Best Linux UML Tool

In Quora, Ralph Garcia suggested Visual Paradigm Online (VP Online) to be the best UML tool on Linux.

According to Ralph, VP Online is a web based drawing software that supports UML, BPMN, ArchiMate, ERD, DFD, Mind Map and many other diagrams. The diagram editor is so intuitive and with many great editing features that enable user to create diagrams quickly and smoothly.

Ralph further suggested some key features:
  • Clear UI for quick flowchart editing
  • Easy to use: Create and connect shapes with drag and drop. Connectors are attached to shape border and will never separate apart (unlike many other tools!).
  • Beautiful drawing: Apply different formatting options, which include shape and connectors colors (fill/gradient), 40+ connector types, background color, RTF caption, font options, shadow effect, etc
  • Alignment guide helps you position shapes nicely.
  • Build your own shape library to create diagrams with your own shapes.
  • Start quickly with the pre-developed diagram templates. Hundreds of templates are provided.
  • Easily print and export your drawing into different formats (PNG, JPG, SVG, GIF)
  • Easily add text, notes, external images, web links to diagram
  • Export your drawing as PDF and share with others
  • Available on the cloud, compatible with all O/S and browsers
  • Visio drawing and stencil import
  • Google drive integration
Finally, Ralph added that VP Online also has a Free Edition that supports UML, Organization Chart, ERD and Floor Plan, while the other diagram types are available in higher, paid editions.
