SYNOPSIS

plantuml [options] files/dirs...

DESCRIPTION

PlantUML is used to draw UML diagram, using a simple and human readable text description.

Notice that graphviz is required to be installed for generation of all diagrams but sequence diagrams.

When files/directories are given, they are processed in batch mode. Otherwise GUI window appears. It allows user to browse directories and view diagrams generated from suitable files (must have one of the following extensions: .txt, .tex, .java, .htm, .html, .c, .h, .cpp).

You can use the following wildcards in files/dirs:

*

means any characters but '/'

?

one and only one character but '/'

**

means any characters (used to recurse through directories)
