Description Trey Spiva 2007-11-05 16:45:54 UTC

The default layout manager for connection widgets does not take into account the direction of the edge.  So, in order to make the label look correct you have 
to calculate the direction of the edge, and then determine the correct constraint.  This would work for when you create the edge, however it will not work for 
when the nodes move and the direction of the edge changes.

It would be nice to have a layout manager that would layout the edge to mean the following Top is above the edge if the edge is horizontal, and to the right 
of the edge if the edge is vertical, and bottom is below the edge if the edge is horizontal and to the left of the edge if the edge is vertical.

The Layout would just have count with "ConnectionWidget.getControlPoints()" or "Anchor.compute().getDirections()" which
resolving Widget locations.

This should have been fixed by the issue 128348.
