The general node can automatically compute
the size of its shape according to the size of the labels and the
icon.
You can control autoresizing in the vertical and horizontal
directions independently through the properties
horizontalAutoResizeMode
and
verticalAutoResizeMode
. These properties accept the following values:
|
NO_AUTO_RESIZE
|
Autoresize is disabled.
|
|
EXPAND_ONLY
|
The node is allowed to grow in the
specified direction, but not to shrink.
|
|
SHRINK_ONLY
|
The node is allowed to shrink in the
specified direction, but not to grow.
|
|
EXPAND_OR_SHRINK
|
The node is allowed to expand or to
shrink as needed.
|
If horizontal autoresizing and word wrapping
are used at the same time, the general node cannot use the size of
the label to compute the shape’s width because word wrapping uses
the shape’s width to cut lines. In this case, the label will be
word wrapped such that its bounding box is approximately square.
You can control how much space will be left between the border of
the shape and its contents (label and icon) using the properties
horizontalAutoResizeMargin
and
verticalAutoResizeMargin
.
