Question - when colour is defined via UpdateElementStyle the legend is not updated

[ghost]

Hi team,

According to doc #Custom schema definition,

if the custom (color) schema is defined via UpdateElementStyle() then the legend of existing elements is updated too.

However, when colour is defined via UpdateElementStyle the legend won't be updated

It's updated when SHOW_LEGEND() is added

Can you kindly suggest ? Thanks a lot

UpdateElementStyle("system", $bgColor=$COLOR_BG, $fontColor=$COLOR_FONT, $borderColor=$COLOR_BORDER)

!$COLOR_REL_LINE = "#000080"
!$COLOR_REL_TEXT = "#2E8B57"
UpdateRelStyle($lineColor=$COLOR_REL_LINE, $textColor=$COLOR_REL_TEXT)

Person(admin, "User")
System_Boundary(app, "App") {
    System(backend, "App Back End")
    System(ui, "App UI")
}
ContainerDb(twitter, "Twitter", "DB")


Rel(admin, ui, "uses")
BiRel(backend, ui, "data")
BiRel(backend, twitter, "data")

SHOW_LEGEND()

Hi Victoria,

SHOW_LEGEND() is the replacement of LAYOUT_WITH_LEGEND(). But SHOW_LEGEND() has to be the last entry in the diagram, therefore we still have LAYOUT_WITH_LEGEND() that old diagrams are working.

(If you have a better comments we could update README.md)

Comments

• SHOW_LEGEND() supports the customized stereotypes
  (LAYOUT_WITH_LEGEND() cannot be used, if the custom tags/stereotypes should be displayed in the legend).
• SHOW_LEGEND() has to be last line in diagram.

If you use SHOW_LEGEND() then LAYOUT_WITH_LEGEND() is not required anymore.

Best regards
Helmut
