About
rbuml is a domain-specific labguage on top of Ruby for generating UML class diagrams using Graphviz dot.
Installing
On linux and unix-like system, run:
gem install rbuml
You will also need to install the graphviz dot utility (ex. apt-get install graphviz.)
See ruby-graphviz for further instructions if you're having trouble.
Example
Download example.rb and run rbuml example.rb
This should produce "example.png" containing:
"example.rb":
uml_class 'ClassA' do
attribute "foo", "int"
attribute "bar", "bool"
implements 'InterfaceA'
end
uml_class 'ClassB' do
extends 'ClassA'
attribute 'c', :ClassC, :private
relationship 'ClassC', :has
note <<-eos
ClassB probably doesn't do much
with c, but let's have one anyway
eos
end
uml_class 'ClassC'
uml_class 'InterfaceA' do
kind :interface
method 'add_point', :bool do
argument 'x', :int
argument 'y', :int
end
end
save "example.png"
