tikz-uml
The doc of tikz-uml package says that the font size in diagrams could be changed by \tikzumlset{font=\footnotesize}, yet the font itself is not changed. I would like to change the font (in diagrams, not globally) from default style into mono style, say, monaco. Thanks!
BTW: I use XeLaTeX and \setmonofont{Monaco} to set global mono font.
The umlcall environment does
\pgfkeys{/tikzuml/call/.cd,%
dt/.initial={tikzumlEmpty},%
padding/.initial=2,%
[...]
so there's no way to pass different initial values except correcting the environment's definition. Here's a way with xpatch.
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\xpatchcmd{\umlcall}
{dt/.initial={tikzumlEmpty}}
{dt/.initial=5}
{}{}
\xpatchcmd{\umlcall}
{padding/.initial=2}
{padding/.initial=3}
{}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{umlseqdiag}
\umlbasicobject{B}
\umlbasicobject[x=6]{C}
\begin{umlcall}[op=msg1, return={r0, r1}, dt=4, padding=3]{C}{B}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=callback, return={ok}, dt=5, padding=3]{B}{C}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=msg2, return=r2, dt=5, padding=3]{C}{B}
\end{umlcall}
\end{umlseqdiag}
\end{tikzpicture}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{umlseqdiag}
\umlbasicobject{B}
\umlbasicobject[x=6]{C}
\begin{umlcall}[op=msg1, return={r0, r1}, dt=4]{C}{B}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=callback, return={ok}]{B}{C}
\end{umlcall}
\begin{umlcall}[op=msg2, return=r2]{C}{B}
\end{umlcall}
\end{umlseqdiag}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
I typeset the original call and the new one where the values are not specified in order to see they're identical.
You can mix tikz-uml nodes with regular, customizable tikz nodes. In the example below a style is defined for a simple state, to connect to the uml nodes.
Code:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz-uml}
\tikzset{singlestate/.style={draw,fill=yellow!20, rounded corners}}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\umlstateinitial[name=initial]
\node[singlestate] at (5,0) (create){Create ticket};
\umlstatedecision[y=-3,x=5,name=decision]
\node[singlestate] at (1,-3)(reproduce){Reproduce issue};
\node[singlestate] at (10,-3)(update){Update ticket};
\umltrans{initial}{create}
\umltrans{create}{decision}
\umltrans{update}{decision}
\umltrans{decision}{reproduce}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Simply add the font family command (here,
\ttfamily) to the value of thefontkey along with the size command\footnotesize:This solution is independent of how you select a particular monospaced font, whether by
fontspecor by standard methods.\ttfamilywill use whichever fixed-width font is selected by the rest of the code.The reference page LaTeX font commands lists all available font commands for LaTeX. See the "activated by" column in the table there. In general, font families can be selected using a switch command that remains in effect for the entire group (such as
\ttfamilyhere), or using a macro with an argument (such as\texttt{<text>}). In your use case, we use the switch command since TikZ will place these commands inside a group with the node contents.
