Move text labels above lines? #1977

Open tedyoung opened 2 weeks ago

tedyoung commented 2 weeks ago

I'm trying to use D2 for sequence diagrams, but I find the labeling of messages hard to read and prefer the text to be above the line (as in PlantUML and Mermaid) instead of in it. I tried the following:

shape: sequence_diagram
Player1 -> UI: Join game {
  label.near: outside-top-center
}

but the label.near doesn't seem to have an effect on the text label. Is this not supported?

0.65 would not do it.

shape: sequence_diagram

Player1 -> UI:  Join game

Player1 -> UI:  {
source-arrowhead: Join game
}
Player1 -> UI:  {
target-arrowhead: Join game
}
