Notes in Class Diagrams

In UMLGraph you can easily add a note (comment) to an element, using the @note tag. The corresponding text will be split into lines, as specified in the note. Multiple tags can be used to add more notes to the same element. More complicated, (one to many) relationships can be established by creating an element with a note shape, setting its contents to its comment text through the @opt commentname tag, and associating it with other elements with the @assoc tag.
/**
 * @opt shape node
 * @note Located in the
 * machine room
 * @note Sun Blade 6048
 * @depend - - - MapLocation
 * @depend - - - DataMine
 */
class Server{}

/** @opt shape component */
class MapLocation {}

/** @opt shape component */
class DataMine {}

/**
 * CPU-munching
 * components that must
 * run on this server
 * @opt shape note
 * @opt commentname
 * @assoc - - - MapLocation
 * @assoc - - - DataMine
 */
class munchComment {}
