New shapes
Shape library will benefit some addition. Obvious ones would be desktop app & cli to mirror what we have for web browser & mobile, and better identify entry points in such use cases. I give a try and end up with this one for desktop:
Don't pay attention to the color, they are of course bound to matching properties.
Is this something we could submit PR for?
The code in this repo isn't yet running in the on-premises installation and cloud service, so I'd rather not add any new features quite yet ... but leave it with me and I will add desktop app and cli/terminal style shapes for you. 👍
A window shape is now available.
For the other shape (terminal, cli ... name to be decided), I was thinking of putting a > or > _ symbol in the lower left of the same shape. Thoughts?
Perfect. I was thinking about having >_ in place of 3 buttons for terminal, to end up with 3 different shapes.
Kind of:
It would also be helpful to enable use of the octagon shape in styling of elements.
In my use case it would help to create views to describe how the ideas of cell based architecture can be applied (https://github.com/wso2/reference-architecture/blob/master/reference-architecture-cell-based.md).
The octagon shape seems to be available in the bootstrap icon library, so implementation in structurizr-ui seems doable. It would however also mean a (minor) modification of struturizr-dsl (and thus structurizr-java) in order to define the octagon shape in the styling section. The modification seems to also require updates to other repositories than structurizr-ui.
Happy to help, but I may need some guidance on how to introduce the required modifications. I managed to modify and unit-test the libraries mentioned above using a containerized JDK environment. But I haven't been able to demonstrate the result as I'm struggling on how to use the updated dependencies during the build of structurizr-lite.
