I know ModelMaker Tools could do this: [WayBack] Quick Question … are there any good tools available to generate class diagrams / hierarchy from existing code? Or doesn’t anyone do that anymore ? – Stefaan Lesage – Google+
But I didn’t know the other tools from the thread had options as well:

A while ago, I had to create a bit more complex component diagrams than the simple ones I used to create in PlantUML.
Some links that helped me:
cloud [Back Office] as BO { .... }package styles (Node, Rectangle, Folder, Frame, Cloud, Database); component diagrams have various grouping keywords (package, node, folder, frame, cloud, database) which you can nest.
[Component Description] as ComponentName, but not database [Database Description] as DatabaseName.'), header/footer, scale (for zooming), title, caption, legendtogether and hidden (only for left to right and top to bottom relations)' Layout Logging under BackendClient
BackendClient -[hidden]- Logginghide components: [WayBack] Hide function in components diagrams – PlantUML Q&Askinparam as explained in [WayBack] Changing colors and fonts.NodeSep and RankSep like in [WayBack] It is possible to decrease gab between elements – PlantUML Q&A
You can add notes:
note left of elementName, note right of ..., etc)note (not bound to any element) is usually close to the group name: [WayBack] Note at package not class – PlantUML Q&A [Archive.is]
package PPP {
[AAA]
[BBB]
}
package QQQ {
[CCC]
[DDD]
}
' Linking between packages
PPP --> QQQ
'Linking a component to a package
AAA --> QQQ
'Linking a component to another component
AAA --> CCC
UML2 style examples for skinparam that are equivalent:
skinparam component { Style uml2 }skinparam { componentStyle uml2 }

This and built-in markdown support made the switch to Visual Studio code from Atom.io so much easier: [WayBack] PlantUML – Visual Studio Marketplace.
Atom.io was already on my list of tools to say good bye to: though a good project to show the versatility of the Electron Framework, over time – like Google Chrome – it had become a memory and CPU hog and a drag to use and update.
Integrating debuggers and other parts of the development life cycle involved too much fuzz, for which Visual Studio code (also known as vscode) was much easier from the start.
Probably Visual Studio code did not suffer from what the Dutch call Law of the handicap of a head start: it is much more responsive and versatile than Atom.io. Also the plugins – despite having come to the market later – feel way more mature in Visual Studio code than Atom.io.
Finally, the PlantUML support extension for vscode is so much nicer than in Atom.io, it for instance supports live updating and in addition to local rendering, rendering through a PlantUML server (see [WayBack] GitHub – plantuml/plantuml-server: PlantUML Online Server).
Source code is at [WayBack] GitHub – qjebbs/vscode-plantuml: Rich PlantUML support for Visual Studio Code.

Learned a new thing today: you can change the line styles in PlantUML to these:
This in addition to the colour I already knew about. The order of these does not matter:
@startuml ' Make a dashed line, alternative syntax for ..> (*) -[dashed]-> "Write outline" ' Make line bold and use color name "Write outline" -[bold,#green]-> "Find example" ' Only change the color with hexadecimal RGB code "Find example" -[#ff00ff]-> "Write blog" ' Order of line style and color can be reversed "Write blog" -[#6666ff,dashed]-> "Publish" ' Use dotted line style "Publish" -[dotted]-> (*) @enduml

I like PlantUML a lot as it is an easy way to create even simple diagrams using plain text, for instance a simple Sequence Diagram like below.
Sometimes, you want to add comments because the way you build the diagram needs explanation that is not needed in the diagram itself. You can:
[Archive.is] Is it possible to comment out lines of diagram syntax? – PlantUML Q&A:
You can use quote like in the following example
@startuml
' This is a comment on a single line
Bob->Alice : hello
/' You quote by using slash-and-quote
to split your comments on several
lines '/
