Command \umlnote

A note is a text comment attached to a class or a relation. The \umlnote command needs the name of the node as argument:

\umlemptyclass{A1}
\umlnote[x=3]{A1}{I am a note referring to A1}
\umlnote[x=2,y=-3, width=5cm]{A1}{I am a larger note referring to A1}

Here again, you can give the name of a control node of a relation to attach the note. Giving a name to the relation will be very useful:

\umlemptyclass{A}
\umlemptyclass[x=4]{B}
\umluniassociate[arg=bb, mult=1, pos=0.95, align=right, name=uniassoc]{A}{B}
\umlnote[x=2,y=-3]{uniassoc-1}{I am a note about the unilateral association}

Notes have 2 uses: comments and constraints (generally in OCL format).

The \umlnote command has the following options:

x, y

These 2 options define the coordinates of the note.

width

This option defines the width of the note. For TikZ users, it encapsulates the text width option

weight, arm, anchor1, anchor2, anchors

These options has the same behavior as for \umlrelationship, arm being equivalent to arm1, namely attached to the note.

\umlemptyclass{A}
\umlemptyclass[x=4]{B}
\umluniassociate[arg=bb, mult=1, pos=0.95, align=right, name=uniassoc]{A}{B}
\umlnote[y=-3, geometry=|-|, anchor1=70, arm=0.5cm]{uniassoc-1}{I am a note about the unilateral association}

For a note, you can also use the geometry option, as for \umlrelationship. Default value is - -. For other values, aliases have been defined: \umlHVnote, \umlVHnote, \umlHVHnote and \umlVHVnote.

Warning

For each of these aliases, the geometry option is forbidden.
