Could you support floating notes for sequence and all other type of diagrams?

Question

Hello!

Currently floating notes are supported for component diagram:

@startuml

note as floatingLegend
   some legend
end note

component a {
}

component b {
}

a->b:test

@enduml

However, it breaks for sequence diagram:

@startuml

note as floatingLegend
   some legend
end note

participant a
participant b
a->b: test

@enduml

Answer 1

Hello B.,

• What is the meaning of a floating note on sequence?

If you want really a note outside the sequence, we can use sub-diagram, as:

@startuml
note as floatingLegend
   some legend
end note

label l [
{{
participant a
participant b
a->b: test
}}
]
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards.

Th.

no, I want a note that is floating the same way as in example component diagram:

and the same syntax would be very preferable for sequence:

no sub-diagram
