nwdiag : add shape as router #1745
Comments
This would allow also a better definition of the description text without considering the visual aspect of the icon. |
Hi all, See also old request here: Regards, |
Thanks looking into this I realised they we could achieve similar results using the description field, but this is also limiting how that field is used. If the shape field is used then description content can be used in more ways. Is it possible to add this shape to the symbols available in all diagrams ? |
For example in this case for this code
If we use the shape we get something like:
and this:
For me neither of them are good examples. So it seems that using the shape option is not the best way of doing that. My goal is to undestand how i can be able to associate a textual description information with more flexibility |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In nwdiag when defining nodes part of a network we can use a limited set of shapes as defined plantuml nwdiag
as defined bellow:
I would like to allow the use of the following two options
Describe the solution you'd like
The shape option should include the option of including a firewall, and router example.
There are open icons that can be used for that.
Or the one in AWS for the router included already in plantuml
!include <aws/Compute/AmazonVPC/router/router>
Or the OSA icon for firewall
!include <osa/firewall/firewall>
Another collection of icons relevant for this feature are available here

Describe alternatives you've considered
Using the plantuml bellow provides similar results
Additional context
Using the description field to define the 'shape' is not intuitive, this option will be more user friendly for a very common use case of this nwdiag tool
