The link text styles available are close to what we really need, but it would be really great if there could be an option to have something similar to Center, but not allow it to choose a control point.

Thanks for a great product!

Hi,

If there are an even number of segments, which of the two segments at the center you'd like to use - the longer one, or the one with smaller slope?

The longest one would be better in my case, but 
either way would suffice for my purposes as long as the text fits between the control points.

We have added LinkTextStyle.MiddleSegment to do that:

I hope that helps,

Thank you so much,

I feel terrible but I think I made a mistake, I thought our program was using LinkTextStyle.Center, but actually it was overriding it later with LinkTextStyle.Rotate.

The "MiddleSegment" code does do what I asked, but what we really need is to also follow the angle of the segment the way the rotate textstyle does, otherwise the text writes overtop of some segments and is not legible.

Do you think it would be possible to change MiddleSegment before the  release?

I can provide screenshots to show what I mean as well if you have an email address to send them to.

Sorry, I didn't mean to waste anyones time...  I really appreciate your support.

Yes, this is exactly what we need.  Thank you so much, you guys really put the other software companies we deal with to shame.

Sorry again for my mistake.
