Hi there!

I have exported a diagram to SVG and found the a text that is drawn by custom code is moved in svg. Find attached an with the result (in Firefox). .
The right is displayed in the diagram and the left is how it is viewed in Firefox.

The rectangle and text are drawn at the same location the the size of the rectangle is the size of the text given by the measurestring method.

Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?

Best regards,
Dexter

Hi Stoyo!

Here is the code that draws the text and the rectangle

Pen pen = base.HeadPen.CreateGdiPen();
Brush brush = new SolidBrush(this.TextColor);

string text2Draw = "pm"
SizeF textSize = graphics.MeasureString(text2Draw, this.Font);

graphics.DrawRectangle(pen, stringLocation.X, stringLocation.Y, textSize.Width, textSize.Height);
graphics.DrawString(text2Draw, this.Font, brush, stringLocation);

pen.Dispose();
brush.Dispose();
 

The stringLocation is calculated based on some particular parameters.

The graphics is the parameter from the override Draw method

Regards,
Dexter

Hi Stoyo,

stringLocation is a PointF structure.

Hi Stoyo!

I just read that you are planing a new release of version v5.6. Does this problem, or should I better say, the solution you provided here is solved there

I see!

On the download page for the flowchart.net there is version v5.4 http://mindfusion.eu/download-net.html

Probably there is spelling mistake.
