@startuml

	interface MyInterface1
	class MyClass1
	abstract class MyAbstractClass1
	enum MyEnum1

Above snippet generate below diagram.

 

How to define custom spot?

Using the stereotype notation, we can add a  custom character and a color.

 

Example

interface MyInterface1<< (S, #FF7700) stereoType1>>
class MyClass1 << (T, red) >>

customSpot.txt

@startuml

	interface MyInterface1<< (S, #FF7700) stereoType1>>
	class MyClass1 << (T, red) >>
	abstract class MyAbstractClass1 << (U, green) >>
	enum MyEnum1 << (V, aqua) >>
	
@enduml

Above snippet generate below diagram.
