Text based UML Diagram Generators

ascii, diagram, generator, svg, uml

Solution

As far as I know I keep the most extensive list of textual UML tools here: http://modeling-languages.com/uml-tools/#textual

Hope you'll find at least one that you like

Problem

Which generator tools do you know that are able to generate UML (and perhaps other) diagrams out of text (simple ASCII) based input? I know about http://plantuml-depend.sourceforge.net/screenshot/screenshot.html I'm looking for something like - http://yuml.me/ - https://www.websequencediagrams.com/# Requirements: - Generator shouldn't have too many dependencies - CLI based - specify input and output file - Output names should be predictable or specifiable - Possible output formats: SVG, PNG, JPEG, PDF - Generator should be free to use, or available for purchase (no subscription) - Ideally diagram layouting can be influenced in case default layout isn't pleasant - Clean visual diagrams - pleasant to view and read - Actively maintained software Alternatively to a CLI Tool reading ASCII input I'd also be interested in UML Libraries. Thanks so far Claude
