labeled nodes vertical text #611

Open dullbananas opened 3 years ago

These are centered aligned. They would look better left-aligned, and rotated when vertical D628AC0F-0D4B-4A5C-BC52-950EC59BD711

not sure about the rotation when vertical. just space them farther apart?

dullbananas commented 3 years ago

You are right. Maybe it should only be left-aligned when horizontal

dullbananas commented 3 years ago

or maybe wrap the text when vertical

pfalstad commented 3 years ago

The idea behind labeled nodes is to identify pins in subcircuits, and to connect parts of a circuit without having to route wires. So in both cases, the labels should be relatively short. If you want to add text to describe parts of a circuit, you can create text elements, which can be wrapped onto multiple lines (by using \n to add line breaks)

This is partly fixed but I'm leaving it open because it might be useful to have the node name printed vertically as an option.
