Please provide a skinparam to set the text aligment to center

Question

The component title used to be centered which was true even for multi-line text. Now the text lines are rendered left-aligned. I liked it better before.

I'd like a way get the old behavior using a skinparam.

PNG of this code: ["component title\n more component info"]<<myStereotype>> now looks like:

------------------------------
|       <<myStereotype>>     |
| component title            |
| more component info        |
------------------------------

but it used to look like:

------------------------------
|       <<myStereotype>>     |
|       component title      |
|     more component info    |
------------------------------

However this only seems to happen, when the title exceeds some length. Weird.

You're right, the alignment is now left by default.

If you want to change this, you can download last beta

And use:

@startuml
skinparam defaultTextAlignment center
[component title\n more component info] <<myStereotype>>
@enduml

Does it sound good to you ?

Perfect! Many thanks!

The "default" in the parameter name `defaultTextAlignment` implies that it is possible to change the text alignment for specific texts (hopefully, in a specific note box for instance). Otherwise, the parameter would be called `textAlignment`.  Is this true? and if so, how is it done?
