To initiate creation of a label of a defined style
|
Choose a label style to provide the initial properties of the label,
then use that style to create a label on the LanFlow diagram.
Locate the “Labels” section of the style bar.
|
Perform one of the following:
|
After selecting the label style, you can use the property bar to change
properties of the label that will be created such as the color, font,
text size, and justification. These changes will not affect the style
definition, only the properties of the new labels.
|
To initiate creation of a label without a defined style
|
There is no requirement that you go through the steps described above
(choosing a label style) just to create a simple text label. If you
don't care to use a defined style for the label, just click on the
text mode button. Clicking the text mode button places you in text
mode without selecting any particular label style. The font properties
and text color will reflect the last properties you used in text mode.
|
Once you have entered text mode
|
Now that you are in text mode, the text mode button will appear depressed
and the cursor will appear as a caret. In text mode you can use the
property bar to change properties of the label that will be created
such as the color, font, text size, and justification. If you started
by selecting a label style, any such change will cancel the label style.

To create a label
|
After you create a label, you may want to rotate it so the text is
vertical rather than horizontal.
