Hi,

I am doing a project based on the OrgChart sample. I programatically create a diagram (with custom shaped nodes) and perform a LayeredLayout:

I wish for the anchor points to be only in the middle (at top and bottom) of the node and use the following code:

[code]
foreach (var node in nodes)
{
var diagramNode = new OrgChartNode();
diagramNode.ImageWebLocation = "ac0026-64.png";
diagramNode.FullName = node.Attribute("FullName").Value;
diagramNode.JobTitle = node.Attribute("JobTitle").Value;
diagramNode.Department = node.Attribute("Department").Value;
diagramNode.RiskStatus = node.Attribute("RiskStatus").Value;
diagramNode.RoleType = node.Attribute("RoleType").Value;
diagramNode.IntSuccessors = node.Attribute("IntSuccessors").Value;
diagramNode.ExtSuccessors = node.Attribute("ExtSuccessors").Value;
diagramNode.MouseRightButtonDown += new MouseButtonEventHandler(diagramNode_MouseRightButtonDown);
diagramNode.MouseRightButtonUp += new MouseButtonEventHandler(diagramNode_MouseRightButtonUp);

// Anchors
AnchorPattern ap = new AnchorPattern(new AnchorPoint[]{new AnchorPoint(50, 0), new AnchorPoint(50, 100)});
diagramNode.AnchorPattern = ap;

diagram.Nodes.Add(diagramNode);
nodeMap[node.Attribute("id").Value] = diagramNode;
}
[/code]

Yet when i call:

[code]
var layout = new LayeredLayout(MindFusion.Diagramming.Silverlight.Layout.Orientation.Vertical, 80, 250, new Size(10, 10));
layout.LinkType = LayeredLayoutLinkType.Cascading;
layout.Arrange(diagram);

[/code]

The result is like in the above picture. Is there a way to constrain the anchor points as i would like (i have probably missed something very basic!)?

Thanks in advance.

I tried that, before and after the Arrange call - no difference I'm afraid.

Actually Anchoring.Keep does make the Arrange call honour the AnchorPoints.....

Thanks for the pointer.

Thanks - works with Reassign and Keep now.

Cheers
