ArrowThickness not applied with stereotypes

Question

Hi,

In this first example, all is fine.

@startuml Without stereotype
skinparam ArrowThickness 5

component toto
component tutu

toto -> tutu <<mystereotype>> : Foo
@enduml

But if I use stereotype, my personalisation is lost.

@startuml With stereotype
skinparam ArrowThickness<<mystereotype>> 5

component toto
component tutu

toto -> tutu <<mystereotype>> : Foo
@enduml

My version : 1.2021.7

Regards,

Hello U.,

A possible workaround is to use:

@startuml
component toto
component tutu

toto -[thickness=5]> tutu : Foo
@enduml

If that can help,

My use case is to highlight links according to their type, turn by turn.
Same code, but different points of view.

So, I won't be able to edit each link manually for each version.
That's why stereotypes looks interesting.

But thanks for the idea.

Hello all,

As for:

You can also just use variable, as:

@startuml
component toto
component tutu
component tyty

!$mysthickness="thickness=5"

toto -[$mysthickness]> tutu : Foo
toto --> tyty : Bar
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards.

Even better than previous post, as this notation is shorter than functions.

Thank you !
