기존의 activity diagram 문법 은 몇몇 제약과 단점이 있다.(예를 들면, 유지보수가 어렵다.) 그래서 완전 새로운 문법과 구현이 베타버전으로 고안되었고, 우리는 더 나은 포맷과 문법으로 정의할 수 있었다. 이 새로운 구현의 또 다른 장점은 (시퀀스 다이어그램과 같이) Graphviz를 설치할 필요 없이 수행된다는 것이다. 새로운 구문이 이전 구문을 대체할 것이다. 그러나 호환성을 보장하기 위해 이전 구문이 여전히 인식될 것이다. 새로운 구문으로 이전을 권장한다.
Simple action
Activities label starts with : and ends with ;. Text formatting can be done using creole wiki syntax. They are implicitly linked in their definition order.
@startuml
:Hello world;
:This is defined on
several **lines**;
@enduml
Start/Stop/End
You can use start and stop keywords to denote the beginning and the end of a diagram.
@startuml
start
:Hello world;
:This is defined on
several **lines**;
stop
@enduml
You can also use the end keyword.
@startuml
start
:Hello world;
:This is defined on
several **lines**;
end
@enduml
Conditional
You can use if, then and else keywords to put tests if your diagram. Labels can be provided using parentheses.
@startuml
start
if (Graphviz installed?) then (yes)
:process all\ndiagrams;
else (no)
:process only
__sequence__ and __activity__ diagrams;
endif
stop
@enduml
You can use the elseif keyword to have several tests :
@startuml
start
if (condition A) then (yes)
:Text 1;
elseif (condition B) then (yes)
:Text 2;
stop
elseif (condition C) then (yes)
:Text 3;
elseif (condition D) then (yes)
:Text 4;
else (nothing)
:Text else;
endif
stop
@enduml
Switch and case [switch, case, endswitch]
You can use switch, case and endswitch keywords to put switch in your diagram. Labels can be provided using parentheses.
@startuml
start
switch (test?)
case ( condition A )
:Text 1;
case ( condition B )
:Text 2;
case ( condition C )
:Text 3;
case ( condition D )
:Text 4;
case ( condition E )
:Text 5;
endswitch
stop
@enduml
Conditional with stop on an action [kill, detach]
You can stop action on a if loop.
@startuml
if (condition?) then
:error;
stop
endif
#palegreen:action;
@enduml
But if you want to stop at the precise action, you can use the kill or detach keyword:
kill
@startuml
if (condition?) then
#pink:error;
kill
endif
#palegreen:action;
@enduml
@startuml
if (condition?) then
#pink:error;
detach
endif
#palegreen:action;
@enduml
Repeat loop
You can use repeat and repeatwhile keywords to have repeat loops.
@startuml
start
repeat
:read data;
:generate diagrams;
repeat while (more data?) is (yes)
->no;
stop
@enduml
It is also possible to use a full action as repeat target and insert an action in the return path using the backward keyword.
@startuml
start
repeat :foo as starting label;
:read data;
:generate diagrams;
backward:This is backward;
repeat while (more data?)
stop
@enduml
Break on a repeat loop [break]
You can break after an action on a loop.
@startuml
start
repeat
:Test something;
if (Something went wrong?) then (no)
#palegreen:OK;
break
endif
->NOK;
:Alert "Error with long text";
repeat while (Something went wrong with long text?) is (yes) not (no)
->//merged step//;
:Alert "Success";
stop
@enduml
You can use kill or detach to make an output split (multi-end):
@startuml
start
split
:A;
kill
split again
:B;
detach
split again
:C;
kill
end split
@enduml
@startuml
start
split
:A;
kill
split again
:b;
:c;
detach
split again
(Z)
detach
split again
end
split again
stop
end split
@enduml
Notes
Text formatting can be done using creole wiki syntax. A note can be floating, using floating keyword.
@startuml
start
:foo1;
floating note left: This is a note
:foo2;
note right
This note is on several
//lines// and can
contain <b>HTML</b>
====
* Calling the method ""foo()"" is prohibited
end note
stop
@enduml
You can add note on backward activity:
@startuml
start
repeat :Enter data;
:Submit;
backward :Warning;
note right: Note
repeat while (Valid?) is (No) not (Yes)
stop
@enduml
[Ref. QA-11788] You can add note on partition activity:
@startuml
start
partition "**process** HelloWorld" {
note
This is my note
----
//Creole test//
end note
:Ready;
:HelloWorld(i)>
:Hello-Sent;
}
@enduml
@startuml
start
:starting progress;
#HotPink:reading configuration files
These files should be edited at this point!;
#AAAAAA:ending of the process;
@enduml
Lines without arrows
You can use skinparam ArrowHeadColor none in order to connect activities using lines only, without arrows.
@startuml
skinparam ArrowHeadColor none
start
:Hello world;
:This is on defined on
several **lines**;
stop
@enduml
@startuml
skinparam ArrowHeadColor none
start
repeat :Enter data;
:Submit;
backward :Warning;
repeat while (Valid?) is (No) not (Yes)
stop
@enduml
Arrows
Using the -> notation, you can add texts to arrow, and change their color. It's also possible to have dotted, dashed, bold or hidden arrows.
@startuml
:foo1;
-> You can put text on arrows;
if (test) then
-[#blue]->
:foo2;
-[#green,dashed]-> The text can
also be on several lines
and **very** long...;
:foo3;
else
-[#black,dotted]->
:foo4;
endif
-[#gray,bold]->
:foo5;
@enduml
@startuml
start
:The connector below
wishes he was blue;
#blue:(B)
:This next connector
feels that she would
be better off green;
#green:(G)
stop
@enduml
It's possible to remove an arrow using the detach or kill keyword:
detach
@startuml
:start;
fork
:foo1;
:foo2;
fork again
:foo3;
detach
endfork
if (foo4) then
:foo5;
detach
endif
:foo6;
detach
:foo7;
stop
@enduml
kill
@startuml
:start;
fork
:foo1;
:foo2;
fork again
:foo3;
kill
endfork
if (foo4) then
:foo5;
kill
endif
:foo6;
kill
:foo7;
stop
@enduml
SDL (Specification and Description Language)
By changing the final ; separator, you can set different rendering for the activity:
|
<
>
/
\\
]
}
@startuml
:Ready;
:next(o)|
:Receiving;
split
:nak(i)<
:ack(o)>
split again
:ack(i)<
:next(o)
on several lines|
:i := i + 1]
:ack(o)>
split again
:err(i)<
:nak(o)>
split again
:foo/
split again
:bar\\
split again
:i > 5}
stop
end split
:finish;
