shape of styles is not being applied

[philcruz]

If I have a dsl with the basic getting started

workspace "Getting Started" "This is a model of my software system." {

    model {
        user = person "User" "A user of my software system."
        softwareSystem = softwareSystem "Software System" "My software system."

        user -> softwareSystem "Uses"
    }

    views {
        systemContext softwareSystem "SystemContext" "An example of a System Context diagram." {
                include *
                autoLayout
        }

        styles {
            element "Software System" {
                    background #1168bd
                    color #ffffff
            }
            element "Person" {
                    shape person
                    background #08427b
                    color #ffffff
            }
        }
    }

}

and I export that to plantUML, all the shapes are rectangles. The user is not rendered with a Person shape. What is the issue?

Hmm....if you use that dsl on https://structurizr.com/dsl it renders the Person shape. But if you use the option to export to plantulm and render the plantuml it just renders as rectangles.

Some export formats do not support all of the available shapes/features - see Structurizr - Rendering tools for a comparison.

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification.
