Salt

Salt ist ein Unterprojekt, das in PlantUML enthalten ist und das beim Entwickeln von graphischen Oberflächen nützlich ist.

Man kann entweder das Schlüsselwort @startsalt oder @startuml gefolgt von einer Zeile mit dem Schlüsselwort salt verwenden.

Standard-Steuerelemente

Ein Fenster muss mit einer geschweiften Klammer beginnen und enden. Darin kann folgendes definiert werden:
  • ein Button mit [ und ].
  • Radio-Button mit ( und ).
  • eine Checkbox mit [ und ].
  • Freitextfeld mit ".

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{
  Just plain text
  [This is my button]
  ()  Unchecked radio
  (X) Checked radio
  []  Unchecked box
  [X] Checked box
  "Enter text here   "
  ^This is a droplist^
}
@endsalt

Das Ziel dieses Werkzeugs ist das Darstellung von einfachen und Beispiel-Fenstern.

Text area

Here is an attempt to create a text area:

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{+
   This is a long
   text in a textarea
   .
   "                         "
}
@endsalt

Note:
  • the dot (.) to fill up vertical space;
  • the last line of space ("  ") to make the area wider.

[Ref. QA-14765]

Then you can add scroll bar:

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{SI
   This is a long
   text in a textarea
   .
   "                         "
}
@endsalt

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{S-
   This is a long
   text in a textarea
   .
   "                         "
}
@endsalt

Open, close droplist

You can open a droplist, by adding values enclosed by ^, as:

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{
  ^This is a closed droplist^ |
  ^This is an open droplist^^ item 1^^ item 2^ |
  ^This is another open droplist^ item 1^ item 2^ 
}
@endsalt

[Ref. QA-4184]

Nutzung von Gittern

Eine Tabelle wird automatisch erstellt, wenn ein öffnende Klammer { benutzt wird.

Zum trennen von Spalten wird | verwendet.

Ein Bespiel:

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{
  Login    | "MyName   "
  Password | "****     "
  [Cancel] | [  OK   ]
}
@endsalt

Gleich nach der öffnenden Klammer kann durch das erste Zeichen angegeben werden, ob die Linien des Gitters gezeichnet werden sollen:

Symbol Result
# Um alle senkrechten und waagerechten Linien anzuzeigen
! Alle senkrechten Linien
- Alle waagerechten Linien
+ Alle äusseren Linien

🎉 Copied!

@startsalt
{+
  Login    | "MyName   "
  Password | "****     "
  [Cancel] | [  OK   ]
}
@endsalt

Group box [^]

🎉 Copied!

  Login    | "MyName   "
  Password | "****     "
  [Cancel] | [  OK   ]
}

[Ref. QA-5840]

Verwendung von Trennern

Sie können mehrere horizontale Linien als Trenner verwenden.

🎉 Copied!

{
  Text1
  ..
  "Some field"
  ==
  Note on usage
  ~~
  Another text
  --
  [Ok]
}
@endsalt

Scale

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