Constructors
Creates a new instance of a FreeEdgeLabelModel with the default values.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- edgeRelativeAngle - boolean
A property that indicates whether the angle used by the parameter should be interpreted relative to the edge's orientation or as an absolute angle in the coordinate system. This option sets the edgeRelativeAngle property on the created object.
Properties
Gets or sets a property that indicates whether the angle used by the parameter should be interpreted relative to the edge's orientation or as an absolute angle in the coordinate system.
Remarks
Methods
Creates a default parameter that can be used for this model.
Creates a parameter for the given location.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- ratio - number
- The ratio at which the label will be anchored between the location of the source port and the location of the target port. The default is 0.5.
- distance - number
- The distance orthogonally to the connection between the source and target point. The default is 0.
- angle - number
- The angle by which the label should be rotated. The default is 0.
Returns
- ↪ILabelModelParameter
- A parameter that describes the position.

findBestParameter
(label: ILabel, model: ILabelModel, layout: IOrientedRectangle) : ILabelModelParameterTries to find a parameter that best matches the given layout for the provided label instance.
Remarks
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- label - ILabel
- The label to find a parameter for.
- model - ILabelModel
- The model instance to use. This should be this instance.
- layout - IOrientedRectangle
- The anticipated layout for the label.
Returns
- ↪ILabelModelParameter
- A non-
null
parameter that can be used for the label to approximate the provided layout.
Implements
Provides a lookup context for the given combination of label and parameter.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- label - ILabel
- The label to use in the context.
- layoutParameter - ILabelModelParameter
- The parameter to use for the label in the context.
Returns
- ↪ILookup
- An implementation of the ILookup interface that can be used to query additional aspects of the label/parameter combination.

Implements
Calculates the geometry of the given label using the given model parameter.
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- label - ILabel
- The label to calculate the geometry for.
- layoutParameter - ILabelModelParameter
- A parameter that is compatible with this model. Typically, this is a parameter that has been created by this model, and its property model returns this instance.
Returns
- ↪IOrientedRectangle
- An IOrientedRectangle that describes the geometry of the label. This is typically designed as a flyweight, therefore clients should not cache the instance but store the values if they need a snapshot for later use.
Implements
Returns an instance that implements the given type or null
.
Remarks
null
implementations for the types, nor does it have to return the same instance any time. Also it depends on the type and context whether the instance returned stays up to date or needs to be reobtained for subsequent use.Type Parameters
- T: any
Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- type - Class<T>
- The type for which an instance shall be returned.
Returns
- ↪T
- an instance that is assignable to type or
null

Constants
A shared unmodifiable public instance that can be used to obtain parameters.
