Now open the "IntroductionCourse" from the example project and select the use case diagram. Open UseCase

If you add or remove elements the TextualDiagram View will be updated.

You can use the resulting PlantUml code in any application that supports PlantUml for example the [PlantUML Web Server] (http://plantuml.com/plantuml/form) or you can enable graphical visualization for the PlantUML code by clicking the PlantUML viewer Button the right of the TextualDiagram View.
