# PlantUML Icon-Font Sprites

## Getting Started

The common.puml is required for the rest to work. 
	
	!include ../common.puml
	or via url 
	!includeurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tupadr3/plantuml-icon-font-sprites/master/common.puml

Import the sprites that you want

	!include ../devicons/mysql.puml
	!include ../font-awesome/database.puml

	or via url

	!includeurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tupadr3/plantuml-icon-font-sprites/master/devicons/mysql.puml
	!includeurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tupadr3/plantuml-icon-font-sprites/master/font-awesome/database.puml

To use the sprites add one of the macros

	 DEV_MYSQL(db)

The macros are prefixed with the set and the name of the icon

	<prefix>_<name>(alias)
	<prefix>_<name>(alias,label)
	<prefix>_<name>(alias,label,shape)
	<prefix>_<name>(alias,label,shape,color)
	
Using the icon from devicons for mysql
	
	DEV_MYSQL(db1)
	DEV_MYSQL(db2,label of db2)
	DEV_MYSQL(db3,label of db3,database)
	DEV_MYSQL(db4,label of db4,database,red) #DeepSkyBlue
