Hi

I'm trying to adjust the size of a node based on the length of its label (in this case the label is the name attribute), so it doesn't get truncated.
I'm using Size computation expression to achieve this:

 aql:if self.name.toString().size()>24 then self.name.toString().size()/3 else 8 endif

This works fine for predefined styles such as a "Square", but it doesn't work as expected for "workspace image". When the condition is true it behaves as through it was set to -1, i.e. it sets resizes it to the original dimensions of the image.

Is it possible to resize node images? if not, is there another way to prevent the label from getting truncated?

Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

Indeed, we have a known issue with the Size computation expression with workspace images: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=508050
Unfortunately there is no auto-size capability on nodes but only for containers.

Regards,
Florian
