plantuml

Create UML diagrams from a plain text language and render them in different formats. More information: https://plantuml.com/en/command-line.

• Render diagrams to default format (PNG):

plantuml diagram1.puml diagram2.puml

• Render a diagram in given format (e.g. png, pdf, svg, txt):

plantuml -t format diagram.puml

• Render all diagrams of a directory:

plantuml path/to/diagrams

• Render a diagram to the output directory:

plantuml -o path/to/output diagram.puml

• Render a diagram without storing the diagram’s source code (Note: It’s stored by default when the -nometadata option isn’t specified):

plantuml -nometadata diagram.png > diagram.puml

• Retrieve source from a plantuml diagram’s metadata:

plantuml -metadata diagram.png > diagram.puml

• Render a diagram with the configuration file:

plantuml -config config.cfg diagram.puml

• Display help:

plantuml -help
