[Eugenia] How to specify nodes without a figure? [message #12727]

I would like to specify "nodes" inside a compartment that are just
represented by their label (i.e. maybe with a prefixed icon, but
otherwise just a text-line and no surrounding rectangle, ellipse or
whatever).

I couldn't figure out, how to specify this. Is this possible? If so, a
hint on how would be appreciated!

Hi Michael,

As a workaround you could set border.color="255,255,255" (or whatever
the background color is) to your node. If this doesn't cut it, please
file a bug and we'll look into it asap.

Cheers,
Dimitrios

Hm - almost. I had to fiddle somewhat with the size to get a decent
height (because the default figure is too big, esp. to high which causes
very odd looking lists). I guess the drawback with this approach is,
that it now very much depends on the font size used and/or available.

Another problem is, that the horizontal width is now fixed and if one
makes the container very wide, only part of the content is shown. I
guess, that could be overcome that by simply specifying some enormous
width (>= 10000 pixels or so) but ideally that element would "simply"
adapt to the containing element's width (e.g. by specifying a width of 0
or -1).

For now I can live with it, but I guess I'll file an enhancement request
on that one, too.

Hi Michael,

I suspected that some fiddling with the dimensions of the node would be
needed. Please do file the bug and I'll start looking for a proper
solution to this.

Cheers,
Dimitris

yeah - even with the minimal size that makes sure, that no text is cut
off at the bottom, the label has too much distance at the top, so the
list looks as if only every other line is filled.
Bugzilla's coming...
