=====================
To help you debug your workflows, you can dump a representation of your workflow
-with the use of a ``DumperInterface``. Use the ``GraphvizDumper`` to create a
-PNG image of the workflow defined above::
+or state machine with the use of a ``DumperInterface``. Symfony provides 2
+different dumpers both based on Dot.
- // dump-graph.php
+Use the ``GraphvizDumper`` or ``StateMachineGraphvizDumper`` to create DOT
+files, or use ``PlantUmlDumper`` for PlantUML files. Both types can be converted
+to PNG images.
+
+Images of the workflow defined above:
+
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ // dump-graph-dot.php
$dumper = new GraphvizDumper();
echo $dumper->dump($definition);
+.. code-block:: php
+
+ // dump-graph-puml.php
+ $dumper = new PlantUmlDumper();
+ echo $dumper->dump($definition);
+
.. code-block:: terminal
- $ php dump-graph.php | dot -Tpng -o graph.png
+ $ php dump-graph-dot.php | dot -Tpng -o dot_graph.png
+ $ php dump-graph-puml.php | java -jar plantuml.jar -p > puml_graph.png

The ``dot`` command is part of Graphviz. You can download it and read
