The following example can be found here: pumla Simple Hierarchical Example Folder.
The following elements are embedded into the element system, as all these elements define system as their parent
(see file markings),
and the systemelements opens the door for its children by calling the macro PUMLAInjectChildElements:
subsystemB and subsystemCthemselves have other embedded elements internally.
When you now create a simple diagram and just put the system element on it, like in this piece of pumla code
sysArch_with_all_internals.puml
that results in the following diagram:
Per default, in this project configuration, the global variable $PUMVarShowBodyInternals is set to true (as it is not
re-defined in the pumla_project_config of this example). Therefore, aall the internals of
the system and also its subsystems are shown.
If you want to just have the one element, without its internals, on the diagram, you can switch off showing the internals
by setting the global variable $PUMVarShowBodyInternals to false, as done in this diagram code
sysArch_overview_no_internals.puml
which results in this diagram:
Now, if you want to see only some internals, you can use a pumla macro to hide the internals of dedicated elements, like done in this pumla diagram code:
sysArch_with_some_internals.puml
resulting in this diagram, where subsystemAdoes not have internals, the internals of subsystemB are explicitly hidden
and the internals of subsystemC are shown as per default:
