CreateShape Method

In This Topic

Create and initialize a GoShape.

Syntax

protected virtual GoShape CreateShape( 
   GoPort p
)

Parameters

p: the GoPort created for this node by CreatePort

Return Value

By default this returns a GoEllipse that is somewhat larger than the port .

Remarks

By default the ellipse uses a white brush--set the Pen and Brush properties to change the appearance. The shape is not itself selectable, resizable, or reshapable.

Example

If you override this method, you may want the definition to do some of the things that the standard definition does:

protected virtual GoShape CreateShape(GoPort p) {
  // create the bigger circle/ellipse around and behind the port
  GoShape e = new GoEllipse();
  SizeF psize = p.Size;
  e.Size = new SizeF(psize.Width + 2*7, psize.Height + 2*7);
  e.Selectable = false;
  e.Resizable = false;
  e.Reshapable = false;
  e.Brush = GoShape.Brushes_White;
  return e;
}
