is it possible to make label invisible? [message #229871]

Hi

Sorry if this has been asked before, I've done a search but couldn't see
anything obvious.

I'm using a custom figure with svg, I want the user to use the
properties box to edit the attribute labels. I can associate a label as
external but in some instances I would just like it invisible on the
canvas but visible on the properties.

Is this possible?

regards
Steve

Hello Bill,

Just remove corresponding LabelMapping - label will not be visible on diagram
and you'll be able to modify the value in properties view.
Or do you need to hide/show this label based on some parameters?

Thanks Alex

That was what I was looking for, at least I learned how to do external
labels in the process of my experimentation so it wasn't time wasted

many thanks
Steve

PS I think I know what else you are alluding to - putting some kind of
filter to show/hide feature similar to UML. Maybe so in the future but
I'm just getting the core stuff working at the moment
