  y.layout.SliderEdgeLabelModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

EdgeLabelModel

public class SliderEdgeLabelModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements EdgeLabelModel

SliderEdgeLabelModel allows placement of labels at a set of continuous positions along both sides of an edge or directly on the edge path.

The set of positions can be influenced by specifying the density value which controls the spacing between adjacent label positions.

Furthermore, it's possible to specify distance values that control the distance between label and edge and between label and nodes.

CENTER_SLIDER mode on the left and SIDE_SLIDER mode on the right
