No text alignment skinparam for labels in state diagram

[jessetan]

There is no skinparam to control the alignment of labels in state diagrams (or I couldn't find one).

It is possible to use DefaultTextAlignment but that will affect other labels as well.

Given input:

@startuml
skinparam StateTextAlignment left

[*] --> State : This is a label\nover multiple lines
@enduml

Result:

Expected result:

Thanks for the suggestion.
So with last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar you can now have:

@startuml
skinparam stateMessageAlignment left
[*] --> State : This is a label\nover multiple lines
@enduml

Is this what you are looking for ?

Yes, that works great!
Is there a way to increase the distance between the label and the arrow?

Was trying that solution for the latest plantuml. It is not working. Any update?
