Hey

I wonder if its possible to display an event message below (instead of above) an arrow? We'd need this for improving readablity with response events.

Good idea!

This is not possible with current release. However, with last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

you can have:

@startuml
skinparam belowForResponse true
Bob -> Alice : hello
Alice -> Bob : ok
@enduml

We don't like the name "belowForResponse" so we are open for a better name.

Is this what you were looking for ?

oh wow, that's perfect, thanks for that quick response & implementation.

I agree `belowForResponse` doesn't sound very descriptive. What about sth.  like `responseMessageBelowArrow`

how about messageBelowArrow ?

Hello all,

To complete:

  • belowForResponse and  messageBelowArrow are too old...
  • Now with responseMessageBelowArrow
