Orthogonal (vertical) regions in states

[Zappzarapp]

Hello
I wonder if it is possible to also draw vertical concurrent substates within a state or if it is only possible to draw them horizontal.
Adding concurrent substates via Advanced->Define Concurrent Substates... only draws horizontal lines, did I miss something or is it not possible to change them into vertical lines?

I am trying to create a state machine with three concurrent regions. I would like to have the regions divided vertically, so I recently had the same question. furthermore, using the advanced option of the parent state’s context menu, I was able to define the three concurrent sub states, and this successfully made the three desired regions. My problem is that I cannot manipulate the sizes of these regions, and I can’t figure out how to add specific states (or create new states within) any of these defined regions. How might I be able to do this?

Hi
To resize the region just drag the dotted line with the mouse either up or down (BTW the mouse cursor will not change when you are over a dotted line, just drag it). If you want to have more concurrent regions within a concurrent region I would prefer to add a composite state inside the first region and to define additional concurrent regions there.

Anyway, is it possible to make the lines vertical or not?

Wow. Simple as that. Your suggestion worked. Thanks!
