Custom drawing AnchorPoints

I'm drawing the anchorpoints of my Box objects myself, since I want to show some text next to the anchorpoint. However, when the text is too long, the Box object clips it. Is there a way to set the clip rectangle or are there other ways to achieve what i want?

thanks

The flowchart repaints only a small area around a modified box, and if part of the text gets out of that area it is clipped. I guess we could implement some method to let you increase the repaint area.

Or you could try attaching a locked transparent box to the box that has the anchor points. If the attached box is larger than the main one, you will get a wider area invalidated whe the box is modified.

We will try to use the workaround you suggested for now.

However, would it be possible to make AnchorPoints have tooltip text as well? So that when you hover over an anchorpoint, a description pops up.

That should be easy to implement, we'll add AnchorPoint tooltips in next version.
