PlantUML other commands

There are several other commands useful along with core commands for styling and layout. 

' List all ArchiMate icons

@startuml

listsprite

@enduml

' Layout of the elements 

top to bottom direction

' New way of defining style of the elements. Style can be defined for all elements or specific type of element or an annotated element

<style>

element {

FontColor: green;

}

rectangle {

  MinimumWidth: 600;

   VerticalAlignment: left;

  HorizontalAlignment: center

}

</style>

SmartSimpleTextGenerator: A Smarter Way to Generate Text

  Introduction In the world of text generation, simple n-gram models can produce decent results, but they often lack context-awareness and coherence. To address these limitations, I have developed SmartSimpleTextGenerator , an improved version of my previous project, ImprovedSimpleTextGenerator . This new version enhances the text generation process by integrating Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging , n-gram models , and a back-off strategy , making the generated text more meaningful and contextually relevant. Key Features of SmartSimpleTextGenerator ✅ N-Gram Model with POS Tagging – Uses trigrams (default n=3) and applies POS tagging for better word prediction. ✅ Back-off Strategy – If a trigram sequence is unavailable, it falls back to bigrams and unigrams to ensure smooth text generation. ✅ Sentence Tokenization & Structure Preservation – Tokenizes input text properly while maintaining sentence integrity. ✅ Randomized Word Selection – Generates diverse outputs rather ...
