Welcome to the guide on PlantUML's official
Standard Library (
stdlib). Here, we delve into this integral resource that is now included in all official releases of PlantUML, facilitating a richer diagram creation experience. The library borrows its file inclusion convention from the
"C standard library", a well-established protocol in the programming world.
Standard Library Overview
The
Standard Library is a repository of files and resources, constantly updated to enhance your PlantUML experience. It forms the backbone of PlantUML, offering a range of functionalities and features to explore.
Contribution from the Community
A significant portion of the library's contents are generously provided by third-party contributors. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to them for their invaluable contributions that have played a pivotal role in enriching the library.
We encourage users to delve into the abundant resources the
Standard Library offers, to not only enhance their diagram crafting experience but also possibly contribute and be a part of this collaborative endeavor.
You can list standard library folders using the special diagram:

The Amazon Labs AWS library provides PlantUML sprites, macros, and other includes for Amazon Web Services (AWS) services and resources.
Used to create PlantUML diagrams with AWS components. All elements are generated from the official
AWS Architecture Icons and when combined with PlantUML and the
C4 model, are a great way to communicate your design, deployment, and topology as code.
@startuml

The Azure library consists of
Microsoft Azure icons.
Use it by including the file that contains the sprite, eg:
!include <azure/Analytics/AzureEventHub>.
When imported, you can use the sprite as normally you would, using
<$sprite_name>.
You may also include the
AzureCommon.puml file, eg:
!include <azure/AzureCommon>, which contains helper macros defined.
With the
AzureCommon.puml imported, you can use the
NAME_OF_SPRITE(parameters...) macro.

所有 cloudogu 精灵

“To become whole, enterprises must embrace a holistic, collaborative way of design:
transcending silos, combining perspectives, looking for connections instead of divisions. An enterprise designed together works better together.”
– Bard Papegaaij, Wolfgang Goebl and Milan Guenther, curators of EDGY 23
EDGY helps to visualize, communicate, and co-design enterprises across different disciplines.
EDGY is a design language that provides guidelines for enterprises to create effective and efficient digital products, services, and experiences. It was developed by the EDGY team with input from industry experts, researchers, and practitioners in order to address common challenges faced when developing complex systems.
The foundation of Edgy is based on four key principles: simplicity, modularity, scalability, and adaptability. These principles are designed to help enterprises create products that can be easily maintained over time while also being able to scale up or down as needed. Additionally, the language provides a set of guidelines for designing user interfaces, data models, business processes, and more, making it an essential toolkit for any organization looking to improve their offerings.
Basic Elements and Interconnections
EDGY is an open-source language for enterprise design that uses only four base elements: people, activity, object, and outcome. These elements can be specialized into facet and intersection elements, which describe the enterprise from different perspectives: identity, architecture, and experience.
Elements
The basic syntax of an element or a facet is:
$element/facet("label", [identifier], [lightColor])
|
Parameter
|
Description
|
|
label
|
Mandatory: label of the element.
|
|
identifier
|
Dependant: Identifies the element (for creating relations). Optional if you don't link them to other elemets/facets.
|
|
lightColor
|
Optional: 0 sets the standared color. 1 sets a lighter color. As default, facets do have lighter colors than elements.
|
|
🎉 Copied!
|
@startuml
!include <edgy/edgy>
$baseFacet("Basic elements") {
$people("People")
note bottom
The individuals co-creating
the enterprise or using
products.
end note
$outcome("Outcome")
note bottom
A result or change that
occurs within our enterprise
or its ecosystem.
end note
$activity("Activity")
note bottom
What is being done or going
on in our enterprise or its
ecosystem.
end note
$object("Object")
note bottom
A structure that is
relevant to the enterprise.
end note
}
@enduml
|
Relationships
The elements (or facets) can be connected with three types of relationships: link, flow and tree.
$link/flow/tree(fromIdentifier, toIdentifier, ["Description"])
|
Parameter
|
Description
|
|
fromIdentifier
|
Mandatory: Identifies the starting element of a relation.
|
|
toIdentifier
|
Mandatory: Identifies the ending element of a relation.
|
|
label
|
Optional: label of the element.
|
All relations can have a direction hint as a suffix (Up/Down/Left/Right). See examples in the chapter "Facets". While it does often help to give PlantUML (basically GraphViz) a direction hint, it not always helps. if you don't get the exact result you expect: don't waste too much lifetime on it.

$tree(outcome, object, "a hierarchical connection")
@enduml

There are quite some hierarchical linking in edgy. Or maps. So it is also possible to group/nesting elements:

$activity("Sister", child2, 1)
$activity("Latecomer", child3, 1)
}
$flow(child1, child2)
$flow(child2, child3)
@enduml
|
Facets
A facet is a perspective that relates to any enterprise, featuring a set of questions that an enterprise needs to answer in order to achieve a coherent design. There are three facets in EDGY: Identity, Architecture, and Experience. Each facet references five enterprise elements: three facet elements, and two intersection elements at the overlap with the neighbouring facets.
Identity
The Identity Facet describes why the enterprise exists and what it stands for.

!include <edgy/edgy>

Alternative visual styling
Finally, there is also an alternative representation that focuses on rectangles with stereotypes. The approach described above is 100% compatible. It can therefore be activated with a simple swap from
!include <edgy/edgy> to
!include <edgy/edgy2>.
This can sometimes be useful if the people involved do not immediately know the color codes and concrete meanings of the EDGY elements by heart. Also color-blind people can benefit from this ;-)

The Elastic library consists of
Elastic icons.
It is similar in use to the AWS and Azure libraries (it used the same tool to create them).
Use it by including the file that contains the sprite, eg:
!include elastic/elastic_search/elastic_search>.
When imported, you can use the sprite as normally you would, using
<$sprite_name>.
You may also include the
common.puml file, eg:
!include <elastic/common>, which contains helper macros defined.
With the
common.puml imported, you can use the
NAME//OF//SPRITE(parameters...) macro.

All Elastic Sprite Set
This library consists of a free Material style icons from Google and other artists.
Use it by including the file that contains the sprite, eg:
!include <material/ma_folder_move>.
When imported, you can use the sprite as normally you would, using
<$ma_sprite_name>.
Notice that this library requires an
ma_ prefix on sprites names, this is to avoid clash of names if multiple sprites have the same name on different libraries.
You may also include the
common.puml file, eg:
!include <material/common>, which contains helper macros defined.
With the
common.puml imported, you can use the
MA_NAME_OF_SPRITE(parameters...) macro, note again the use of the prefix
MA_.
Example of usage:
|
🎉 Copied!
|
@startuml
!include <material/common>
' To import the sprite file you DON'T need to place a prefix!
!include <material/folder_move>
MA_FOLDER_MOVE(Red, 1, dir, rectangle, "A label")
@enduml
|
Notes:
When mixing sprites macros with other elements you may get a syntax error if, for example, trying to add a rectangle along with classes.
In those cases, add
{ and
} after the macro to create the empty rectangle.

There are sprites (*.puml) and colored png icons available. Be aware that the sprites are all only monochrome even if they have a color in their name (due to automatically generating the files). You can either color the sprites with the macro (see examples below) or directly use the fully colored pngs. See the following examples on how to use the sprites, the pngs and the macros.

Warning: We are thinking about deprecating this library.
So you should probably use
<awslib> instead (see above).
The AWS library consists of Amazon AWS icons, it provides icons of two different sizes (normal and large).
Use it by including the file that contains the sprite, eg:
!include <aws/Storage/AmazonS3/AmazonS3>.
When imported, you can use the sprite as normally you would, using
<$sprite_name>.
You may also include the
common.puml file, eg:
!include <aws/common>, which contains helper macros defined.
With the
common.puml imported, you can use the
NAME_OF_SPRITE(parameters...) macro.
