Constant width of class

Question

Is it possible to define constant width for all classes in the diagram? When names of some classes are too short they are rather lost in the diagram.

If it is not possible it would it be nice to add this possibility to skinparams.

Answer 1

No, it's not possible (yet). Thanks for the suggestion

But adding something like:

skinparam minClassWidth 600

should be easy to implement. A minimum width (rather than a constant width) seems safer to me.

Would this be ok for you ?

Great, it would be definitelly ok. :-)

Answer 2

We have added two different skinparam, that you can test with the following beta version:

Few tests have been done, so feedback is welcome!

@startuml
skinparam minClassWidth 70
class a
class thisisverylong
@enduml


@startuml
skinparam sameClassWidth true
class a
class thisisverylong
