Notes can not be added beside a grouping message

Question

This PlantUML code:

alt foo
Bob->Alice : hello
Bob<-Alice : hello
end
note right: Some explication on the large unused space beside the alt block.
Alice->John_smith : hello
Alice->An_other_actor : hello

generate this:

As you can see, I can't add a note at the right of the alt block.

Answer 1

Hello,

You use the following woraround:

@startuml

alt foo

Bob->Alice : hello

note over John_smith, An_other_actor: Some explication \non the large unused\n space beside the alt block.

Bob<-Alice : hello

end

note over John_smith, An_other_actor: Another expalanation

 

Alice->John_smith : hello

Alice->An_other_actor : hello

@enduml

 

It would be also nice to have the possibility to put negative space like this:

|| -10||

With this new feature, you will have exactly what you want

Hope this helps

 

Comments

Thank you.

Your code is not exactly what I am looking for, because the note is inside the alt block, not beside. ;-)

Answer 2

Version 8058 should solve this.

(but "note left" does not work yet)
