Can't disable indexing on C4_Dynamic #359

Closed bgowers closed 2 months ago

bgowers commented 2 months ago

Hi,

I'm a bit of a noob with PlantUML (I only started looking into it a couple of days ago), but I can't seem to find a way to turn off indexes when using a C4_Dynamic diagram.

I tried including the C4_Sequence diagram type and using the SHOW_INDEX($show="false") function, but that ended up changing the structure of my diagram (unsurprisingly to a sequence diagram).

Is there some way to turn off indexing for a C4_Dynamic diagram?

Hi @bgowers,

Why are you using a C4_Dynamic diagram at all, if you don't want to have the indexes? What is your expected output?

Practically is the C4_Dynamic diagram a C4_Component diagram with indexing. (I would switch to C4_Component, or did I oversee a missing feature?)

Ah, that's exactly what I wanted. I should've read up on the different diagrams on the C4 model before jumping straight in. C4_Component is exactly what I need. Thanks @kirchsth!
