(JGraphX) How to add an extra label to a vertex?

Question

I have a vertex and it has its name, the label inside the vertex. But I also wan't to add a new label, with extra information, for the same vertex. Is there a way to do it?

Answer 1

If you need only a "static label" you could use a "stencil".

The Stencils.java example program has some multi-label shapes.

If however you want more control on the content you want to show in the label, I could not find any "official" documentation: you might want to look at the examples I've added to a related question.

Here are the direct links to the examples:

An example of a multi-value node in JGraphX using "child nodes"

Here I've created child nodes and "locked" them to a parent/container node, by setting relative coordinates.

An example of a multi-value node in JGraphX using "custom shape"

Here I've created a "custom shape" to access the Graphics2D awt object and be able to draw my shape and labels.
