PlantUml是一个支持快速绘制的开源项目.其定义了一套完整的语言用于实现UML关系图的描述.并基于强大的graphviz图形渲染库进行UML图的生成.绘制的UML图还可以导出为图片,以及通用的矢量SVG格式文件.
如以下代码，可实现时序图
@startuml
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
@enduml
可以使用常用的编辑器vscode 或者sublime 或者其他IDE工具继承PlantUml
也可以使用在线的版本 https://www.planttext.com/
想了解更多PlantUml或者使用方法，可参考官网http://plantuml.com/zh/，上面详细的中英文说明
C4 Model 在我眼里更像是一个标准，一个方法论。让架构师、程序员、业务人员在讨论IT系统架构时候统一维度，统一标准，更方便的理解和沟通IT系统中的真实问题。强烈推荐！！！
C4 模型由一系列分层的软件架构图组成，这些架构图用于描述上下文（Context）、容器(Container)、组件(Component)和代码(Code)。C4 图的层次结构提供了不同的抽象级别，每种抽象级别都与不同的受众有关
这篇Infoq的文章是有一个比较详细的介绍https://infoq.cn/article/C4-architecture-model
本库的目的是美化PlantUml和C4 Model所绘制系统架构图的样式，统一审美而产生。
详细的使用方法，可参考sample文件夹中的示例代码 https://github.com/xuanye/plantuml-style-c4/blob/master/samples/

User -> first: DoWork

note right
this is a first note
end note
first -> second: Create Request
activate second
second -> last: DoWork
activate last
last --> second: WorkDone
destroy last
deactivate last
second --> first: Request Created
deactivate second

C4 Model的配色和实现大部分都是直接使用 https://github.com/RicardoNiepel/C4-PlantUML的,只有几个配色略有调整，并抽取出颜色的文件，可单独替换c4_theme 以实现其他配色
