PlantUML- great tool for sequence diagrams
Recently I have been searching for various tools for UML diagrams. I checked out Dia, but did not like it because I could not figure out how to create a number of diagrams with it. Then I came up on plantUML and I thought to create a sequence diagram and see how well it works. Turns out it's great! ( At least with sequence diagrams as per my limited experience! ) Ex. Consider below file: @startuml actor Foo1 boundary Foo2 control Foo3 entity Foo4 database Foo5 collections Foo6 Foo1 -> Foo2 : To boundary Foo1 -> Foo3 : To control Foo1 -> Foo4 : To entity Foo1 -> Foo5 : To database Foo1 -> Foo6 : To collections @enduml This above file generates this beautiful graphics. Excellent! Cheers!!
