Re: Controlling lifeline length in Sequence diagrams?

I have one with just six stimuli, and the long lifelines cause the overall image to be too high and the text to be unreadable. On another of my diagrams, the first lifeline is about three times the length of the others, and causes the overall image to be unreadable. I tried to adjust these with the broom tool, and with the Sequence diagram tool that reduces the space between stimulus arrows, but was unsuccessful. How can the length of the lifelines be controlled?

I don't know any workaround for this :-(
The quickest solution will be editing the exported image with any image editor.

As a work-around, try to use the "Add vertical space" and "Remove
vertical space". They force the redrawing of the activations.

These are well-known bugs of the current sequence diagrams implementation.
We are working in a new implementation, from scratch, that we hope it
will be available in 0.28.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
