Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming
Assembly: MindFusion.Diagramming

 Syntax

C#  Copy Code

public class ShapeNode : DiagramNode, InplaceEditable

Visual Basic  Copy Code

Public Class ShapeNode
    Inherits DiagramNode
    Implements InplaceEditable

 Remarks

A ShapeNode instance might represent nodes in graphs, tree, process diagrams, and so on.

The shape of a node is specified by the Shape property. Shapes can be rotated, either interactively using the rotation handle above the node, or programmatically using the RotationAngle property.

Shape nodes can display images and text. Set an image to be painted inside a node by assigning it to the Image property. The position of the image within the node as well as its alignment are set by the ImageAlign property. To make a node as big as its image, call ResizeToFitImage.

Text inside a shape node is represented by the Text property. Its attributes can be changed by the TextBrush and TextFormat properties. To make a node big enough to display its text without clipping, call ResizeToFitText.

To let users edit a node's text inline, call the BeginEdit method of Diagram. Call EndEdit to exit in-place editing mode.

Fill and border colors can be specified by setting the Stroke and Brush properties. Shape nodes can be transparent as set through the Transparent property.

Shape nodes can have incoming and outgoing DiagramLink objects accessible through the IncomingLinks and OutgoingLinks properties defined in the DiagramNode class.
