Alignment of text within class-element
« on: January 17, 2008, 07:49:58 am »
Dear developers,

text within my class-diagram-elements is center-aligned.

How can I "left-align" this text?

Thank you in advance

The OMG Specification (formal) http://www.omg.org/docs/formal/07-11-02.pdf specifies the text as bold and centred:

Style Guidelines
• Attribute names typically begin with a lowercase letter. Multi-word names are often formed by concatenating the words
and using lowercase for all letters except for upcasing the first letter of each word but the first.
• Center the name of the classifier in boldface.
• Center keyword (including stereotype names) in plain face within guillemets above the classifier name.
• For those languages that distinguish between uppercase and lowercase characters, capitalize names (i.e, begin them
with an uppercase character).
• Left justify attributes and operations in plain face.
• Begin attribute and operation names with a lowercase letter.
• Show full attributes and operations when needed and suppress them in other contexts or references.

The only way I know you may change it is ShapeScripting http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?shape_editor_2.htm.
Though left alignment seems inconsistent to me.
