Thanks, it really helps. Is there a way to do lines with 90 degree turns?

commented Sep 23, 2022 by The-Lu (74,900 points)

Hello K., and all,

You can test:

skinparam linetype ortho

skinparam linetype polyline

!pragma layout smetana

!pragma layout elk

but this is not conclusive...

If that can help,
Regards.

commented Sep 26, 2022 by The-Lu (74,900 points)

Hello K.,

Could you have also a look on:

http://alphadoc.plantuml.com/doc/markdown/en/wire-diagram

That is only on beta version... But all remarks or comments are welcome...

Regards.
