Alignment textnode doesn't work

[Blanca Calderon]

Hi,

I don't understand how the alignment works. If I create 3 textnodes in different possitions and I try to align left the three of then nothing happens. I would like that work like word tool, if you want to align to the left all selected nodes are shifted to the left.

Any ideas?

Hi Blanca, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

In diagram Control, Alignment works based on Diagram.Model’s “AlignmentType” property and it has two types and its explained in below, 

 

1.      SelectedNode – it used to align the node based on the position of the first node contains SelectionList.  

For example:  

If the diagram contains 3 text nodes i.e. TextNode1, TextNode2 and TextNode3.  In the Diagram.View’s “SelectionList” contains the First Node is TextNode2. Then the others nodes aligned based on the TextNode2’s position.  

 

2.      BoundingRectangle. – it is used to align the nodes based on the total bounds area of the selected nodes.  

 

Please refer to the below code example and attached video.  

 

Code example: 

 

[C#] 

 

//Set whether the align the nodes based on the Selected node or selected Bounds area. 

diagram1.Model.AlignmentType = AlignmentType.SelectedNode;

I don't have problems with rectangle, or lines, I have problems with textnode.

[Blanca Calderon]

I'm thinking is because of the textnode size or alignment of the text or something similar, i don't know why.

[Blanca Calderon]

And I don't have problem when I append a textnode, example:

 Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.TextNode rect2 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.TextNode("pruebapuuuu"); //.Rectangle(100, 50, 100, 50);          diagram1.Model.AppendChild(rect2);

I have problems when I use texttool.

Hi Blanca, 

 

We have created and verified a sample by drawing a TextNode using TextTool. But still we are unable to reproduce the reported issue at our end. please refer to the below attached sample.  

 

Sample: 

 

Sample  

 

Please confirm us whether you have done any customization on the Diagram’s TextNode/TextTool class to draw the TextNode? if so, please share your customized code example for creating the TextNode using TextTool, which will help us to analyze further and provide a better solution.

The problem is when you align right and the linestyle color is transparent. Obviously the alignment is correct but, if you don't see the line it's weird. In my case the line in a textbox is always transparent.

Hi Blanca, 

 

In Diagram control, the alignment of node is based on the size of the diagram’s nodes not based on the given text size. So, we suggest you to modify the textnode’s size manually based on the given text to achieve your requirement. please refer to the below modified sample and code example in order to change the textnode’s size automatically based on the given text. 

 

Code example: 

 

[C#] 

 

private void AutoNodeSizeChange(TextEditor textEditor) 

{ 

if (diagram1.View.SelectionList.Count == 1 && diagram1.View.SelectionList[0] is TextNode) 

{ 

using (Graphics graphics = diagram1.CreateGraphics()) 

{ 

string currentTxt = textEditor.Text;                    

SizeF stringSize = new SizeF(); 

TextNode txtnode = diagram1.View.SelectionList[0] as TextNode; 

stringSize = graphics.MeasureString(currentTxt, new Font(txtnode.FontStyle.Family, txtnode.FontStyle.Size)); 

txtnode.Size = stringSize; 

txtnode.PinPointOffset = new SizeF(stringSize.Width / 2, stringSize.Height / 2); 

} 

} 

}
