Shows graphs and diagrams rendered by PlantUML (UML, Ditaa and Dot).
# PlantUML
Renders UML diagram as defined in a text file. For full syntax of the text file, see:
http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/index.html
1. Install the extension from Chrome Web Store.
2. Open text file from web server with UML diagram definition in browser (the text starts with @startuml).
3. See the rendered UML diagram!
Chrome does not allow fetching content from local files anymore, so you have to start a local web server that will serve the local text file. One simple way if you have Python 3 is to run `python -m http.server` command in the directory with your PlantUML files.
## Features
- Automatically updates the diagram when the file at given URL is changed.
- You can use your own server by changing the server URL in the popup of the action button (action button is displayed while viewing PlantUML files).
## Permissions
Your data on all websites
: Used to check whether the current page contains PlantUML diagram.
## History

- (2021-10-01) Mario Amatucci: hello [email protected] can you add support for the https://plantuml.com/mindmap-diagram ``` @startmindmap @endmindmap ``` it would be great
- (2021-09-28) Nam Tongdosa: It not works
- (2021-03-05) Florin Balanescu: Even with fiddling with the permissions and adding the @startuml in the xml file (which had to be recognized, because it was generated by staruml), the picture was broken.
- (2020-11-26) T I: Doesn't work at all. Only shows a broken image icon for any UML files (even a tiny file of only four lines except header and footer). In addition, I'm afraid it'll be a serious security pitfall to send user data to an external server if it is done without any prior permission or notification.
- (2020-08-04) Mohammad Nur: I used to love this tool, but It recently stopped working on all my machines - do not see the diagram anymore!
- (2020-07-31) Sunghee Lee: It does not work from several months ago on.I don't know how to fix it. The png or svg image cannot display in browser. Anyone know how to fix it? I can't find the answer with Googling.
- (2020-03-17) Yoga: I like this, but it can't work now in my chrome browser. I don't know how to fix it. the image could not display in browser and the request failed in debug mode. like this: Referrer Policy: no-referrer-when-downgrade Provisional headers are shown Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_14_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.132 Safari/537.36
- (2019-11-12) tolga ulas: the svg formats should be displayed in object tags otherwise embedded links are not clickable.
- (2019-07-15) Fei Wang: it is very cool, but there is a problem that the viewer will return to text for a seconds.
- (2019-06-19) Christian Wittrock: It doesn't support the newpage command
- (2019-06-18) Antoine Lefebvre: Very useful. I like that it refreshes when I save updates to the file in my text editor.
- (2019-04-17) Minh Pham: Found an issue with mindmap diagram that if the diagram is too wide (left-right) then the content from the right is cut. Otherwise, a great tool to have
- (2019-01-09) Илья Бормотов: Рендрит через раз. Чаще показывает иконку поврежденного файла.
- (2018-11-26) Wendy Lin: Every helpful plugin! Thanks!
- (2018-08-21) eiji: UMLの表示幅が大きくなってくると、ブラウザですべてを表示できなくなる。 scaleで調整するとなんとか収まることがあるが、なにかと不便。。
- (2018-02-04) christophe lachenal: vraiment très pratique !
- (2018-01-29) Long Hà: it doesn't work
- (2017-04-18) DaeYoung Ryu: Wow.!! greate!
- (2016-06-07) Rex Luo: If the UML file is complicated, then UML diagram can't be display completely.
- (2016-04-26) Brad Anderson: It would not parse the preprocessors '!include...' Couldn't use it.
- (2016-03-31) Jim Brennan: I have been using this for a while thinking it was completely generated locally. Now that I understand it sends the data to the cloud, without warning, I have downgrade to 3 stars because I cannot use it. It would have been 5 stars if it was all locally generated.
- (2016-03-01) Zhen Wang: hopeful
- (2016-02-16) Konstantin Suslin: русский алфавит формируется кракозябрами
- (2016-01-04) Jo Wang: I like this tool very much, and it did help me a lot. the reason why I gave 4 stars other than 5 is that the Chinese font used in this tool SUCKS, which makes the EXTREMELY UGLY pics whenever Chinese character is involved.
- (2015-09-19) Jacob Ras: Excellent. Now I can use Notepad++ to create the UML files while viewing them in Chrome on another screen. +1 for auto-refreshing the files when they're saved!
- (2015-06-26) Vladimir Alexiev: Great. Can you please also handle @startditaa, which makes DITAA ascii art diagrams?
- (2015-06-17) Jörn Guy Süß: I wish the plantuml version was more up-to-date or there were instructions on how to update it. Otherwise, this is one of the most effective tools I have in my shed.
- (2015-03-17) Leo Ko: Очень удобно для предпросмотра редактируемых диаграмм в текстовом редакторе (тот же vim + plantuml viewer == love)
- (2015-01-12) Johnny Lam: I found some issues that didn't work with the extension: 1. First line of file MUST be @startuml, if it was a comment (or set of comments) then it would fail. 2. Pre-Processor directives didn't work. E.g. !include filename 3. Not sure how to update the plantuml.jar file when updates occur. Would have a higher rating otherwise.
- (2014-12-28) Jeff Horsager: I love this tool. Online and off.
- (2014-11-26) Sergey Rodionov: Просо замечательное расширение!!! Давно пользуюсь UML Plant, но как часто бывает - на рабочих компах ничего ставить нельзя (ни Graphviz, ни Java) и это расширение отлично решает эту проблему! Всем советую! Спасибо!
- (2014-09-02) Thomas Berglund: Great lightweight tool for drawing UML diagrams fast and easy, using simple scripts.
- (2014-06-20) Patrice FERLET: Congrats, really nice, usefull, and simple.
