UML Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Choose diagram type → Write PlantUML text → Define elements and relationships → Wrap in ```plantuml fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use ```plantuml or ```puml code fence. NEVER use ```text — it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

Every diagram starts with @startuml and ends with @enduml
Use standard PlantUML keywords: class, interface, abstract, enum, actor, participant, component, node, database, package
Relationships use arrow syntax: -->, <|--, *--, o--, ..>, ..|>
Use skinparam for global styling and colors
Use #color on individual elements for specific colors
Notes use note left of, note right of, note over, or standalone note "text" as N

Mxgraph Stencil Icons

draw-uml supports 9500+ mxgraph stencil icons (AWS, Azure, Cisco, Kubernetes, etc.) via the mxgraph.* syntax. Default colors are applied automatically — you do NOT need to specify fillColor or strokeColor.

Full stencil reference: See stencils/README.md.

Syntax

mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> "Label" as <alias>
mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> "Label" as <alias> #color
mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> <alias>

mxgraph.<namespace>.<icon> — the stencil shape key (e.g. mxgraph.aws4.lambda, mxgraph.kubernetes.pod)
"Label" — display text (quoted if contains spaces, unquoted for single word)
as <alias> — identifier for use in relationships
#color — optional override color (e.g. #FF6600, #LightBlue)

Examples

@startuml
' Simple icon declaration
mxgraph.aws4.lambda "Lambda\nFunction" as fn
mxgraph.aws4.api_gateway "API GW" as gw
mxgraph.aws4.dynamodb "DynamoDB" as db

gw --> fn
fn --> db
@enduml

@startuml
' Kubernetes architecture with icons
mxgraph.kubernetes.ing "Ingress" as ing
mxgraph.kubernetes.svc "Service" as svc
mxgraph.kubernetes.pod "Pod" as pod
mxgraph.kubernetes.deploy "Deployment" as deploy

ing --> svc
svc --> pod
deploy --> pod
@enduml

@startuml
' Mixing standard UML with stencil icons
node "Cloud" {
  mxgraph.aws4.ec2 "EC2" as ec2
  mxgraph.aws4.rds "RDS" as rds
}
database "Legacy DB" as legacy

ec2 --> rds
rds --> legacy
