Timing Diagram: Feature request for adding notes

asked Dec 12, 2017 in To be sorted by Felix

I would like to be able to add some notes to the timing diagram. For concise participants this could be usefull, if some state is only active a very short time, but needs a longer explanation.

Also, I would like to explain, why a state changed in a note just at the state change.

Syntax suggestion:

@startuml
robust "Web Browser" as WB
concise "Web User" as WU

@0
WU is Idle
WB is Idle

@100
WU is Waiting: THIS TEXT SHOULD SHOW IN A NOTE ABOVE THE MIDDLE of the < Waiting > - bar
WB is Processing
WU note THIS TEXT SHOULD SHOW ABOVE THE STATE CHANGE AT T=100 AND COULD EXPLAIN WHY THE STATE CHANGED

@300
WB is Waiting

With last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar
you have a first and incomplete implementation. Example:

@startuml
robust "Web Browser" as WB
concise "Web User" as WU

@0
WU is Idle
WB is Idle

@100
WU is Waiting
WB is Processing
note bottom of WU : first note\non\nlines

@300
WB is Waiting
@enduml

Is this what you were expecting ?

Thanks!
