Interface LabelSizeCalculator

All Known Implementing Classes:

NodeStyleLabelStyleAdapter, SimpleLabelStyle

public interface LabelSizeCalculator

Implementors of this interface calculate the size of a Label.

The labels with no preferred size are queried by StyledLayoutGraph.setStyle(y.base.Node, com.yworks.yfiles.server.graphml.flexio.data.INodeStyle) or StyledLayoutGraph.setStyle(y.base.Node, com.yworks.yfiles.server.graphml.flexio.data.INodeStyle) for a style which implements this interface.

Note that the size on the client still may differ from the calculated size.

Method Summary

boolean	canCalculateSize(Label l) Whether the size of the given label can be calculated.
YDimension	getCalculatedSize(Label l) Calculates the size of a given label.
