Hi all,
These codes shows a label in the middle of a connection:
Label label=new Label();
label.setText("test");
conn.add(label,new MidpointLocator(conn, 0));

But replace them with following code, nothing is in the middle(expecting an
triangle):
conn.add(new PolygonDecoration(),new MidpointLocator(conn, 0));

why?

Regards
Hao

What do you mean nothing? What were you expecting? That triangle is the
polygon decoration you added. Usually, the polygon decorations are used
with endpoint locators to create arrowheads on either end of the connection.

A PolygonDecoration is a RotatableDecoration and requires a special locator:
ArrowLocator.
PolygonDecoration is a Polygon. You cannot call setBounds on polygon
either.

I see, however, what should I do to place a rotatable trianble in the middle
of a polyline connection?

Problem solved using following subclass of MidpointLocator, thanks.

class MyMidpointLocator extends MidpointLocator {
public MyMidpointLocator(Connection c, int i) {
super(c, i);
}
public void relocate(IFigure target) {
PointList points = getConnection().getPoints();
RotatableDecoration arrow = (RotatableDecoration) target;
arrow.setLocation(getLocation(points));
arrow.setReferencePoint(points.getPoint(getIndex()));
}
}
