newpage don't keep params

Question

For example:

@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
<stuff here>
newpage
<second stuff here>
@enduml
 

Second page does not respect skinparam and get back to default.

If I put the same skinparam after newpage, planuml crash.

Hello,

Thanks for the report. Which version of PlantUML are you using ?

We have tested the following example, and it seems to work:

@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
Alice -> Bob : ok1
newpage
Alice -> Bob : ok2
@enduml
 

Could you post a simple crashing example ?

Thanks again!

Answer 2

Your example works.

I am generating usecase diagram:

@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
(Alice) -> Bob : ok1
newpage
(Alice) -> Bob : ok2
@enduml

This is not OK.

My version is 8032

The environment variable GRAPHVIZ_DOT has not been set
Dot executable is /usr/bin/dot
Dot version: dot - graphviz version 2.36.0 (20140111.2315)
OpenJDK Runtime Environment
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM

This is not very consistent with sequence diagram, but you can repeat the skinparam command.

On version 8033, the following example is working:

@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
(Alice) -> Bob : ok1
newpage
skinparam handwritten true
(Alice) -> Bob : ok2
@enduml

Is it crashing on your config ?

Your example is ok.

But this one crash:

@startuml
skinparam hand {
    written true
}
(Alice) -> Bob : ok1
newpage
skinparam hand {
    written true
}
(Alice) -> Bob : ok2
@enduml

Note the use of { }
If I remove the second { } it is ok.

Ok, thanks for the example.
This should be fixed with last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
Tell us if it's working for you now!
