UMLGraph

UMLGraph facilitates the declarative specification and drawing of UML class and sequence diagrams.

One can specify a class design using the Java syntax complemented by Javadoc tags.

Running the UmlGraph doclet on the specification generates a Graphviz diagram specification that can be automatically processed to create Postscript, GIF, SVG, JPEG, fig, or Framemaker drawings.

Similarly, sequence diagrams are specified using declarative pic macros and compiled with the GNU plotutils pic2plot program into a PNG, PNM, (pseudo) GIF, SVG, AI, Postscript, CGM, FIG, PCL, HPGL, Regis, or TEK drawing.

What is new in this release:

• Make the generation of diamond shapes compatible with GraphViz 2.27. (Contributed by Soraya Santana de la Fe.)
• Make the diagram elements appearing in HTML content clickable. (Contributed by Bernd Onasch.)
• Fix to ensure that class images only appear once. (Contributed by Zhigang Xie.)

What is new in version 5.3:

• Sequence diagrams provide an option to specify whether objects are underlined or not.
• Documentation generated with UMLGraph will process correctly non-ASCII characters. (Fix contributed by Gunho Kim.)
• New -dotexecutable option allows the explicit specification of dot's location. (Contributed by Laird Nelson.)
• UmlGraphDoc will obey the options specified through @opt tags within Java files. (Contributed by Laird Nelson.)
• Use a logical font rather than a font file name for italics. This fixes a problem with unresolved fonts under Windows and modern versions of Graphviz. (Suggested by Przemyslaw Szufel.)
• Support for javadoc's -linkoffline option. (Contributed by Nikita Kozlov.)
• Do not show relations of hidden fields. (Fix contributed by Cimballi.)

What is new in version 5.2:

• This version corrects an exception when a dependency to an unknown class is specified.
• It also fixes a NullPointerException that occurred when no global options are available.
• It also corrects the case of the tools.jar filename in the umlgraph shell script.

What is new in version 5.1:

• This version has active classes appearing with a double vertical border as required by UML2, two new class diagram options that control the node and rank separation of the nodes in generated diagram layout, support for showing a class's title as a tooltip in image files, and an option for generating Javascript-collapsible UML diagrams in Javadoc files.
