ArchiMate icons for product and object - line wrap
« on: June 16, 2011, 11:07:03 pm »
As an ArchiMate user, I would like ArchiMate product icons and ArchiMate object icons to handle multi-line name/title strings gracefully.

Currently, the rendering does not wrap name/title text correctly within the bounding text box:



The other "information" / "passive structure" icons are OK:



The Open Group documentation for the data object in ArchiMate provides the following example, which wraps the text inside the whole box (including the top dividing line):



...but then a moment later it gives the following example that has all the text within the lower "partition":



Either approach would work well in practice I think:



FWIW, the Archi modelling tool takes the "all in the lower partition" approach (but I'm not saying this is the right way!):



Thelonius has previously raised the same point about multi-line wrapping in the Automation forum, so could you consider this request to have two votes already?

The Grouping construct has the same problem:
