The combination of while, if, note, and break statements does not draw the figure.

Question

Hello.
When I use a combination of while, if, note, and break statements, it looks like the diagram is not drawn.
Please point out if there is any mistake in my code.

Hello P.,

• Where do you want to put the note?

Here is another example:

@startuml
while(int i=0;i<100;i++)
   if ( conf ) then (true)
    :finalize;
    note right
       if statement
    end note
    break
   endif
end while
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

Hi The-Lu.
Thank you for replying.

>Where do you want to put the note?
I thought that if I put the note statement just below the if statement, the note would appear on the right side of the line where the if statement branches off.
I wrote the note statement just below the if statement in the while statement loop, and that's what happened.

However, I got an error when I did a break in a block with an if statement, so I don't know how to write it anymore.

Based on the sample you showed me, I thought it would be better to write the following

Instead of writing the NOTE right under the if statement, I create one dummy process and write the NOTE under it.
Thank you very much for your help.

Regards.

Thanks for the report.

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

At least, it does not crash.

The drawing is not perfect, still.
