public class IlvGeneralNode
extends IlvGraphicSet
implements IlvLabelInterface, ilog.views.sdm.internal.labellayout.IlvSDMLabeledNode
```
The class IlvGeneralNode is a general-purpose graphic object with a geometric shape (square, circle, diamond, or similar), a label, and an icon, each being optional.
The label can be zoomable and can become invisible below a given zoom level to avoid overloaded displays. Labels can contain several lines (separated by '\n' characters). The general node supports automatic word wrapping or truncation of the label.
The shape and the icon can be defined as SVG files.
Note: In JViews 6.0, performance and graphic improvements have been made to this class that may introduce slight changes in bounding boxes. See setUseIlvText(boolean) for more details.

Since:

JViews 4.0

  - getMaxLabelZoom
```
public double getMaxLabelZoom()
```
    Returns the zoom level above which the label becomes invisible.
  - setLabelZoomable
```
public void setLabelZoomable(boolean zoomable)
```
    Specifies whether the label should be zoomable. Note that this method changes the result of the zoomable() method, so it may not be called after the general node has been added to a manager.
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    
    Parameters:
    
    zoomable - If true, the label of the node is an instance of IlvZoomableLabel. Otherwise it is an instance of IlvLabel.
  - isLabelZoomable
```
public boolean isLabelZoomable()
```
    Returns the flag specifying whether the label should be zoomable.
  - setUseIlvText
```
public void setUseIlvText(boolean useIlvText)
```
    Specifies whether the label of the general node will be an IlvText or an IlvZoomableLabel.
    IlvText is a new text object, available since JViews 6.0, that provides better performances and more accurate alignment and bounding box calculations.
    Visually, the main difference from an IlvZoomableLabel is that, for a given font, the height of the label (and the spacing if there are several lines) is the same regardless of the actual string displayed. For example, the string "aaa" will have the same height as "XXX" or "ggg", whereas with an IlvZoomableLabel "aaa" was smaller than "XXX". As a result, baselines of labels are always at the same relative positions with an IlvText, which looks better, but the drawback is that the bounding box is slightly bigger.
    By default, because of the significant performance and graphic improvements that it brings, and despite the small bounding box changes that it may cause, this property is set to true and the label is an IlvText.
    If the bounding box changes are a problem for your application, you can easily switch this new feature off in one of three ways:
    1. Set the system property ILVGENERALNODE_USE_ILVTEXT to false on the command line of the Java virtual machine.
    2. Call the static method setUseIlvTextDefault(false) at application startup.
    3. Modify your style sheet(s) and set the useIlvText property to false for all IlvGeneralNode objects.
    Note that if setLabelZoomable(false) was called, the label will be an IlvLabel regardless of this property.
    If an IlvText is used, wordwrapping is performed according to the current Locale's rules, and the characters specified by setWordWrapChars(java.lang.String) are ignored.
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    Parameters:
    
    useIlvText - If true, the label of this general node will be an IlvText, otherwise it will be an IlvZoomableLabel.
    
    Since:
    
    JViews 6.0
  - isUseIlvText
```
public boolean isUseIlvText()
```
    Returns the flag specifying whether the label of this general node is an IlvText or an IlvZoomableLabel.
    
    Since:
    
    JViews 6.0
    
    See Also:
    
    setUseIlvText(boolean)
  - setUseIlvTextDefault
```
public static void setUseIlvTextDefault(boolean useIlvText)
```
    Changes the default value of the "use IlvText" flag.
    This static method can be used to change an application quickly so that all general nodes use (or do not use) IlvText objects.
    The default value can also be changed by setting the system property ILVGENERALNODE_USE_ILVTEXT to true or false.
    
    Parameters:
    
    useIlvText - If true, all IlvGeneralNode objects will use an IlvText by default, otherwise all IlvGeneralNode objects will use an IlvZoomableLabel by default.

  - setShapeWidth
```
public void setShapeWidth(double width)
```
    Changes the width of the shape. The shape is scaled so that its width matches the specified size. If isKeepingAspectRatio() returns true, the height of the shape is also modified to keep the current aspect ratio. The center of the shape is always left unchanged.
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    
    Parameters:
    
    width - The new width.
  - getShapeWidth
```
public double getShapeWidth()
```
    Returns the width of the shape.
  - setShapeHeight
```
public void setShapeHeight(double height)
```
    Changes the height of the shape. The shape is scaled so that its height matches the specified size. If isKeepingAspectRatio() returns true, the width of the shape is also modified to keep the current aspect ratio. The center of the shape is always left unchanged.
    Note that calling this method sets the "keep aspect ratio" flag to false.
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    
    Parameters:
    
    height - The new height.
    
    See Also:
    
    setKeepingAspectRatio(boolean)
  - getShapeHeight
```
public double getShapeHeight()
```
    Returns the height of the shape.
  - setKeepingAspectRatio
```
public void setKeepingAspectRatio(boolean keeping)
```
    Sets the flag that specifies whether the width/height ratio is preserved by the methods setShapeWidth(double) and setShapeHeight(double). If the flag is true, the dimensions of the shape are controlled by calling either setShapeWidth(double) or setShapeHeight(double), and by calling setShapeAspectRatio(double). If the flag is false, the dimensions of the shape are controlled by calling setShapeWidth(double) and setShapeHeight(double).
    Note that calling setShapeHeight(double) automatically sets the "keep aspect ratio" flag to false, and that calling setShapeAspectRatio(double) automatically sets the flag to true.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keeping - If true, the methods setShapeWidth(double) and setShapeHeight(double) will preserve the width/height ratio of the node shape. Otherwise, the width and the height can be set independently.
  - isKeepingAspectRatio
```
public boolean isKeepingAspectRatio()
```
    Sets the flag that specifies whether the width/height ratio is preserved by the methods setShapeWidth(double) and setShapeHeight(double).
    
    See Also:
    
    setKeepingAspectRatio(boolean)
  - setShapeAspectRatio
```
public void setShapeAspectRatio(double aspectRatio)
```
    Changes the aspect ratio of the shape. The shape is scaled vertically so that the width/height ratio is equal to the specified value. The center of the shape is left unchanged.
    Note that calling this method sets the "keep aspect ratio" flag to true.
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    
    Parameters:
    
    aspectRatio - The new aspect ratio.
    
    See Also:
    
    setKeepingAspectRatio(boolean)
  - getShapeAspectRatio
```
public double getShapeAspectRatio()
```
    Returns the aspect ratio of the shape.
  - setAnchor
```
public void setAnchor(int position)
```
    Sets the anchor position of the node, that is, the point that will be left unchanged by the setShapeWidth(double), setShapeHeight(double), and setShapeAspectRatio(double) methods.
    
    Parameters:
    
    position - One of IlvDirection.Center, IlvDirection.Top, IlvDirection.Bottom, IlvDirection.Left, IlvDirection.Right, IlvDirection.TopLeft, IlvDirection.TopRight, IlvDirection.BottomLeft, or IlvDirection.BottomRight.
  - getAnchor
```
public int getAnchor()
```
    Returns the anchor position of the node, that is, the point that is left unchanged by the setShapeWidth(double), setShapeHeight(double), and setShapeAspectRatio(double) methods.
    
    Returns:
    
    One of IlvDirection.Center, IlvDirection.Top, IlvDirection.Bottom, IlvDirection.Left, IlvDirection.Right, IlvDirection.TopLeft, IlvDirection.TopRight, IlvDirection.BottomLeft, or IlvDirection.BottomRight.
  - setLabelMode
```
public void setLabelMode(int mode)
```
    Sets the label mode of this general node. There are three possible values for the mode parameter:
    - LABEL_UNCHANGED: In this mode, the label is not modified. The string set using setLabel(java.lang.String) is displayed as is.
    - WORD_WRAP: In this mode, the label is automatically "cut" into multiple lines (by inserting '\n' characters) so that each line fits in the width of the shape. Word wrapping will occur only at space or punctuation characters between words of the label. More precisely, the set of characters at which word wrapping may occur is defined by the method setWordWrapChars(java.lang.String).
    - TRUNCATE: In this mode, the label is truncated so that it fits, as a single line, in the width of the shape. The string "..." is appended to indicate that the label has been truncated. This string can be changed using the method setTruncatedLabelSuffix(java.lang.String).
    Note that this may change the bounding rectangle of the node. For this reason, if the node is contained inside a manager, you should modify the node using the applyToObject method of the manager.
    Parameters:
    
    mode - One of the constants LABEL_UNCHANGED, WORD_WRAP, or TRUNCATE.

public void setLabelMargin(double margin)
```
    Sets the margin that will be kept between the labels and the edges of the shape when performing word wrapping or label truncation. Note that this property has an effect only if the horizontal auto-resize mode is NO_AUTO_RESIZE. If auto-resize is enabled, the margin between the label and the shape is defined by setHorizontalAutoResizeMargin(double) instead.

  - setWordWrapChars
```
public void setWordWrapChars(String chars)
```
    Specifies which characters allow wordwrapping when the label is implemented using IlvZoomableLabel objects. If the label uses an IlvText, wordwrapping is done according to the current Locale's rules.
