Missing pseudo states in states diagram

Question

Currently states diagram has fork, join and orthogonal states, but what about the diamond shaped choice state?

Answer 1

What is also missing is the possibility to put enter and exit actions on states, as well as H and H*

Comments

You can do like this: 

@startuml

hide empty description

skinparam state {

BackgroundColor<<History>> Yellow

}

State Off

State Off : Entry: x.PowerLed(false);

State Off : Exit: x.Dummy1();

State On {

state "H" as On_H <<History>>

state "Step1" as On_Step1

state "Step2" as On_Step2

state "Step3" as On_Step3

[*] -right-> On_Step1

On_Step1 -right-> On_Step2

On_Step2 -right-> On_Step3

On_Step3 -> [*]

}

State On : Entry: x.PowerLed(true)

[*] -> Off

Off -up-> On_H : SwitchOn

On -> Off : SwitchOff

Ok, but what about the diamond shape to model choices? https://www.uml-diagrams.org/state-machine-diagrams.html#choice-pseudostate

I am only a user, but it is currently not possible to use diamond shape to the best of my knowledge. Please create a new request

Actually there is a solution, one can use the <<choice>> pseudostate. I found it here:
