Class diagrams are designed using a syntax that mirrors those traditionally employed in programming languages. This resemblance fosters a familiar environment for developers, thereby facilitating an easier and more intuitive diagram creation process.
This design approach is not only succinct but also enables the creation of representations that are both concise and expressive. Moreover, it allows for the portrayal of relationships between classes through a syntax that echoes that of sequence diagrams, paving the way for a fluid and insightful depiction of class interactions.
Beyond structural and relational representations, the class diagram syntax supports further enrichments such as the inclusion of notes and the application of colors, empowering users to create diagrams that are both informative and visually appealing.
You can learn more about some of the
common commands in PlantUML to enhance your diagram creation experience.

If you want to use

- Use the

keyword in the class definition to assign an alias
- Put quotes
""

If an alias is assigned to an element, the rest of the file must refer to the element by the alias instead of the name.
Starting names with $
Note that names starting with
$
cannot be hidden or removed later, because
hide
and
remove
command will consider the name a
$tag
instead of a component name. To later remove such elements they must have an alias or must be tagged.

Also note that names starting with $
are valid, but to assign an alias to such element the name must be put between quotes ""

To declare fields and methods, you can use the symbol

You can define static or abstract methods or fields using the

By default, methods and fields are automatically regrouped by PlantUML.
You can use separators to define your own way of ordering fields and methods.
The following separators are possible :
--
..
==
__
.
You can also use titles within the separators:

Stereotypes are defined with the
class

.
You can also define notes using

keywords.
You can also define a note on the last defined class using

You can parameterize the display of classes using the
hide/show
command.
The basic command is:
hide empty members
. This
command will hide attributes or methods if they are empty.
Instead of
empty members
, you can use:
empty fields
or empty attributes
for empty fields,
empty methods
for empty methods,
fields
or attributes
which will hide fields, even if they are described,
methods
which will hide methods, even if they are described,
members
which will hide fields and methods, even if they are described,
circle
for the circled character in front of class name,
stereotype
for the stereotype.
You can also provide, just after the
hide
or
show
keyword:
class
for all classes,
interface
for all interfaces,
enum
for all enums,
<<foo1>>
for classes which are stereotyped with foo1,
- an existing class name.
You can use several
show/hide
commands to define rules and
exceptions.

It is possible to disable this drawing using
skinparam genericDisplay old
command.
Usually, a spotted character (C, I, E or A) is used for classes,
interface, enum and abstract classes.
But you can define your own spot for a class when you define the stereotype,
adding a single character and a color, like in this example:

@startuml
class System << (S,#FF7700) Singleton >>
class Date << (D,orchid) >>

You can define a package using the
package

There are different styles available for packages.
You can specify them either by setting a default style with the command :
skinparam packageStyle
,
or by using a stereotype on the package:
🎉 Copied!

@startuml
scale 750 width
package foo1 <<Node>> {
class Class1

Starting with version 1.2023.2 (which is online as a beta), PlantUML handles differently namespaces and packages.
There won't be any difference between namespaces and packages anymore: both keywords are now synonymous.

the command :
set namespaceSeparator ???
.

set namespaceSeparator ::
class X1::X2::foo {

You can disable automatic package creation using the command
set namespaceSeparator none

class X1.X2.foo {

bar ()-- foo

By default, links between classes have two dashes
--
and are vertically oriented.
It is possible to use horizontal link by putting a single dash (or dot) like this:
🎉 Copied!

You can also change directions by reversing the link:
🎉 Copied!

It is also possible to change arrow direction by adding
left
,
right
,
up
or
down
keywords inside the arrow:
🎉 Copied!
|
@startuml
foo -left-> dummyLeft
foo -right-> dummyRight
foo -up-> dummyUp
foo -down-> dummyDown
@enduml
|
You can shorten the arrow by using only the first character of the direction (for example,
-d-
instead of
-down-
)
or the two first characters (
-do-
).
Please note that you should not abuse this functionality :
Graphviz gives usually good results without tweaking.
And with the
left to right direction
parameter:

association class after that a relation has been

(Student, Course) .. Enrollment
class Enrollment {

Student "0..*" -- "1..*" Course
(Student, Course) . Enrollment
class Enrollment {

skinparam

ArrowColor SeaGreen
BorderColor SpringGreen
}
skinparam stereotypeCBackgroundColor YellowGreen

class Class01 <<Foo>>
class Class03 <<Foo>>
Class01 "1" *-- "many" Class02 : contains
Class03 o-- Class04 : aggregation
@enduml

Important: unlike class stereotypes, there must be no space between the skin parameter and the following stereotype.
Any of the spaces shown as
_
below will cause
all skinparams to be ignored,
see
discord discussion
and
issue #1932:
BackgroundColor_<<Foo>> Wheat
skinparam stereotypeCBackgroundColor_<<Foo>> DimGray
You can declare individual colors for classes, notes etc using the # notation.
You can use standard color names or RGB codes in various notations, see
Colors.
You can also use color gradient for background colors, with the following syntax:
two colors names separated either by:
depending on the direction of the gradient.
For example:
🎉 Copied!

Sometimes, the default layout is not perfect...

Sometimes, you will get some very large image files.
You can use the
page (hpages)x(vpages)
command to
split the generated image into several files :
hpages

vpages
is a number that indicated the number of vertical pages.
You can also use some specific skinparam settings to put borders on splitted pages (see example).
