Namespace: com.mindfusion.diagramming
Package: com.mindfusion.diagramming

 Syntax

Java

public class NodeLabel extends ItemLabel implements Externalizable

 Remarks

The position of a label is determined by where it is pinned relative to node's bounding box, and offset from the pin point, as set using setCornerPosition, setEdgePosition and setCenterPosition methods. In addition, the HorizontalAlign and VerticalAlign properties specify whether the label is centered on its pin point or aligned to it.

Apart from Text, a label can also display java.awt.Image bitmap assigned to the Image property. This lets you draw multiple icons inside a node. If a label contains both image and text, their relative position can be set using the ImageAlign property.

You can let users arrange labels manually by setting the Behavior property of DiagramView to MoveLabels.
