does anyone know a way of displaying a label in a collapsed compartment?

e.g.

___________________
Node Label
___________________
> compartment label
___________________


Thanks in advance,
Gary

I think you could look at mindmap example.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I've already taken a look at these demos, and they don't do it the way I
need!

...These are simply nodes with a label and then the compartment below
them, the compartment itself doesn't have a label!

THE PROBLEM:
- I can't put the label outside the compartment because that looks a
mess, and its not clear that the label belongs to the compartment.
- I can't put the label inside the compartment because when it is
collapsed you can't see it.

I simply need to set a label that is displayed at the side of the arrow
which is used to collapse and expand the compartment so you know what the
compartment is for.

Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Gary

Hi Gary,

In your gmfgraph, when you defined your compartment :
just set the properties "name" with the nam eyou want and the "needs title" to true.

Hi, fixed it!
There must have been a problem in code generation because I rebuilt my
nodes and re-generated and it was ok!

Thanks for all your help,
Gary
