This is the best resource for PlantUML details.
When you add the PlantUML plugin to PHPStorm, it creates a number of UML* template files that are examples that you can edit.
PlantUML can be generated by programs. E.g. php-plantumlwriter) It's even simple enough that we can write our own programs to generate PlantUML for our own use.
If you'd like to create PlantUML using PHP:
- plantuml-encoding builds images from PlantUML scripts.
- php-plantuml-wrap is a PlantUML "QueryBuilder"-style builder.
- PlantUML is written in Java
java -jar plantuml.jar <options> <files>
- It can produce SVG, PNG, and LaTeX files. Plus a lot more.
- It can even produce ASCII art (for sequence diagrams)
- PlantUML can be styled using skinparam and other attributes...
- E.g.
skinparam componentStyle uml2
- PlantUML is only text, so it can...
- Be embedded into any file (e.g. comments)
- Be generated by programs
