Commandes communes dans PlantUML

Découvrez les commandes fondamentales universellement applicables à tous les types de diagrammes dans PlantUML. Ces commandes vous permettent d'injecter de la polyvalence et des détails personnalisés dans vos diagrammes. Ci-dessous, nous répartissons ces commandes communes en trois catégories principales :

Global Elements

  • Comments : Ajoutez des remarques ou des notes explicatives dans le script de votre diagramme pour transmettre des informations supplémentaires ou pour laisser des rappels en vue de modifications ultérieures.
  • Notes : Incorporez des informations supplémentaires directement dans votre diagramme pour faciliter la compréhension ou pour mettre en évidence des aspects importants.
  • Size Control (Contrôle de la taille) : Ajustez les dimensions des différents éléments en fonction de vos préférences, afin d'obtenir un diagramme équilibré et bien proportionné.
  • Titre et légendes : Définissez un titre approprié et ajoutez des légendes pour clarifier le contexte ou pour annoter des parties spécifiques de votre diagramme.

Description de la syntaxe créole

Exploitez la puissance de la syntaxe créole pour formater davantage le contenu de n'importe quel élément de votre diagramme. Ce style de balisage wiki permet :

  • Formatage du texte : Personnalisez l'apparence de votre texte avec différents styles et alignements.
  • Listes : Créez des listes ordonnées ou non ordonnées pour présenter les informations de manière claire.
  • Liens : Intégrez des hyperliens pour faciliter la navigation rapide vers les ressources pertinentes.

Commande de contrôle du style

Contrôlez entièrement le style de présentation de vos éléments de diagramme à l'aide de la commande style. Utilisez-la pour :
  • Définir des styles : Définir des styles uniformes pour les éléments afin de maintenir un thème visuel cohérent.
  • Personnaliser les couleurs : Choisir des couleurs spécifiques pour divers éléments afin d'améliorer l'attrait visuel et de créer des classifications distinctes.

Explorez ces commandes pour créer des diagrammes à la fois fonctionnels et esthétiques, en adaptant chaque élément à vos spécifications exactes.

Zoom

You can use the scale command to zoom the generated image.

You can use either a number or a fraction to define the scale factor. You can also specify either width or height (in pixel). And you can also give both width and height: the image is scaled to fit inside the specified dimension.

  • scale 1.5
  • scale 2/3
  • scale 200 width
  • scale 200 height
  • scale 200*100
  • scale max 300*200
  • scale max 1024 width
  • scale max 800 height

FYI:
  • all is only good for Sequence diagram
  • title, caption and legend are good for all diagrams except for salt diagram
FIXME
🚩
  • Now (test on 1.2020.18-19)header, footer are not good for all other diagrams except only for Sequence diagram.
To be fix; Thanks
