Model 2 Plant

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 10:11:42 +0000

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?

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

@startuml
version
@enduml

showing the properties including installation path.

Thanks in advance

Multicolored arrows appear as multiple arrows instead of single arrow with multiple colored lines

Sun, 08 Jul 2018 08:39:08 +0000

Using the following diagram generates three colored edges instead of a single edge with 3 colored lines:

@startuml
skinparam colorArrowSeparationSpace 3
start
:do a;
-[#blue;#yellow;#green]->
:do b;
@enduml

If I remember it correctly it would generate something similar to this (made with graphviz):

@startuml
digraph G {
a -> b [color="red:blue:green"]
}
@enduml

I don't know if it's a bug or I'm remembering it wrong.

Next release?

Just wondering when the next release is expected that includes the ability to hide/show & remove/restore by tag...

Issue in generating state diagrams with Doxygen

Sat, 17 Feb 2018 09:38:42 +0000

I try to generate activity diagram with PlantUML thorugh Doxygen. I succeeded for sequence diagrams, timing diagrams, activity beta diagrams, but failed for state diagrams with the following error:

Dot executable: C:\ProgramFiles\Graphviz2.38\bin\dot

File does not exist Cannot find Graphviz. You should try

@startuml

testdot

@enduml

java -jar plantuml.jar -testdot

The code I am using is the following:

* @startuml

* [*] --> State1

* State1 --> [*]

* State1 : this is a string

* State1 : this is another string *

* State1 -> State2

* State2 --> [*]

* @enduml

Do you have any idea to solve this issue ?

Thank you for your support

Max diagram size?

Fri, 12 Jan 2018 15:43:39 +0000

So I have a very large protobuf file that I'd like put into a single diagram the problem being the images seem to be caped at 4096x4096 currently I have them in 1 ~4096x2048 image and 4 ~2048x2048.

Is there a way to bypass this max size?

Can multiple plantuml files be linked together? A lot of the time, the flow charts can be big?

Can multiple plantuml files be linked together? A lot of the time, the flow charts can be big?

Is it possible to put text on an arrow from the "if" node to the "else if" node?

Wed, 28 Jun 2017 01:59:49 +0000

The new activity diagram syntax allows for something like:

if (condition one?) then (yes1)

    :activity1;

elseif (condition two?) then (yes2)

    :activity2;

else (no)

    :activity3;

endif

The "yes1" text is on the arrow from condition one to activity one.

The "yes2" text is on the arrow from condition two to activity two.

I'm looking for a way to add some text (eg: "no1") leading from the "condition one" node to the "condition two" node. Is this possible?

Change Properties of Nodes

Mon, 26 Jun 2017 20:27:00 +0000

I am trying to change the shape of invidual nodes in use case diagram. Is there a way to change the shape of the node from the elliptical to a diamond or a rectangle?

Also, I know you can change the colors of nodes by doing this:

(example) #red

But are you able to change the border color of the individual nodes? or is there some kind of skinparam where you can specify different skinparams that are linked to a tag you can attach to certain nodes? Something like this (but this doesn't work):

(example) usecaseBorderColor #red

Thanks!

PlantUML cuts sequence diagram off on the right at default zoom level

Wed, 21 Jun 2017 09:48:55 +0000

Hello,

I have created a sequence diagram with currently 32 participants. PlantUML cuts the diagram off after about half of them.

When I use the IntelliJ plugin, zoom out and reload, it shows everything - but it's all a bit tiny.

I presume it's a memory issue?

What do I need to do to get my full diagram with all participants displayed at defualt zoom level?

Kind regards,

Christian

P.S.: I also tried the jar file - same result: right-hand side of diagram is cut off... :(

How can I show only one class of a package?

Wed, 14 Jun 2017 14:03:09 +0000

Hi,

I've the following situation:

"Package1": A large package that contains a lot of class

"Package2": A large package that contains a lot of class and use one class of "Package1"

I want use inclusion to gets the class used in package 2 from package 1 but I don't want show all classes of package 1. How can I show the class used in Package 1 without hide all others?

{abstract} in written form

Mon, 12 Jun 2017 07:27:13 +0000

Hello,

sometimes italic text is not perceptible or obvious enough, especially if using another font for class/method names like "Segoe Print" and using PlantUML's handwritten feature. Therefore, I want to use the same trick for my UML diagrams as you do, if drawing UML by hand in reality. You will usually apply the text "{abstract}" to methods, for example.

I found a way doing this in PlantUML, e.g.

class MyClass {

+abstractMethod() 	 	 {abstract}

}

Question 1:

Is there a more convenient and less verbose way achieving this? The nicest this would be a switch/option for PlantUML, i.e. I simply could use "{abstract} +abstractMethod()" as regular, but the switch decides how to present this.

Question 2:

I haven't found a way to display, if the class is abstract or not (using the written form of "{abstract}" and not italic).

Thanks in advance!

Support for generics/templates

Thu, 08 Jun 2017 19:34:49 +0000

I would like to somehow represent templated classes (I am using c++) using plantuml but I am having difficulty doing do.

Is there some workaround so that the below three different classes can be diagrammed in the same diagram

@startuml

class Foo<T>

class Foo<int>

class Foo<double>

@enduml

Even better, I dunno if these types of diagrams are possible https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15330957/visual-studio-uml-class-diagram-modeling-of-generic-types/15350759#15350759

Classes of same names but in different packages are represented only once

Wed, 31 May 2017 15:57:30 +0000

Hi plantUML team,

I am using this great tool to generate class diagrams recently, and have a question -

Classes of same names but in different packages are represented only once, and all others are ignored.

For example:

package pack {

class MyClass {

}

package subpack {

class MyClass {

}

Here MyClass is represented in the graphic, but MyClass is ignored.

Any suggestion about how to handle this?

Thanks!

Activity diagramming aliasing

Fri, 26 May 2017 10:33:13 +0000

Hello,

I asked a question before, but I believe I provided a weak sample activity diagram. This activity diagram is more representative.

In the following example, I am drawing a map using an activity diagram, and connecting via directions. The problem is that sometimes I want to have the same label on multiple boxes, in the below example, "cellar1, cellar2, cellar3, cellar4" should appear as "cellar", which obviously isn't a unique id. Therefore I would like to provide unique ids as per this example but be able to override what actually appears on the box (cellar).

Is this possible?

@startuml

(*) --> study

study --> [e] livingroom

livingroom --> [e] lounge

lounge --> [s] kitchen

kitchen --> [w] hallway

hallway --> [n] study

hallway --> [d] cellar1

cellar1 --> [n] cellar2

cellar2 --> [e] cellar3

cellar3 --> [s] cellar4

cellar4 --> [w] cellar1

Multiple messages on same line in a sequence diagram

Thu, 25 May 2017 04:31:51 +0000

The feature for multiple notes on the same level has been implemented, but I would like to do the same for messages. Saves space when e.g. messages are always sent via a broker, e.g. Alice only speaks to Sally via Bob:

@startuml
note over Sally : Scared of Bob
/ note over Alice : initial state of Alice
/ note over Bob : initial state of Bob
Bob -> Alice : hello
' The next line does not work with the /
/ Alice -> Sally : hello from Bob

Modify PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE for public server use?

Tue, 09 May 2017 16:23:15 +0000

I'm using PlantUML though Python, which I believe utilizes the public PlantUML server. I have a very large class diagram which is being cutoff because of the png size limit. Is it possible to set the PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE when calling PlantUML through Python?

Overlapping activations (multiple threads)

Sat, 06 May 2017 09:33:16 +0000

I am trying to have overlapping activatins but they are always nested:

For instance:

@startuml

participant T1

participant T2

participant Main

T1 -> Main ++ #red: start

T2 -> Main ++ #yellow: start

Main --> T1 -- #red : done

Main --> T2 -- #yellow : done

@enduml

This will show nested red/yellow activations while I was expecting red to finish before yellow.

Is this supported? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Diagram doesn't display fully

Thu, 27 Apr 2017 19:01:04 +0000

I'm using the JavaScript jQuery API to render a diagram, but there are so many nodes that only about half the diagram renders in the image generated by the plantuml server.

I tried using the scale command (e.g., scale 2000*2000), and the entire diagram is rendered but is not readable. Is there another option to use to make the (wide) diagram render completely and be readable at the same time?

Note: I tried pasting the UML into this question box, but it exceeded the 8000 maximum character length. If there is a way to attach the html file with the UML code I would do it.

How to mark a group in a squence diagram as a deprecated piece?

Is there a way to mark a group as a deprecated part of the sequence (such as, crossed out watermark, a watermark with word "deprecated", or something like that)?

How to insert a minimum horizontal space between 2 participants or 2 groups in a sequence diagram

Wed, 12 Apr 2017 06:10:37 +0000

In my sequence diagram I am using par2 to show the parallel execution of 2 loops in different CPU cores, but the 2 loop boxes are overlapping, and the graphical result is poor, and hard to read:

@startuml

box "group 1" #lightblue
    Participant P1
    Participant P2
end box
' I would like to insert an horizontal minimu space constraint here
box "group 2" #lightgreen
    Participant P3
    Participant P4
end box

par2
    loop forever
        P1 -> P2
        P2 --> P1
        end
else
    loop forever
        P3 -> P4
        P4 --> P3
    end
end

Ubuntu PDF problem

Tue, 11 Apr 2017 07:55:22 +0000

Hey there,

we're using plantuml to generate our diagrams in our documents. The main development is done under Windows (Cygwin). Now I'm trying to set up a jenkins server that triggers the diagram/document generation.

We have all necessary files in one folder:

avalon-framework-4.2.0.jar

batik-all-1.7.jar

commons-io-1.3.1.jar

commons-logging-1.0.4.jar

fop.jar

org.eclipse.jgit-3.1.0.201310021548-r.jar

plantuml.jar

xml-apis-ext-1.3.04.jar

xmlgraphics-commons-1.4.jar

and our call is always the same:

java -cp <absolute-path-to-all-jars> net.sourceforge.plantuml.Run -failfast2 -nbtread auto -charset UTF-8 -o . -v -tpdf *.uml

Ubuntu output:

https://pastebin.com/50m0rK1E

Are my dependencies still up-to-date? There are newer version of batik available.

Thx & Bye,

rank in component models

Fri, 16 Dec 2016 16:43:55 +0000

Hello,

Is there a way to set a rank on components. On big diagram the alignment is confusing.

I'd like to align some components (like by layer) to be sure that some components will be always on top of other components.

Thank you.

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

Wed, 07 Dec 2016 18:06:19 +0000

When I use PlantUML Server to generate diagrams, it gives me a link to the png or svg.

How long is that link good for?

I am concerned that If I had put something sensitive up there, that someone could find it or that it may be stored on your servers.

Thanks!

Is ASCIIMath supported in the Eclipse plugin?

Fri, 02 Dec 2016 11:58:26 +0000

ASCIIMath works beautifully from plantuml.jar, but not from the Eclipse plugin.

I presume this is because of the location of the four files extracted from plantuml-jlatexmath.zip, but, as I'm not a java programmer, I'm struggling to work out what is wrong. Please advise.

Thanks,

beta is missing option?

Doxygen under cygwin

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 11:15:27 +0000

Hi folks, I'm trying to use PlantUML diagrams in Doxygen under Cygwin. The Doxygen executable is a Cygwin binary. The embedded PlantUML is

/**

* @brief main entry point

* @param argc - number of command line arguments

* @param argv - array of command line arguments

* @return exit status (always 0)

*

* @note The first command line argument (if provided) will be included in the output.)

*

* Following see a gratuitous diagram included to test/verify that PlantUML us working

* @startuml{ZipCmd_ZipComp_Communication.png}

*

* ZipCmd -> ZipComp: First Compute Request

* ZipCmd <-- ZipComp: First Compute Response

*

* ZipCmd -> ZipComp: Second Compute Request

* ZipCmd <-- ZipComp: Second Compute Response

*

* @enduml

*/

When Doxygen encounters this code it emits the following warning:

/cygdrive/c/Users/hank.barta/Documents/process/template/hello_sandc.cpp:67: warning: ignoring \startuml command because PLANTUML_JAR_PATH is not set

Doxygen is a Cygwin executable and reports its version

hank.barta@US-L16-0033 ~/Documents/process/template

$ doxygen --version

1.8.11

Help pointing me to a solution for this is most welcome.

I have set PLANTUML_JAR_PATH to be the same as PLANTUML_JAR in both the Cygwin environment and the Windows environment (via Control Panel.)

Thanks!

PlantUML using Doxygen

Wed, 06 Jul 2016 11:11:39 +0000

I'm striving to incorporate PlantUML output in Doxygen output and driving this with the Cygwin toolkit. I'm running into two problems that probably relate to mixing Cygwin and DOS/Win programs. I have the following script which automates the process:

#!/bin/bash

export PATH="$PATH":'/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Java/jre6/bin'

export GRAPHVIZ_DOT="C:/Program Files (x86)/Graphviz2.38/bin/dot.exe"

export PLANTUML_JAR=bin/plantuml.jar

export PLANTUML_JAR_PATH=$PLANTUML_JAR

# Create *.png files from text @startuml code and output *.png images to ./doc-src/images folder

# Recusively search from current folder scanning *.c, *.cpp, *.h, and *.doc files

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar `cygpath -wa $PLANTUML_JAR` -v -o doc-src/images "./**.(c|cpp|doc|h)"

#doxygen

If I run the script I get the following output:

Any help resolving this are most welcome. I can provide more information on request. (If I try to include it all in the original post, it is rejected.)

Thanks!

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

Mon, 27 Jun 2016 08:55:53 +0000

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

Sat, 18 Jun 2016 10:07:45 +0000

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.

Why is there an Oregon Trail game included in PlantUML?

Sat, 11 Jun 2016 14:42:25 +0000

I'm looking at net.sourceforge.plantuml.oregon.OregonBasicGame

Why is the "oregon" package included in PlantUML?

How do I set global styles for the Dokuwiki plantuml plugin?

Fri, 25 Mar 2016 23:56:58 +0000

I'm trying to set the global defaults for various diagrams in the plantuml diagram.

I've read to set the "-Dplantuml.include.path=<path to dir>", but I've had no luck.

This is the command that plantuml is executing:

PlantUML execution: /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Dplantuml.include.path="/var/www/html/dokuwiki/conf/plantuml/" -jar '/var/www/html/dokuwiki/bin/plantuml.jar' -charset UTF-8 '/var/www/html/dokuwiki/data/cache/e/eb849477ee911853fe95c0edd20f609c.plantuml.txt' 2>&1

How do I force plantuml to take an include that is transparent to my end users? As in, they don't need to use !include in their diagrams.

How to work with nested namespaces ?

Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:43:52 +0000

hey,

i try to work with nested namspace and i can do that correctly.

@startuml

namespace core {
    namespace view {
        baseview.ClassicalView <|-- TestView
    }

    namespace baseview {
        abstract class ClassicalView
    }
}

@enduml

in this exemple,

baseview.ClassicalView <|-- TestView

TestView doesn't seem to point to the abstract class wich is what i want and base view should be in core namespace

Can you explain me the correct way to do this ?

Thank u !

Jérôme

Edit:

Sorry just found i had to full name correctly the namespace as

@startuml

namespace core {

    namespace core.baseview {
        abstract class ClassicalView #9FF{
        }
    }

    namespace core.view {
        core.baseview.ClassicalView  <|-- TestView

        class TestView{
        }
    }
}

How to make the figure smaller in latex which is produced by plantUML?

Thu, 25 Feb 2016 22:18:37 +0000

I use the command line to generate a latex input for a UML diagram. The size of the diagram is one page. How can I control the figure size? Thanks!

For example,

\begin{figure}

\centering

% generated by Plantuml 8036

\definecolor{plantucolor0000}{RGB}{254,254,206}

\definecolor{plantucolor0001}{RGB}{168,0,54}

\begin{tikzpicture}[yscale=-1]

.....

\end{tikzpicture}

\end{figure}

Swimlines with fork

Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:54:22 +0000

wrong position for elements when using together "swimlines" and "fork" functionnalities :

@startuml

fork

|lineA|

:action1

Fork again

|lineB|

:action2;

Endforkfork

@enduml

Thanks for your feed back.
