Use the radio buttons below to change between different node label placement strategies.
The layout option de.cau.cs.kieler.nodeLabelPlacement
is a combination
of three components: the vertical alignment, the horizontal alignment,
and whether the label should be placed inside or outside of the node.
Not every combination makes sense though. A label placed on the outside cannot be
centered in both dimensions.
The layout algorithm computes a position for the top-left corner of the label,
relative to the top-left corner of the parent node.
This has to be considered whenever labels are positioned with a different reference point,
which is the default behavior of SVGs, for instance.
The rendering below should look fine in Chrome since the alignment-baseline: hanging;
attribute is interpreted correctly. In Firefox the labels seem to be positioned too high (currently).
Additionally note that the layout algorithm is not able to compute the dimensions of a label,
as it isn't aware of the used font size and font family.
