Note that this padding is only considered if TextWrapping is not NONE.

The default value is 0.

The shape is fitted inside the label layout and text is wrapped to stay inside the shape. If a padding is set, this padding is kept between the shape and the text.

Also padding determine areas that should not be rendered into. The padding has an influence on the size and positioning of the shape, whereas the insets are overlaid.

Note: For wrapping shapes other than RECTANGLE it is recommended to adjust the style's padding and textWrappingPadding, too. Also, the preferredSize needs to be set to a suitable value to get the desired effect or a respective ILabelModel needs to be used that provides a suitable label layout.

If the value is set to RECTANGLE or TextWrapping is set to NONE, the preferred size calculation will take into account the extra space that is required by a label shape of PILL to completely render the text contents within the outline of the shape. In the case of ROUND_RECTANGLE suitable constant padding value can be configure to prevent the text from intersecting with the rounded corners.

For the cases where the value is set to other values, the calculation of the preferred size will be unaffected by the shape. This will typically lead to preferred sizes that cannot ensure that the text content is rendered within the outline. Since these values are typically used for rendering larger amounts of text that needs to wrap within a shape, a preferred size is either not required or not feasible to determine unambiguously. So developers need to either come up with and manually set an adjusted preferred size that suits the users or let the users determine the size of the label rendering, interactively. The latter can be done by letting the user interactively change the preferred size or by using a label model that does not even consider the preferred size, like the StretchNodeLabelModel with CENTER parameter which derives the size of the label from the size of the owning node.

For the majority of use-cases where label texts are only a few lines or likely a single line of text or even word, you probably want to be using the RECTANGLE which has good support for accurate preferred size calculations that lead to compact labels even with the non-rectangular label background shapes. More sophisticated label wrapping shapes are mostly meant to be used without a label background and shape but are rendered on top of another node or graph element that has its own corresponding shape and where the label is stretched across the element.

Note that values other than RECTANGLE are only considered if TextWrapping is not NONE.

The default value is RECTANGLE.
