layout not working?

Question

I can't seem to adjust my elements' position: I add left and right in the connections but some elements are just not shifting. What is happening? Am I missing anything?

Hi C., and all,

From:

You can add just:

RR -r[hidden]- P 

And observe:

But the mean issue is:

Code	Output
@startuml allow_mixing class a class b package "center" as p { class c } a->p p->b @enduml

If that can help,
Regards.

thanks. I had tried some hidden lines for layout but didn't put them inside the package. instead I put them at the end,

I  see now that it makes the difference

But when I add linetype ortho, it dowsn't work anymore:

Here is a workaround using transparent rectangle, as:

Code

Output

@startuml hide circle hide stereotype allow_mixing skinparam linetype ortho <style> rectangle {LineColor transparent} </style> skinparam class<<MD>> { BorderColor DarkSlateGray BackgroundColor WhiteSmoke HeaderBackgroundColor #909090 } skinparam class<<TM>> { BorderColor #505090 BackgroundColor APPLICATION HeaderBackgroundColor SkyBlue } Package "Package" as S { rectangle { class "**Right**" as DC<<TM>> { ... } } Package "**Center**" as AR { file "rules" as P } rectangle { class "**Left**" as RR<<TM>> { ... } } } node "Implementation" as I { circle "Left" as Req component "Center" as AC database "Right" as DB } Req -> AC AC -> DB P -d- AC RR .d. Req DC .d. DB @enduml

If that can help,
Regards.
