Hello,

I am using the following code to resize my node after I enter in about 30 lines of text - 134 chars each line (each line ends with a CRLF)

 Dim node2 As ShapeNode = VectorDiagram.Factory.CreateShapeNode(New PointF(VectorDiagram.Bounds.Width / 2, VectorDiagram.Bounds.Bottom + 2), New SizeF(45, 15), Shape.FromId("Rectangle"))
node2.TextFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Near
Dim r = New RectangleF(node2.Bounds.Left, node2.Bounds.Top, 20, 20)
node2.PolygonalTextLayout = True
node2.Bounds = r
node2.Text = "    Name:   "  & vvCrLf _
				    & vbCrLf & sVeryBigString
Font = New Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, 10)
node2.Font = Font
node2.ResizeToFitText(FitSize.KeepRatio)
 

When the node displays on my screen, the text 'almost' fits, but I still need to drag the node width wise a little wider to get each line to fit on one line without word wrapping.

Can someone tell me how to get each text line to fit on one line when I use the resize option?

Thanks!
Barry

Hello,

When I add the line:

node2.TextFormat.FormatFlags = StringFormatFlags.NoWrap

Before using the ResizeToFit function, I end up with a rectangle with the height perfect, but the width of the rectangle is now half the size showing only 35 characters.

Thanks Stoyan,

Do you have an example I can use to just save a node to a filename?


Thanks!
Barry

Hi,

It turns out ResizeToFitText doesn't honor the NoWrap flag when using the KeepRatio mode, so for now add this code:

n.TextFormat.FormatFlags = n.TextFormat.FormatFlags | StringFormatFlags.NoWrap;
n.ResizeToFitText(FitSize.KeepWidth);
n.TextFormat.FormatFlags = n.TextFormat.FormatFlags & ~StringFormatFlags.NoWrap;
n.ResizeToFitText(FitSize.KeepHeight);

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,

Just replace the following symbols and remove the ";" from the line ends:

| -> or
& -> and
~ -> not

I hope that helps,
