This is a personal reference repository for PlantUML, with all the examples in PlantUML Language Reference Guide. Feel free to use it, fork it, or send pull requests to update the examples.

PlantUML is an open source project that allows you to create UML diagrams, by using a simple and intuitive text language. It uses GraphViz software to draw its diagrams. Images can be generated in PNG, in SVG or in LaTeX format.
