Node centering issue in tree layout with anchors not in the center (Read 2848 times)

	Hi Stoyo, I'm having an issue in TreeLayout when I use the side by side vertical layout (i.e. nodes in the same branch are laid out on the left and right side of the vertical branch. The problem is that the content of my nodes is not centered so to have it look nice I have defined anchors at 33,0 and 33, 100. This works fine (i have Anchor.AutoReassign in the layout), but not for nodes that are on the left part of the side by side vertical branch which are "shifted to the right and so overlap the vertical middle line. It looks like the layout still uses the middle of the node. How can I fix this? Thanks, JF

	Hi, Could you post your layout code and a sample diagram xml file? Stoyan

	Stoyan, I sent you an email with screenshots. Let me know if this is enough, if not I'll try to extract some code. JF

	You should be able to center the symbols by offsetting all non-assistant node rectangles by the horizontal distance from the symbol center to actual node center. Call the SetBounds(false, false) overload to move nodes without modifying the link paths set by TreeLayout. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Thanks! This works. I actually tried this but I was stupidly using Move() instead of SetBounds and obviously this was moving the links as well. JF
