Horizontal layout of lower package

Question

I'm having difficulties laying out a deployment diagram, I'd like the lower package to have horizontal icons as that would reduce the overall image height and look "prettier" - I have tried playing with -u-> etc with no useful result

Sorry for the poor formatting, first use of the forum and can't grasp how to post clean code/images

Hello P.,

For that you can suppress 'left to right direction' and modify some link as:

asp -> app: "Hosts"
app --> ai : Monitoring
app --> acr : Pull image
app --> aad : Managed Identity
app -u-> sb : Publish message
app -> kv : Read appsettings
app <-u-> sql : Read/write data

kv -[hidden]u-> sb

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

Thanks for that - I need to produce a bunch of these diagrams (50+) and was struggling.

Couple of questions about the forum...

1. How do you embed images, seems to want a url rather than drag/drop
2. How do you format code - do I use block quote?  

Regards

Paul

Hello P.,
 

1. for embed image, choose 'Image' and add URL to the PlantUML online server of your diagram, as:

http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/svg/dLF1RXCn4BtlLqnpOP588wIUAeHQKW5LgQWQ5Gw0q6GzIQnuRTSUfmJ4lpExtcm9BIj4BzrvRvxVc-dq9386JhKf3dp0POqGQAEZTXQU5yMJkDRMOy0QZBR4Mq_W0g_SeuntPjiKeeFfKN6WRMMIeXGCh9XzF9vC0juTBZMlqZn52fMpJ9OFArTFl47Rv1X7LaRF9zEZyLK3tLo-czGOcO90NwUYGB48Xrvw6wFJxobGSQ1e8N2kheJw3yTM-y1KwSXxe_GMMJ1rTUriZYDZIoNlJvAjyXSiN03vzeQ-WI89R-BGSpCjhNgXIUKd7syL6v-OikJK-nc5ZQxedoMl9HzhPuS5tQfZrlJrDIrrvB0T4fyXunmZTThPhTaXWohQlFUndyhe2fkKvpRgvOhZaFHSaMNDsquiqsteJ0Ugs0qdFRTCoz3wP6storTfq6z6LGgztmLjFs0oFAJuIDs9oOSCjpjWGmi6TX2Q4K6raILBVzhDINbdPRfO51whDIu9Hc-CcwCPmOy2u6_hAb4_Wv4Gi4D6Ke-UzfBz9PM8IlZFjYNbLqj3pukui-sVU7WJ9LQXCPrUPo-Gd-BdRy5lBc3c4g_setSxBp7wBdA7GFFlsCVUstMvtWWk5RHbt_JdmPNnrWZNb11b4Dhlp7-D4dtZB0L8TT-nVn1bd0kpYoP0RimZIdOOlmHvw1X6RrsKTHVe1Mj03STmwQmMVssNztWLXBXAne2kPJ_t1Af6WLP01RlZpdGIFivRtTpek8AQOjo9XLjlXBicUK60ICpY65loHTRUcgvXSXSq4oXaB0gHZJ-jj1AlBzcYE26hv4f_0G00

2. for 'formatted code' choose 'format' ("Paragraph Format" after font and size) then "Formatted" (the last on the format menu list) (or in french 'Format' > 'Formaté')

If that can help,
