EJ2 - Description on Symbols

Question

Hi, this seems like a newbie question, but how do you set the description on a symbol.

The samples in the documentation have a comment, but no actual declaration/code and the documentation seems to refer to the a SymbolDescription type object, but these don't seem to work.

So....a quick sample or some working code would be great.

Hi James, 

To display text to shapes in symbol palette, please use the description property in the getSymbolInfo function as shown in the below code example. 
 
Code example: 




var palette = new ej.diagrams.SymbolPalette({ 
    getSymbolInfo: function (symbol) { 
           // display text for palette item 
             return { description: { text: symbol.id }, fit: true }; 
 
        } 
    }); 
 palette.appendTo('#symbolpalette');
