How can I change the arrow orientation (rotate by 180°) of this smart diagram?
\smartdiagramset{set color list={blue!40!white, blue!40!white,blue!40!white, blue!40!white, blue!40!white}}
\smartdiagram[priority descriptive diagram]{text1, text2, text3, text4, text5}
I cannot find a better way to do this, other than appending/overwriting parts of the tikz style defined for the arrow inside the priority descriptive diagram styles defined by smartdiagram.
You need to insert \tikzset{priority arrow/.append style={rotate=180,anchor=0,xshift=30,}} somewhere before the \smartdiagram[...]{...} line. This line does a few things.
rotate=90 degrees)anchor=west is default)xshift=30 (you may need to adjust this manually, depending on the size of your diagram)The MWE with these changes is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{smartdiagram}
\begin{document}
\smartdiagramset{set color list={blue!40!white, blue!40!white,blue!40!white, blue!40!white, blue!40!white}}
\tikzset{priority arrow/.append style={rotate=180,anchor=0,xshift=30,}}
\smartdiagram[priority descriptive diagram]{text1, text2, text3, text4, text5}
\end{document}
Which results in this:
smartdiagram documentation under priority descriptive diagram implementation I found the keys that you need: \smartdiagramset{module minimum height=2cm, description width=10cm,descriptive items y sep=3}. You would need to merge with anything that you already have in the \smartdiagramset arguments. descriptive items y sep needs to be modified if the height is too large -- otherwise the boxes overlap.
