Styling of qualified associations

Question

Hi guys,

Having this diagram

@startuml
    interface Map<K,V>
    class HashMap<Long,Customer>

    Map <|.. HashMap
    Shop [customerId: long] ---> "customer\n1" Customer
    HashMap [id: Long] -r-> "value" Customer
@enduml

Is it possible to style blocks under `<...>` and `[...]`? What tags / skinparams should be used?

Thanks!

Hello M.,

It is not yet possible; You are right...
It is not yet implemented...

1/ But for example cardinality and qualified associations inherited of arrow style... as:

@startuml
<style>
arrow {
  FontColor Blue
  FontSize 14
  FontStyle bold
  BackgroundColor pink
}
</style>

    interface Map<K,V>
    class HashMap<Long,Customer>

    Map <|.. HashMap
    Shop [customerId: long] ---> "customer\n1" Customer
    HashMap [id: Long] -r-> "value" Customer

@enduml

2/ But that can be a good wanted feature...

If that can help,

Regards,
Th.
