Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming
Package: MindFusion.Diagramming

 Syntax

C#

public class AnchorPattern : ICloneable, IPersists

Visual Basic

Public Class AnchorPattern
    Implements ICloneable, IPersists

 Remarks

A pattern can be assigned as an integral entity to the AnchorPattern property of nodes. By default, when assigning a pattern to a node, a new copy of the pattern is created. Thus you can modify nodes' anchor patterns independently at runtime. However, if your anchor patterns won't change while the application executes, you can register them as shared to save storage space for the diagram. To do so, use AnchorPattern constructors that take a string id parameter. The AnchorPattern class exposes several predefined patterns as static properties; all of them are considered shared.
