Diamond

A built-in node Diamond has the default style as below, the label is drawed on the center of it.

Usage

As stated in Built-in Nodes , there are three methods to configure nodes: Configure nodes globally when instantiating a Graph; Configure nodes in their data; Configure nodes by graph.node(nodeFn). Their priorities are:

graph.node(nodeFn) > Configure in data > Configure globally

⚠️ Attention: Expect for id, and label which should be assigned to every single node data, the other configurations in The Common Property and in each node type (refer to doc of each node type) support to be assigned by the three ways.

1 Global Configure When Instantiating a Graph

Assign type to 'diamond' in the defaultNode object when instantiating a Graph:

const graph = new G6.Graph({
  container: 'mountNode',
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  defaultNode: {
    type: 'diamond', // The type of the node
    // ... Other configuraltions
  },
});

2 Configure in the Data

To configure different nodes with different properties, you can write the properties into the node data.

const data = {
  nodes: [
  {
	  id: 'node0',
    type: 'diamond', // The tyep of the node
    //... // Other configurations
  },
    ... // Other nodes
  ],
  edges: [
    ... // edges
  ]
}

Property

The Node Common Properties are available for Diamond node, some special properties are shown below. The property with Object type will be described after the table:

Name	Description	Type	Remark
size	The width and the height of the diamond	Number / Array	When it is a number, the width and the height are the same
style	The default style of diamond node	Object	Correspond to the styles in Canvas
label	The text of the label	String
labelCfg	The configurations of the label	Object
stateStyles	The styles in different states	Object	Refer to Configure Styles for State
linkPoints	The link points in visual	Object	They are invisible by default. It is usually used with the anchorPoints. The differences are described in linkPoints
icon	The configurations of the icon on the diamond node	Object	It is invisible by default

style

The Node Common Styles are available for Circle node.style is an object to configure the filling color, stroke, and other styles. The following code shows how to configure the style globally when instantiating a Graph.

const data = {
  nodes: [
    {
      x: 100,
      y: 100,
      type: 'diamond',
      label: 'diamond',
    },
  ],
};
const graph = new G6.Graph({
  container: 'mountNode',
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  defaultNode: {
    // type'diamond', // The type has been assigned in the data, we do not have to define it any more
    size: [200, 80],
    style: {
      fill: '#bae637',
      stroke: '#eaff8f',
      lineWidth: 5,
    },
  },
});
graph.data(data);
graph.render();

labelCfg

labelCfg is an object to configure the label of the node. The Node Common Label Configurations are available. Base on the code in style section, we add labelCfg to defaultNode.。

const data = {
  // ... data
};
const graph = new G6.Graph({
  // ... Other configurations for graph
  defaultNode: {
    // ... Other properties for node
    labelCfg: {
      style: {
        fill: '#9254de',
        fontSize: 18,
      },
      position: 'bottom',
    },
  },
});
// ...

linkPoints

linkPoints is an object to configure the small circles on the 「top, bottom, left, and right」.

⚠️Attention: It is different from anchorPoints: anchorPoints is an 「array」 that indicates the actual relative positions used to specify the join position of the relevant edge of the node (refer to anchorPoints); linkPoints is an object that indicates whether 「render」the four small circles, which do not connect the relevant edges. These two properties are often used together.

Name	Description	Type	Remark
top	Whether to show the top small circle	Boolean	false by default
bottom	Whether to show the bototm small circle	Boolean	false by default
left	Whether to show the left small circle	Boolean	false by default
right	Whether to show the right small circle	Boolean	false by default
size	The size of the small circles	Number	3 by default
fill	The filling color of the small circles	String	'#72CC4A' by default
stroke	The stroke color of the small circles	String	'#72CC4A' by default
lineWidth	The line width of the small circles	Number	1 by default

Base on the code in style section, we add linkPoints to defaultNode.

const data = {
  // ... data
};
const graph = new G6.Graph({
  // ... Other configurations for graph
  defaultNode: {
    // ... Other configurations for nodes
    linkPoints: {
      top: true,
      bottom: true,
      left: true,
      right: true,
      size: 5,
      fill: '#fff',
    },
  },
});
// ...

icon

icon is an object to configure the icon on the node.

Name	Description	Type	Remark
show	Whether to show the icon	Boolean	false by default
width	The width of the icon	Number	16 by default
height	The height of the icon	Number	16 by default
img	The image url or base64 of the icon	String	Configuring it means the icon is an image
text	iconfont for the icon	String	Configuring it means the icon is an iconfont

Base on the code in style section, we add icon to defaultNode.

const data = {
  // ... data
};
const graph = new G6.Graph({
  // ... Other configurations for the graph
  defaultNode: {
    // ... Other configurations for nodes
    icon: {
      show: true,
      width: 25,
      height: 25,
      // img: '...', The image url of the icon
      // text: '...', Use an iconfont for the icon
    },
  },
});
// ...
