how to place node at specified coordinates

[MagicXtr]

Hi,

Is there any way to set the location of node by specifying its coordinates (in descktop version of the diagram)? If there is no such posibility I would like to suggest to add it

Thanks a lot,
Bork

Hi Bork,

To place the nodes at some co ordinate point, use the following code snippet:

**********
Rectangle node, for example:
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(0,0,100,150);

Set Coordinate location:
rect.PinPoint = new PointF(200,200);

**********

I am confident that this will resolve your query.

Happy Coding!

Note that the PinPointOffset is important as well. If it is set to 0,0 then

rect.PinPoint = new PointF(200,200);

Will set the upper left hand corner of your rect to 200,200.

Thanks a lot. I've found another method also: node.Translate(x, y);

Hi RAS,

The PinPointOffset is used to specify the "Centre of mass" for the selected Node, i.e. it defines the point keeping which constant, the rotate handle works.

Happy coding!
