Association Node breaks link direction

asked Dec 4, 2015 in Bug by valexiev (1,200 points)

Take a look a this diagram, and note these nodes on top: father (ia:123), mother (ia:124) and standalone (ia_1000042_ia125_has_father_123). They are positioned the way I want, but I also want to attach the standalone node as an Association Node on the has_father relation.

To do this, edit the source at the above link and put this line before @enduml:

(ia_1000042, ia_123) . ia_1000042_ia125_has_father_123

As a result, the father & mother nodes drop below the ia:1000042 node, and the has_father relation has wrong direction! This contradicts the following:

ia_1000042 -up-> ia_123 : gvp:ia125_has_father

Thanks for the report : this is indeed a bug.

We will investigate this, but in the meanwhile, you can turn around it by changing :

(ia_1000042, ia_123) . ia_1000042_ia125_has_father_123

to :

(ia_123, ia_1000042) . ia_1000042_ia125_has_father_123

The result is here . Is this what you are expecting ?

Thanks for the super fast answer! (I could swear I tried that, but obviously not... Or my version is slightly older than the server).
As you can imagine, this diagram is generated (from RDF). So now I'll seek to fix my tool to emit the two nodes in the right order, depending on orientation.

Related question: as far as I can see, "." vs ".." makes no difference here?

You can try the last beta https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13064071/plantuml.jar
This bug should be fixed (very few test done...)

The bug is still present: the Association node is attached, but the Mother (ia_124) and Father (ia_123)  nodes are moved below the Hercules (ia_1000042) node

Could you build the shortest test case that shows the issue ?

It would definitively help !

Thanks!
