Re: [Doxygen-develop] Working on adding PlantUML class diagrams

[Roger L. (rogerluc) <rog...@ci...>]

We use Doxygen extensively and have recently added PlantUML to allow embedded
class diagram images.

The instructions provided by PlantUML work well - we get the correct images 
created and they get referenced in the Doxygen HTML output so that you get the 
images inline with the documentation.

What more were you trying to do?

Subject: [Doxygen-develop] Working on adding PlantUML class diagrams

I'm interested in (and have started) modifying the Doxygen code to allow 
for the generation of class diagrams using PlantUML, but I wanted to get 
some input before I got too far in.

My current thinking is just to have the diagrams generated as an aside 
to the Graphviz diagrams.  I mostly wanted a tool to automatically 
generate nice UML class diagrams from my code.  I'm already using 
Doxygen and it has a framework for doing this already. PlantUML does not 
support image mapping so the nice links that are generated in Graphviz 
simply aren't available.

That said, others probably have a different opinion on how best to 
utilize PlantUML.  As such, I'm open to suggestions as to how best to 
utilize the tool inside Doxygen (beyond the already available embedded 
diagrams).

I should probably mention that I'm only inclined to add support for 
PlantUML class diagrams - it's not really suited for the other types of 
diagrams that Doxygen generates.
