To manually edit graphical properties and attribute values associated with all currently selected nodes, you can use the node properties dialog. It is assessed either by right-clicking a selected node and choosing properties... (see node context menu), or via the properties... entry in the nodes menu.
adjustments
The node properties dialog has three tabs:
graphical properties
general
changes the graphical appearance of the node, namely
- shape - rectangle (square, resp.), ellipse (circle, resp.) and others
- color - none, a prespecified or any other
- transparency
- border style - one of various sizes and line types
- border color
- x-coordinate
- y-coordinate
- width of selected shape
- height of selected shape
label
changes the graphical appearance of the node label, namely
- label visibility
- label font color
- label font type
- label font size
- label background color
- label border color
- label rotation angle - zero for horizontal presentation
- label model - invoking potential label positions
- label position - according to selected label model
attributes
Can be used to change any not entirely graphical attribute, including the label text. Alternatively, you may want to use the more powerful attribute manager.
adaptation
To save any adjustments, use the apply button. Otherwise, close the dialog to discard all modifications, or reset to discard all modifications without closing the dialog. Finally, you may wish to create a template of current adjustments.
