Hi

I need to have the hide stereotype feature in component diagram as well, in priority. (but in all diagram would be great).

Because as I understood it, this is the only way to have some graphics get a particulary skin params like background, font size. I maybe wrong. And in that case << XXX >> is visible in the component.

thank you

Ok, so with the last beta:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

You can have:

@startuml
hide stereotype
show <<shared lib>> stereotype

[AA] <<static lib>>
[BB] <<shared lib>>
[CC] <<static lib>>

node node1
node node2 <<shared node>>
database Production
database Production2 << indus >>

skinparam component {
    backgroundColor<<static lib>> DarkKhaki
    backgroundColor<<shared lib>> Green
}

skinparam node {
    borderColor Green
    backgroundColor Yellow
    backgroundColor<<shared node>> Magenta
}
skinparam databaseBackgroundColor Aqua

Very few tests have been done, so do not hesitate to give feedback

Thanks for the hide-by-stereotype feature!

I have two comments. The first one is informational: a "show/hide" statement cannot be placed in a skinparam compound, and there must be a space after the "hide" keyword:

skinparam component {
    backgroundColor<<hidden_st>> Yellow
        hide <<hidden_st>> stereotype
}

However the following works fine:

skinparam component {
    backgroundColor<<hidden_st>> Yellow
}
hide <<hidden_st>> stereotype


The second comment is a side effect. The hide statement hides other stereotypes, but only if they are a "component" and they contain something:

@startuml
hide <<hidden_st>> stereotype
component AA <<st_non_empty>> {
  [ZZ]
}
component BB_ok <<st_empty>>
component HH <<hidden_st>>

I would also like this feature to be added to all diagrams.

Hi,

skinparam component {
    backgroundColor<<hidden_st>> Yellow
     hide<<hidden_st>> stereotype
}

notation is still not working although no error, it does not perform the hide, only hide in global scope and with space between the hide and the '<<' works. Can you please consider to support the hide within the skinparam as it is more consistent method to express the attributes?

Thanks!
