Border thickness

Question

Hello,

 

Border thickness seems to be only skinable in sequence diagrams. Would it be possible to generalize it? For instance:

 

skinparam classBorderThickness .5

 

By the way, the border thickness skinparams do not appear in the -language output.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Fred

what about rectangle border?

Hi, not sure to understand your remark.
Could you give more details? Thanks

Answer 1

Good idea,

We have implemented it in this beta:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

(and the -language has been corrected too)
This will be in version 7998.

skinparam classBorderThickness .5
class Foo
interface Foo2

Do not hesitate to ask for other borders thickness.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Something like that would be ideal: being able to add borders to titles.

It would also be useful to be able to add a border to the whole diagram, with something like: skinparam diagramborderthickness 2

Cheers!

About title, with last beta:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar

You can have:
@startuml
skinparam titleBorderRoundCorner 15
skinparam titleBorderThickness 2
skinparam titleBorderColor red
skinparam titleBackgroundColor AliceBlue-Bisque
title My Title
Bob -> Alice : hello
@enduml

I hope that you'll like this.

DiagramBorderThickness remains to be done

usecaseBorderThickness would be most helpful.

Also, any way to display linked images in place of actor stick-figures?

And a long overdue "Thank you" for this most awesome tool! :-)

---

Nice idea!
With last beta:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/koo42q3d9gxw288/plantuml.jar?dl=0
You can now have:
@startuml
skinparam UsecaseBorderThickness 0.5
usecase foo1
@enduml
Is this what you are expecting ?
Thanks!

I want to say yes and thank you, especially that your response was so incredibly fast!

But this is where I embarrassingly reveal my unfamiliarity with the command line, and that my use of PlantUML up to this point has solely been via javascript calls to the plantuml.com server.

That said, I managed to install Homebrew and Graphviz, and will report back a more proper thanks once I’ve figured out how to work with .jar’s. It’s a new world for me.

Answer 2

is it possible to fine tune rectangle border thickness in component diagram?

Comments

With last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
You can have:
@startuml
skinparam rectangleBorderThickness 0.5
rectangle foo1
@enduml

Is this what you are expecting ?

---

yes, thanks!

Answer 3

Do you think we can have the same thing for Components ?

componentBorderThickness ?

Comments

Good idea!

With last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar
you can have

@startuml
skinparam componentBorderThickness 0.5
component foo1
@enduml

Answer 4

BorderThickness is great!

Would it be possible to get border thickness for the following elements?

• actorBorderThickness
• artifactBorderThickness
• boundaryBorderThickness
• cloudBorderThickness
• controlBorderThickness
• databaseBorderThickness
• entityBorderThickness
• fileBorderThickness
• folderBorderThickness
• frameBorderThickness
• interfaceBorderThickness
• nodeBorderThickness
• packageBorderThickness
• queueBorderThickness
• stackBorderThickness
• storageBorderThickness

This should complete the property for all objects in deployment diagrams.

Comments

Well, there is an ongoing process to rework the skinparam feature (see http://wiki.plantuml.net/site/style-evolution ), so we'd better integrate your request in the new style implementation.

Do you need a different setting for all elements ?

---

Thanks for considering. I don't need different settings. One global setting for border thickness would be much more convenient for me.

---

Hello,

has the one global setting for border thickness (one for all shapes) been ever implemented?

Thank you!

---

Hello B., and all,

Yes, for that you can use global style with `element`, as:

<style>
element {
  LineThickness 3
}
</style>

Enjoy,

Th.

Thank you for the reply!

btw, it looks as it does not work for actorStyle awesome:

Hello B., and all,

Thanks for your test, I just open this wanted feature:

• [Style] Allow LineThickness style for awesome Actor on Component/UC/Deployment diagram
  https://github.com/plantuml/plantuml/issues/1596

Hi Boshka, and all,

FYI, for "actorStyle awesome" it is fixed from last version V1.2023.13.

Thanks to PlantUML Teams,
