Text based UML Diagram Generators [closed]

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
