Custom Mechanism	9

This document will introduce custom mechanism in G6, including custom node, custom edge, custom behavior, custom layout. All of them are mounted on global G6, called by G6.registerXXX.

G6.registerNode(nodeName, options, extendedNodeName)

When the built-in nodes cannot satisfy your requirments, custom a type of node by G6.registerNode(nodeName, options, extendedNodeName).

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
nodeName	String	true	The unique name of the custom node.
options	Object	true	The configurations of custom node, include functions of complete life cycles. Please refer to Shape Doc and Custom Item API.
extendedNodeName	String	false	Specifies the inherited node type of the custom node. Declare this property if you want to extend a built-in node. Built-in Nodes document.

Usage

  'nodeName',
  {
    /**
     * Draw this type of node with label
     * @param  {Object} cfg The configurations of this type of node
     * @param  {G.Group} group Graphics group, the container of the shapes of the node
