Core Elements

Element	Visual	Description
Actor/Participant	Box at top + dashed vertical lifeline	Each entity in the interaction
Sync message	Solid arrow →	Request or call
Async message	Open arrowhead →	Fire-and-forget
Return message	Dashed arrow ←	Response
Activation bar	Narrow filled rect on lifeline	Entity is processing
Self-message	Arrow looping back to same lifeline	Internal processing
Note	Rounded rect with folded corner	Annotation
Alt/Opt frame	Dashed boundary with label tab	Conditional block
Loop frame	Dashed boundary with "loop" tab	Repetition

Layout Algorithm

1. Place actors horizontally across the top, evenly spaced (150-200px apart)
2. Draw lifelines as vertical dashed lines from each actor box downward
3. Place messages as horizontal arrows between lifelines, top to bottom in time order
4. Vertical spacing between messages: 40-50px
5. Activation bars: 10px wide, centered on lifeline, spanning from incoming to outgoing message

Actor Box

<!-- Actor box -->
<rect x="X" y="20" width="130" height="45" rx="6" fill="#0f172a"/>
<rect x="X" y="20" width="130" height="45" rx="6" fill="rgba(8,51,68,0.4)" stroke="#22d3ee" stroke-width="1.5"/>
<text x="CX" y="47" fill="white" font-size="11" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">Actor Name</text>

<!-- Lifeline -->
<line x1="CX" y1="65" x2="CX" y2="BOTTOM" stroke="#334155" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="6,4"/>

Message Arrows

<!-- Sync message (solid arrow) -->
<line x1="FROM_CX" y1="Y" x2="TO_CX" y2="Y" stroke="#94a3b8" stroke-width="1.5" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>
<text x="MID_X" y="Y-8" fill="#e2e8f0" font-size="9" text-anchor="middle">methodCall()</text>

<!-- Return message (dashed arrow, reversed direction) -->
<line x1="TO_CX" y1="Y" x2="FROM_CX" y2="Y" stroke="#64748b" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="6,3" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>
<text x="MID_X" y="Y-8" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="8" text-anchor="middle" font-style="italic">response</text>

<!-- Self-message (loop arrow) -->
<path d="M CX,Y L CX+40,Y L CX+40,Y+25 L CX,Y+25" fill="none" stroke="#94a3b8" stroke-width="1.5" marker-end="url(#arrow)"/>
<text x="CX+45" y="Y+15" fill="#e2e8f0" font-size="8">process()</text>

Activation Bar

<rect x="CX-5" y="START_Y" width="10" height="H" rx="2" fill="rgba(8,51,68,0.6)" stroke="#22d3ee" stroke-width="1"/>

Conditional / Loop Frames

<!-- Frame boundary -->
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="W" height="H" rx="4" fill="none" stroke="#64748b" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="4,3"/>
<!-- Frame label tab -->
<rect x="X" y="Y" width="50" height="18" rx="4" fill="rgba(30,41,59,0.8)" stroke="#64748b" stroke-width="1"/>
<text x="X+25" y="Y+13" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="8" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">alt</text>
<!-- Condition text -->
<text x="X+60" y="Y+13" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="8" font-style="italic">[condition]</text>
<!-- Divider line for else -->
<line x1="X" y1="MID_Y" x2="X+W" y2="MID_Y" stroke="#64748b" stroke-width="1" stroke-dasharray="4,3"/>
<text x="X+10" y="MID_Y+13" fill="#94a3b8" font-size="8" font-style="italic">[else]</text>

Numbering

For complex sequences (8+ messages), number each message:

<circle cx="FROM_CX-15" cy="Y" r="8" fill="rgba(59,130,246,0.3)" stroke="#60a5fa" stroke-width="1"/>
<text x="FROM_CX-15" y="Y+3" fill="#60a5fa" font-size="7" font-weight="600" text-anchor="middle">1</text>

Color Assignment

Assign each actor a distinct color from the palette. Use that color for:

• Actor box stroke
• Activation bar on that lifeline
• Outgoing arrows from that actor (optional, for visual clarity in complex diagrams)
