How to generate a legend with colors in PlantUML?
I want to color classes in my class diagram, based on a certain criteria, and then display a legend, that would look roughly like:
If I could add an HTML table within PlantUML's legend and endlegend, I could achieve this by changing the cell backgrounds. However, adding the HTML <table> doesn't work. I also tried using PlantUML's salt to insert a table, but I couldn't find any way to color the cells of the table.
Is there any way to achieve this?
This is not perfect, but you can use a creole table. (see http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/creole.html )
@startuml class foo
legend
|= |= Type |
|<back:#FF0000> </back>| Type A class |
|<back:#00FF00> </back>| Type B class |
|<back:blue> </back>| Type C class |
endlegend

There are some drawing artifacts, but is it what you are expecting ?
