Label Position of BorderItems [message #1651845]

I do have a Container with BorderItems. The border items do have a dot style and a label. Is there a way to specify where the label is placed by default? Can this be done with the StyleConfiguration/StyleConfigurationProvider extension point? I am already using this EP but I could not find any place where I can specify the location of the label.

thanks!

Hi Martin,

Do you use StyleConfiguration.getNameBorderItemLocator() method to
provide your own IBorderItemLocator?

Best Regards.

Yes I am using my own StyleConfiguration which extends the SimpleStyleConfiguration:

@Override
public IBorderItemLocator getNameBorderItemLocator(DNode node, IFigure mainFigure) {
if (node.getTarget() instanceof Input) {
BorderItemLocator locator = new BorderItemLocator(mainFigure, PositionConstants.EAST);
locator.setBorderItemOffset(new Dimension(-5, -2));
return locator;
}
if (node.getTarget() instanceof Output) {
BorderItemLocator locator = new BorderItemLocator(mainFigure, PositionConstants.WEST);
locator.setBorderItemOffset(new Dimension(-5, -2));
return locator;
}
return super.getNameBorderItemLocator(node, mainFigure);
}

The position I am passing to BorderItemLocator does not have any affect where the label is placed.

Hi Martin,

Could you provide a minimal example to reproduce your issue?

Best Regards.

Thanks for your help!

Please find attached an example how I tried to achieve having a container element (Man) with its children displayed as bordered items (boys on the west side, girls on the east side).
As you can see in the example diagram, it works fine, just the label of the girls are on the wrong side. I want to have the labels of the boys and girls inside the container, because in my diagram I want to connect these bordered items with each other.
Als an issue is, that on the girls side, the first item is not placed on the top right corner of the container. There is a space from the top right corner which is as high as the boys need on their side.
Any ideas how I can achieve that the boys are places left, girls right, label inside the container and the first boy and the first girl alligned on the top (or under the containers label)?

Thanks!
