Is there a way to make State diagrams more organized and clean in PlantUML easily? My fear was the more stuff I add, the more convoluted it becomes and it did happen.
I tried using skinparam linetype ortho setting which made things a bit better but still not enough. Should be using a different type rather than state diagrams which may fit in well? I'm new to PlantUML and still exploring the options.
