Notes & Fragments

Comprehensive Notes

SparkChart supports a wide range of note placements and styling options. You can position notes relative to signals (`left`, `right`), over participants (`over`, `over ...`), across the diagram (`across`), or relative to specific participants (`right of`, `left of`). Colors can be applied using hex codes or color names.

Grouping Message

Group messages using keywords like alt/else, opt, loop, par, break, critical, and group.

Group Coloring

You can add colors to the group header, body, and even specific else or option blocks.
