Diagram Info box- Turning on/off, moving using API

[stephen.r.foster@jpmorgan.com]

I'm using the API to generate a diagram, but having issues with accessing the Diagram Info box.

The Diagram Info box is added to the diagram by default when I first create the diagram, but as I add shapes, the diagram gets bigger and the Diagram Info box ends up not in the right place.

I want to put the Diagram Info box back in the top right corner - either by moving to a specified location (preferred) or by turning it off then back on again.

Can anyone provide a solution?

Thanks

I am having the same problem and need a practical solution

I usually use layout function to make sure Diagram Info box ends up in the acceptable position, for example:

Code: Select all

Diagram diagram = ...;
DiagramPresentationElement diagramSymbol = project.getDiagram(diagram);
..............
diagramSymbol.open();
diagramSymbol.layout(false);


Alternatively, if you feel like moving the info box manually, do it this way:

Code: Select all

DiagramPresentationElement diagram = ...;

java.awt.Rectangle rect;      // this is the diagram frame's bound rectangle
DiagramPropertiesShape view;  // this is the diagram info box
for(PresentationElement e : diagram.getPresentationElements()) { 
    if (e instanceof DiagramFrameView){
        print(e.getBounds().getHeight()); 
        rect = e.getBounds();
    } 
   
    if (e instanceof DiagramPropertiesShape){
        view = e;     
    }
}     

// move the info box
PresentationElementsManager.getInstance().movePresentationElement(view, new java.awt.Point((Integer)rect.getWidth() -100, 10));


Hope it helps!
