Backgroundcolor transparent doesn't work for only some element (only for alone element)

Question

Hello,

From https://forum.plantuml.net/11298/backgroundcolor-transparent-doesnt-work-anymore?show=11304#c11304

Maybe you'll find some other issue so please post here if you do !

[I had post a comment, but I now post this defect here]

Just FYI, for png output:

For some elements (sequence, usecase, deployement), if we have got only one element, that is KO:

Sequence:

Usecase:

Component & Deployment:

[on mode 'quote' in order to have the gray background, and to see the defect]

But for only one state, mindmap and wbs that is OK:

State:

Mindmap:

WBS:

[on mode 'quote' in order to have the gray background, and to see that all is OK for those elements]

If it can add some test cases, for help,

Regards,
Th.

Thanks for the report!

This is fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar and on the online server.

For the record, when there is only one element, we do not call GraphViz (for diagrams depending in GraphViz) in that case because the layout is obvious is that case.

It also means that you do not need GraphViz in those simple cases : it may be useful for some people.

Please don't be sorry !

We are sorry, we did not test enough... The truth is that we rely on your test : it really saves us a precious time. So many thanks.

So this is fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar and on the online server.

Note that you can test opacity as well.
