Style C4 PlantUML

C4 PlantUML supports layout macros, tags, legends, and PlantUML style controls.

Start with the general presentation settings. Edit shared or raw presentation in Details, and keep renderer-specific styling in Source.

Source controls

  • Use C4 layout macros to change direction or spacing.
  • Use tags and element-style macros for reusable styles.
  • Use PlantUML theme and skin parameters only when they do not conflict with C4 macros.
