Diagram.DrawStyledText Method

Draws a formatted text string, the same way text is drawn in shape nodes whose EnableStyledText property is set to true. This method lets you display styled text in custom-drawn nodes or links.

Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming

public static void DrawStyledText (
    IGraphics graphics,
    string text,
    Font font,
    Brush textBrush,
    Rect textBounds,
    StringFormat format
)

Visual Basic

Public Shared Sub DrawStyledText( _
    graphics As IGraphics, _
    text As String, _
    font As Font, _
    textBrush As Brush, _
    textBounds As Rect, _
    format As StringFormat _
)

The IGraphics canvas on which to draw.

The text that should be drawn, including formatting tags.

 Remarks

You might use this method when you custom-draw shape nodes and still need to use the EnableStyledText rendering functionality of MindFusion.Diagramming.

 Example

The following sample code illustrates how to manually render styled text.

C#

private void diagram_DrawNode(object sender, DrawNodeEventArgs e)
{
    Diagram.DrawStyledText(e.Graphics, "<b>test</b> <i>test</i>",
        diagram.Font, Brushes.Black, e.Node.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault);
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub diagram_DrawNode(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DrawNodeEventArgs) Handles diagram.DrawNode

    Diagram.DrawStyledText(e.Graphics, "<b>test</b> <i>test</i>", _
        diagram.Font, Brushes.Black, e.Node.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault)

End Sub
