plantuml: Render a diagram to the output directory.
$ plantuml -o ${path-to-output} ${diagram-puml}
try on your machine
The command you provided is using PlantUML, which is a Java-based tool used to create UML diagrams. Here's an explanation of each part of the command:
plantuml
: This is the command used to run the PlantUML tool.-o
: This flag specifies the output directory where the generated diagram files will be stored.${path-to-output}
: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the output directory. You need to replace it with the desired path on your system where you want the diagram files to be saved.${diagram-puml}
: This is also a placeholder for the path to the PlantUML diagram file. Replace it with the actual path to the .puml (or .txt) file that contains the diagram definition.
So, be sure to replace ${path-to-output}
with the path to your desired output directory, and ${diagram-puml}
with the path to your PlantUML diagram file.
Once you execute this command, PlantUML will read the diagram file and generate the corresponding diagram file(s) in the specified output directory. The generated file(s) might be in various formats, such as PNG, SVG, or PDF, depending on how PlantUML is configured on your system.
