wed, 10 May 2017 05:29:14 +0000

Generating PNG on server side is somehow CPU and memory consumming.
(Note that you can use SVG images that does not suffer the same limitation)

We try to keep the online server as open as possible, but allowing large image big would impact all users.
The best option for you would be to install a local version of the server, which does not have the same limitation.

Another option for us would be to allow some kind of login on the server.
In that case, loggued users would have access to larger images. This need some development, though.
Would this be a solution for you ?

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 19:49:46 +0000

Thanks for your example.

It's only because we have to save bandwidth and CPU on http://plantuml.com that we limit PNG image to 2000 pixels.

Your option are:

Install PlantUML on your machine (local installation does not suffer from this limitation, or at least it could be modify see http://plantuml.com/faq about PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE )

Answered: Ubuntu PDF problem

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 05:22:56 +0000

Ok, I found the my bug and got a feature request for plantuml.

1) slow generation and bloated diagram

During my try and error to get rid of the java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: PDF error I didn't use our DiagramStylesheet. I commented it out and forgot that there was an option skinparam componentStyle uml2 on which the test diagram heavly relies on. Having this option enabled the diagram size and compilation speed get back to normal.

2) cryptic expection

But where comes the exception from? This took my some time... far too much time! As mentioned above we use a custom Stylesheet with all our skinparams we need for diagram generation. I forgot to put this in the repository so the plantuml run failed.

Could you please add a verification step that looks after all included files (!include xyz) before starting the compilation run? An useful error message would be really nice, in case that the included file(s) cannot be found.

Thx & bye,

In general (unrelated to the example given here): when you don't see tooltips (and you are using a new jar with the new syntax) it can also be a browser issue. E.g. I noticed that tooltips don't work on IE11 (tested under Windows 7) or the Edge browser. But it works with the Chrome browser..

Answered: How long do the images generated by PlantUML Server live for?

Thu, 08 Dec 2016 09:07:33 +0000

This is a good question: we are going to add this in our FAQ.

Links to png or svg generated by http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml are valid forever (well, as long as the server is up).
However, we do NOT store any diagrams on our servers.

This may sound contradictory. It is not: the whole diagram is compressed into the URL itself (see http://plantuml.com/pte )
When the server receives the URL, it decompresses the URL to retrieve the diagram text and generates the image.
There is no need to store anything.
Even if the server is down you can retrieve the diagram using the flag -decodeurl with the command line.

Occasionally we may activate HTTP traces on our server. This is mainly for performance issues (when we have some) to be able to understand what sort of traffic we have on the server. Once the issue solved, we turn back off HTTP traces and we remove the logs.

Note that we are also counting the number of diagrams generated (printed at the home page http://plantuml.com/ ) to measure general server load.

Concerning sensitive contents, even if we do not store generated diagrams, please be aware that all the traffic goes through HTTP. This means that is it easy to catch it. So you should probably install a local server ( http://plantuml.com/server ) on your own network if you plan to generate diagrams with sensitive information.

Do not hesitate to ask more questions if needed.

Answered: Is ASCIIMath supported in the Eclipse plugin?

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 20:50:57 +0000

We've just uploaded a updated of the Eclipse plugin on http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/updatesitejuno/

But we had to keep the same version number (V8051), so upgrading from your already-installed Eclipse would not be that easy.

First, you should test on a fresh install of Eclipse (in some new folder c:\neweclipse)

Run this new eclipse, install the plugin just to check that it works with AsciiMath (we have tested it on our side).

If it works, we can try to upgrade your existing eclipse: try to force a reinstall of the plugin to see if it works there.

Keep us informed!

Answered: PlantUML using Doxygen

Ok.
If I translate to English this:
- PlantUML reads hello_sandc.cpp
- There seems to be a @startuml in hello_sandc.cpp
- An image is successfully created in C:\Users\hank.barta\Documents\process\template\doc-src\images\
- PlantUML reads hello_sandc.h
- There is no @startuml in hello_sandc.h

From the log point of view everything looks fine, so we need more information here.

I cant change the size of "alt" and "else" in sequence diagram in online editor.

I write the same parameters as described in manual in the beginning of the diagram:

skinparam sequenceGroupingFontSize 30

skinparam sequenceGroupingHeaderFontSize 30

but the sizes remain too small and don't change. What do i do wrong?

UPD: I think it is important to mention, that skinparam sequenceArrowFontSize 20 and skinparam sequenceParticipantFontSize 17 do work.

It was working well for the plantuml 8036, but it is not working any more on the latest plantuml 8043. Thanks.

plantuml could not generate file

I've opened a puml file and can't generate the png file by pressing CTRL-ALT-P. Error occurs

plantuml could not generate file

Please make surePlantuml can write to location of original file

Do I need to set any environment to avoid this message? Ofcourse I can write to directory where I have created the puml file.
