CustomOverlayOptions
Options for a custom overlay. You need to supply the
create method, which is passed the current connection as an argument, and return a DOM element.| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| attributes? | Record<string,string> | Optional custom attributes to write to the overlay's element. |
| cssClass? | string | Optional CSS class(es) to add to the overlay's element. |
| direction? | number | 1 to point forwards (the default), -1 to point backwards. Only taken into consideration in some overlay types. |
| events? | Record<OverlayEvents,(value:any, event:any) => any> | Optional event handlers to attach to the overlay. |
| id? | string | Optional ID for the overlay. Can be used to retrieve the overlay from a connection. |
| location? | number | Defaults to 0.5. See docs. |
| rotatable? | boolean | "strict" | "legible" | Sets whether the overlay can be rotated to match the gradient of the connector at that location at which it is positioned. If you supply boolean true here, the overlay will be made rotatable in "legible" mode, in which VisuallyJs ensures that the overlay is always mostly 'upright, by avoiding rotating it so that it is upside down or other awkward to read. You can set "strict" mode, which will rotate the overlay to the appropriate angle regardless of whether or not it will make any text on it difficult to read. |
| visibility? | OverlayVisibility | Whether the overlay is always visible, or only on hover. Defaults to OVERLAY_VISIBILITY_ALWAYS. |
