We are excited to announce a major addition to our web-based text to diagram tool! At the very top of our theme dropdown list, you will now find two newly curated themes: visual-paradigm and rose. These custom themes are engineered to mimic the distinct visual style and color palettes of the industry-standard visual modeling platforms Visual Paradigm and IBM Rational Rose.
Whether you are creating software architecture flowcharts or UML sequence models, applying a dedicated PlantUML theme ensures your team gets clean, professional graphics every time. Elevate your documentation effortlessly by rendering every PlantUML diagram with a classic, recognizable software modeling design.
Why Use the Visual Paradigm and Rose Themes?
If you rely on a text to diagram tool for technical documentation, choosing the right PlantUML theme brings powerful workflow advantages:
- Familiar Aesthetic for Modeling Veterans: If you or your team members are long-time users of Visual Paradigm or IBM Rational Rose, these themes let you recreate the classic visual identity you are already comfortable working with.
- Unified Documentation Consistency: Keep all your project visuals uniform. By using matching color schemes across your code-based diagrams and design specifications, every PlantUML diagram in your documentation maintains a cohesive visual style.

- Start Coding: Select PlantUML as your language in VPasCode and simply start typing your code in the left editor panel.
