Linetypes in PlantUML

Sometimes your boxes in PlantUML end up next to each other. In this case, PlantUML by default adds a curved line which doesn't look very tidy.

gist_demo_reg

To fix this, you can use the skinparam linetype as below

Add ortho linetype:

skinparam linetype ortho

gist_demo_ortho

Add polyline linetype:

skinparam linetype polyline

gist_demo_polyline

Full plantuml:

@startuml

skinparam linetype polyline

database "MySQL" as mysql #grey
database "Oracle" as oracle #grey
rectangle "Container" as ws #grey {
    rectangle "Test job" as testjob #yellow
}
oracle -left-> testjob
testjob <-right- mysql
