How to move Node Labels above the node circle?

[NiklasVJM]

Hi!

I have tried to move the labels of the nodes around, but with no success. I would like to place the node above the node circle (and for some, below the node circle), but this code provided seems to make no difference. Can you help me out with this?

       private static void SetNodeBoundary(Node drawingNode)
        {
        var font = new System.Drawing.Font(drawingNode.Label.FontName, (float) drawingNode.Label.FontSize);
        StringMeasure.MeasureWithFont(drawingNode.LabelText, font, out var width, out var height);
        drawingNode.Label.GeometryLabel = new Microsoft.Msagl.Core.Layout.Label();
        drawingNode.Label.GeometryLabel.Side = Label.PlacementSide.Top;

        drawingNode.Label.GeometryLabel.Width = width;
        drawingNode.Label.GeometryLabel.Height = width;

        drawingNode.Label.Width = width;
        drawingNode.Label.Height = -30;

        var r = drawingNode.Attr.LabelMargin;

        drawingNode.GeometryNode.BoundaryCurve =
            CurveFactory.CreateRectangleWithRoundedCorners(height + r * 2, height + r * 2, r, r, new Point(0,0));

    }

It seems you need to get into routine that draws a node and modify it.

Hi!

Thank you for the reply!

Can you explain a little further? You mean I need to modify the labels in some other place, or something? A small code snippet would be awesome. Thank you!

I was suggesting that you modify method DGraph::DrawNode. Actually, you can get around it by using DrawNodeDelegate, as in sample NodesWithImages. Anyway, you need a customized node drawing routine, and I seem do not have a sample for it, except of DrawNode() in NodesWithImages.

Ok! Thank you so much for this help! I will give this a try, of course it would be awesome to see, how a "pro" would do it, but I'll give this a go. Thank you!
