Hi all,
First off, thanks for this fabulous piece of software!
I wanted to create a component diagram styling different sets of components with different colors.
I was under the impression, by reading the Sprite and Skinparam paragraphs of the Component Diagram, that one could maybe use different styles based on stereotypes, but also that these stereotypes could be hidden by prefixing their name with a $ symbol.
So I tried something like this:
@startuml
skinparam component {
BackgroundColor<<$base>> #99ff99
BorderColor<<$base>> Black
BackgroundColor<<example>> Yellow
BorderColor<<example>> Maroon
}
package "Something" {
[baseComponent1]<<$base>>
[exampleComponent1]<<example>>
}
@enduml
However either the text within double angle brackets is shown AND the formatting is applied, or the text is hidden (due to the $ sign, I'd imagine) AND formatting is not applied.
Quite possibly, I might have misunderstood the whole thing: if that's the case, apologies in advance.
