Hi,
I'm new to plantuml and until now loving it.
But I have a small problem:
I want to draw a picture depicting that we have one package defining in interface (and implementing it with some simulation implementation). And 2 other packages doing the real implementation of the interface.
What I would like is to show the defining package on top and the implementing interfaces side-by-side below it.
Up to now I only succeeded in having all packages below eachother:
@startuml
left to right direction
package Defining {
interface MyInterface
component [Simulation]
[Simulation]-up.>MyInterface
}
Package Real1 {
component [RealImp1]
[RealImp1]-up.>MyInterface
}
Package Real2 {
component [RealImp2]
[RealImp2]-up.>MyInterface
}
@enduml
If I add 'top to bottom direction' anywhere in the snippet the aligment for all changes so the packages are placed next to eachother. So I'm probably doing something wrong 
Is there a way that I can get what I want?
/*edit*/
I already found out how:
@startuml
left to right direction
package Defining {
interface MyInterface
component [Simulation]
[Simulation]-down.>MyInterface
}
Together {
top to bottom direction
Package Real1 {
component [RealImp1]
[RealImp1]-up.>MyInterface
}
Package Real2 {
component [RealImp2]
[RealImp2]-up.>MyInterface
}
}
