problems with png size or the skinparam

Dears,

The result of the code below is different when skinparam is set to higher value to the state when skinparam is not set.

It seems the reason for the problem is, that PNG file is somewhere limited to 4096 Pixels.

So the result image for the 300 dpi is only a part.

 

@startuml

' Works
skinparam dpi 150

' Does not work from dpi > 200

skinparam dpi 300

participant TheSecondVeryLongName as TSVLN
participant TheThirdVeryLongName as TTVLN
participant TheForthVeryLongName as T4VLN
boundary TheFifthVeryLongName as T5VLN
participant TheSixthVeryLongName as T6VLN
boundary TheSeventhVeryLongName as T7VLN

==veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant==

[-> TFVLN : veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant
TFVLN -> TSVLN : veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant
TSVLN -> TTVLN : veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant
TTVLN -> T6VLN : veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant
T6VLN -> T7VLN : veryLongCallNameWithSomeAdditionalNotesWhichAreImportant

The other code below does not work as well - the result image is cropped:

Hello,

To avoid memory issue, we have indeed limited image dimension to 4096.

However, there is a variable that you can change to override this limitation : PLANTUML_LIMIT_SIZE

See http://plantuml.com/faq.html

Hope this helps!

Dears,

At least for me this variable even set to 16000 does not help.
Further png file was limited to 4096.

Best regards,
Seweryn.

Which version are you using ? You have to upgrade to V8036.
And the variable has to be set before launching PlantUML

The version you are using (8034) is too old. You have to upgrade to 8036
