Control package layout in class diagram

Mon, 28 Jul 2025 12:23:57 +0000

I am trying to translate an Enterprise Architect diagram to PlantUML, because the EA expert has moved to another job (and licenses are scarce).

The diagram has 10 packages. I have a .puml file defining the packages, and the relationships between them. The .puml file pulls in !include files for all the classes/interfaces in the packages.

The default layout seems to be all the packages side by side as far as the .png will stretch (the rightmost package is truncated and there are a couple not shown at all) with all the arrows in a bunch of spaghetti across the top of the packages.

Now, it is possible to see the relationships between the packages if the packages were laid out in 3 columns, with service users in the left column, intermediate API packages in the middle and service providers in the right column. But I have not been able to make the layout program do this.

I tried using .right.> .up.> and .down.> to influence the layout but it seems a bit random whether the diagram accepts these suggestions or not.

I also tried using together {..} around the definitions of some of the packages, I ended up with quite a broken diagram, with some classes no longer in their proper packages. The manual does show together {...} being used for classes, not packages, so that's probably to be expected, so I gave up on together {...}

Using left to right direction and !pragma layout smetana changes the layout, but not in a way that makes the relationships readable. At least the "left to right direction" stopped the direction from being left to right and lined up the packages vertically, so they were all visible. But the arrows were still like spaghetti.

Changing the order in which the packages are defined has some influence on the layout. Why would this be? Surely the important thing is the relationships, so if there is no way for me to explicitly control the layout, the arrows should be what defines it?

(Note, I am drawing these arrows between the packages, not between the classes.)

How can I escape double underscores in a namespace name?

Tue, 11 Jul 2023 14:51:22 +0000

I would like to use a namespace name that starts and ends with double underscores, e.g.

@startuml
namespace __builtin__ {
}
@enduml

But the name is displayed as builtin.

How can I escape the underscores?

Providing a modular plantuml jar

Sun, 04 Jun 2023 00:50:28 +0000

Deploying a Javafx app that uses plantuml is tricky, as using jlink to create a custom jre for your javafx app will now fail, because it can't handle non modular jars.

Unless the plantuml developers on day offer a modular jar, I'm not sure what the solution to this is?

Escape Character for Curly Braces

Fri, 24 Feb 2023 18:46:18 +0000

Hi,

I will keep it short. ~ does work for [], but not for {}. What am I doing wrong? Is it not possible to escape curly braces? I need curly braces in tooltips. Example here:

https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/SoWkIImgAStDuNBCoKnELT2rKt3AJx9IS2mjoKZDAybCJYp9pCzJ24ejB4qjBk42oYde0jM05MDHLLoGdrUSoeLkM5u-K5sHGY9sGo6ARNHr2QY66kwGcfS2SZ00

EDIT: Looked for similar questions before and just found one afterwards. Sorry. Seems like there is no way? https://forum.plantuml.net/17208/curly-braces-tooltip-would-show-json-something-like-tooltips

Performance degradation noticed (Plantuml taking long process time) if a macro has unbalanced parenthesis.

Fri, 28 May 2021 08:54:58 +0000

Generating of svg's are taking long time when there are any macros with unbalanced parentheses(excluding parenthesis as special character) in UML code.

Ex: macro_name(para1, para2, "x=y"))

In the above example, you can see extra closed parenthesis and Plantuml taking long time here to generate svg but it is working fast when we remove that extra parenthesis.

Can you please explain reason behind this ?

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to add custom metadata to a PlantUML source file?

Sat, 08 May 2021 12:50:31 +0000

Hi,

I'm writing a Git hook to generate PlantUML diagrams as part of the pre-commit stage to Git. The plan is to have the hook scan the repository for *.plantuml files, generate PNGs or SVGs then include them in the commit. I'd like to be able to add some metadata to the source files to let the user set the destination for the generated files, e.g.:

@startuml
[Destination=./output/class-diagrams/]
Bob->Alice : hello
@enduml

I've thought about implementing it using some custom syntax in a comment, but thought I'd check to see if there is any standard way to do this with PlantUML diagrams.

[Ad] Information: article about PlantUML on the last Linux Magazine of June 2020.

Fri, 19 Jun 2020 17:01:39 +0000

Hello all,

Just FYI, there is an article about PlantUML on the last Linux Magazine of June:

Drawing diagrams with PlantUML
Picture This
Article from Issue 235/2020
Author(s): Marco Fioretti
With PlantUML, you can quickly create all kinds of diagrams using human-readable text and reuse them anywhere.
Sooner or later, almost everybody needs to draw a diagram, whether to manage large amounts of information or organize group activities. For software developers and administrators (as well as business managers), diagrams based on the Unified Modeling Language (UML) make it easy to visualize complex systems, from software platforms to quality control departments, to see how they function.

Is it possible to run only the preprocessor?

Wed, 18 Jul 2018 14:18:48 +0000

Hi,

Iis it possible to just run the preprocessor and get back a new plantuml file without any macros, !include or !define etc

I guess that this would be very useful for testing when implementing the preprocessor features and therefor should already be implemented internally and hidden from use by normal users.

If so, would it be possible to enable this also for users?

The reason I need this is that I need to do a SHA checksum on my the plantuml files and they need to get different checksum depending on what is !included etc. So I need to do the checksum after the preprocessor has been applied.

Is it possible to have multi-line sequence messages both above and below the arrow?

Wed, 14 Mar 2018 14:55:49 +0000

I would like to know if it's possible to have multiline sequence messages be above and below the arrow?

It makes it easier to separate commands and parameters in our sequence diagrams.

State content padding setting

Thu, 22 Feb 2018 20:42:05 +0000

Is it possible to make controllable spaces between compound state and its content?

state "Request Handling" {
  state "Validate"
  state "Execute"

Validate --> Execute

In this case, if I use 'skinparam padding 5' it makes all states look ugly.

But at the same time, I would like to be able to move inner states from the borders of the compound state.

"open source scan" of Plantuml 2018.1 sources at Eclipse

Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:26:49 +0000

Hello Experts,

We have planned to use Plantuml 2018.1 as a part of our eclipse open source project "APP4MC - Application Platform Project for Mulit Core" : https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.app4mc

For including any 3rd party libraries inside Eclipse projects, we have to get the sources scanned by Eclipse IP team. For this reason I have initiated the scanning process for Plantuml 2018.1 :https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15530

Now IP team at Eclipse is comparing the sources which are part PlantUML 2018.1 with Plantuml 8000 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml-jar-epl-8000.zip/download) which was released in 2016 and also was approved by eclipse IP team based on previous request : https://dev.eclipse.org/ipzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8178 and they have mentioned that there are many new folders like : stdlib, gen, h, smetana, sprites as a part of the 2018.1 sources zip file dowloaded from : ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml-epl-1.2018.1.tar.gz/download )

Can you let me know if all these folders (stdlib, gen, h, smetana, sprites) are required to be part of binary when I am using Plantuml as a part of java application ?

Only concern is that these folders were not there in Plantuml 8000 version and they are now present as a part of 2018.1.

I will be happy if you can let me know about this and clarify this query.

Thanks in Advance !!

Is there an up-to-date version of the Eclipse plugin?

Construct the image URI using the c# equivalent of Javascript Encode64(zip_deflate(s,9)) ?

Mon, 22 Jan 2018 07:09:01 +0000

I have easily ported the Encode64 from JS to c# ; Also, for simple use cases e.g "Alice -> Bob Hello", the `System.IO.Compression.DeflateStream` from c# produces an URL that http://plantuml.com/image/encodedText... understands, however anything more complex the planuml.com returns an error.

How can I create the equivalent of somewhat proprietary Javascript Encode64(zip_deflate(s,9)) of Plantuml in c# code?

For example,

by using <math>, crash is occurred.

Meanwhile, when I try to use <latex>, equation is not displayed well.

Should I set specific configuration in eclipse?

Actually, http://plantuml.com/ascii-math is not enough to set latex or math.

Could you guide information for it???

Directing Activity Joins on Activity Beta

Wed, 03 Jan 2018 22:37:04 +0000

In the original Activity, I can identify nodes using "as". This doesn't appear to be supported in the new Beta format.

So now I have a diagram where I'd like to force the connection between two paths, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

In this diagram, I want a line from "BLP4" to "Common 3". If I remove the 'detach', BLP4 merges back in to its originating trunk. These are conditional branches, so using fork/join isn't the proper notation.

Is it possible to use the << name_of_style >> syntax with arrows of state ?

I try

And

r1 --> com <<name_of_style>>

Timing Diagram: Feature request for adding notes

Tue, 12 Dec 2017 16:55:44 +0000

I would like to be able to add some notes to the timing diagram. For concise participants this could be usefull, if some state is only active a very short time, but needs a longer explanation.

Also, I would like to explain, why a state changed in a note just at the state change.

Syntax suggestion:

@startuml

concise "Web User" as WU

@0
WU is Idle
WB is Idle

@100
WU is Waiting: THIS TEXT SHOULD SHOW IN A NOTE ABOVE THE MIDDLE of the < Waiting > - bar
WB is Processing
WU note THIS TEXT SHOULD SHOW ABOVE THE STATE CHANGE AT T=100 AND COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE STATE CHANGED

I'd like to use the plantUML java classes to explore the structure of a diagram I wrote

Mon, 11 Dec 2017 21:38:57 +0000

I'd like to use the java classes to step though the blocks of a state diagram that I specify in a .puml file. I'm brand new to the source, so I don't have clarity on which classes to use for this. I can make a SourceStringReader object, but what should I do to get some type of iterator to step though the graph the file defines? Do I have to call a generate function first, or is everything inside after the SourceStringReader constructor?

Sequence diagram sub-diagrams

Sun, 10 Dec 2017 11:27:12 +0000

According to the documentation, it is possible to use ref frames to reference subdiagrams. However, despite searching very thoroughly I feel like I must be missing something:I can't find the proper way to declare the subdiagram to be referenced! According to the UML reference I have and multiple pages I've seen online (example: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/3101.html#N101C6) the sequence diagram being referenced should be enclosed in a frame labeled "sd NameOfDiagram". I haven't found a good way to do this though.

Some things that I've tried

(Maybe it's an undocumented feature)

sd NameOfDiagram

Alice -> Bob: sendMessage

Bob -> Alice: sendResponse

end

Syntax error

(Well, maybe I can just use the custom frame)

group sd NameOfDiagram

Alice -> Bob: sendMessage

Bob -> Alice: sendResponse

end

Close! But the actors are declared outside the frame, rather than inside it.

Well, maybe I just declare it as a folder

folder "sd NameOfDiagram" {

Alice -> Bob: sendMessage

Bob -> Alice: sendResponse

}

Well, everything's inside the folder, but that's a class diagram now, not a sequence diagram!

ARGH!

sloped arrows on sequence diagram (to indicate passing of time)

Is it possible to use PlantUML to make the arrows on a sequence diagram sloped? I would like to be able to illustrate the passage of time. Also, I sometimes need to send two requests from an actor in parallel, and find that it's visually clearer if that is shown by arrows with the same start and different slopes.

Here's an example of what I'm looking for (from http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/)

How to generate package diagram with nested packages which may contain same names in different levels?

Fri, 03 Nov 2017 11:00:07 +0000

I use a script to generate package diagrams with hierarchical packages which may contain duplicated names but not in the same levels. e.g.:

@startuml
package A {
    package B {
        package C
    }
    package A
}
@enduml

I think, package A.A might be acceptable. But plantuml failed with this error: Thie element (A) is already defined.

I also try the following:

@startuml
folder A {
    folder B {
        folder C
    }
    folder A
}
@enduml

Then, plantuml failed with the same error. I tried namespace instead of folder, then failed with the same error.
