Hierarchy

  • Tool
    • LinkLabelDraggingTool

The LinkLabelDraggingTool class lets the user move a label on a go.Link.

This tool only works when the Link has a label that is positioned at the go.Link.midPoint plus some offset. It does not work for labels that have a particular go.GraphObject.segmentIndex.

If you want to experiment with this extension, try the Link Label Dragging sample.

Methods

  • This tool can only start if the mouse has moved enough so that it is not a click, and if the mouse down point is on a GraphObject "label" in a Link Panel, as determined by findLabel.

    Returns boolean

  • Start a transaction, call findLabel and remember it as the "label" property, and remember the original value for the label's go.GraphObject.segmentOffset property.

    Returns void

  • Stop any ongoing transaction.

    Returns void

  • At the end of the drag, update the segment offset of the label and finish the tool, completing a transaction.

    Returns void

  • Clear any reference to a label element.

    Returns void

  • From the GraphObject at the mouse point, search up the visual tree until we get to an object that is a label of a Link.

    Returns GraphObject

    This returns null if no such label is at the mouse down point.

  • Save the label's go.GraphObject.segmentOffset as a rotated offset from the midpoint of the Link that the label is in.

    Returns void
