Support for usage with plantuml as online service (e.g. plantuml.com)

Hi Peter,

is it possible to use pikturr with a hostet plantuml service instead of installing graphviz etc. local?

Or can I get just the generated plantuml code without any rendering without graphviz installed?

kindly regards,
Sebastian

You can use the -u (or --uml) flag to generate the plantuml script instead of a png.
I have not used this in a long while, but I suspect you would only need graphviz for rendering.

In any case it is easy to try.

I have overlooked that in the readme. Thank you @adrolet for your help 🙂

Just tried it with -u and got a textfile including the plantuml code - awesome 😎

That's working for me so far, for a future version it would be great to configure a plantuml online server to render the diagram.

I'm glad this little extension I added was useful to you.

As for the server, I think this project is just about a tool lib.

If anyone knows of a free server to host a such service, or has access to an existing server that would accept this, fell free to set one up, and add info in the README.

In any case this is Peter's project, I was just passing by!
:-)
