Hello B.,

With last online version, it seems to work:

@startuml
skinparam {
  linetype ortho
}

node a
node b
node c
node d

a -- d
b -- d
d -- c
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

An alternative is to use ELK, as:

@startuml
!pragma layout elk

node a
node b
node c
node d

a -- d
b -- d
d -- c
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

Thank you! I tried and got the following result. It runs from IntelliJ IDEA plugin for PlantUMLhttps://imagizer.imageshack.com/img923/1880/gI8Zxc.png

1/ And if you test just on one line:

skinparam linetype ortho

2/ For ELK, it must be deployed on the server before to use... (see doc. on ELK)
