Hi,

I have attached a screenshot which illustrates my issue.
The text to the upper left of the diamond - Exclusive Gateway - was placed there using the following code:

Factory factory = diagram.Factory;
                Shape gatewayShape;

                if (GatewayType == "Exclusive")
                    gatewayShape = Shapes.BpmnDataBasedXor;
                else if (GatewayType == "Parallel")
                    gatewayShape = Shapes.BpmnParallelFork;
                else
                    gatewayShape = Shapes.Decision;

                ShapeNode gatewayNode = factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 20, gatewayShape);
                gatewayNode.Tag = "Gateway;" + GatewayID + ";" + GatewayName + ";" + GatewayType + ";" + taskID.ToString() + ";" + Link_Image_ID + ";" + Link_Image_Placement_ID + ";" + Link_Image_Segment_ID + ";" + LinkText + ";" + GatewayDecisionText;
                gatewayNode.Id = "Gateway" + GatewayID;
                gatewayNode.ToolTip = GatewayDesc;
                gatewayNode.Font = new Font("Arial", 7, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
                gatewayNode.TextFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
                gatewayNode.TextFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
                if (GatewayType == "Decision")
                    gatewayNode.Text = GatewayDecisionText;
                else
                    gatewayNode.Text = GatewayName;
                gatewayNode.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane] = laneNumber;
                gatewayNode.LayoutTraits[SwimlaneLayoutTraits.SortOrder] = nodeNumber;
                nodeNumber++;
                gatewayNode.AnchorPattern = GatewayAnchors;
                float angle = 90;
                gatewayNode.Brush = new MindFusion.Drawing.LinearGradientBrush(Color.WhiteSmoke, Color.LightBlue, angle);

                // Now we'll place the gateway name to the upper left of the above shape

                ShapeNode label = factory.CreateShapeNode(0, 0, 20, 8, Shapes.Rectangle);
                label.Text = GatewayName;
                label.Font = new Font("Arial", 8, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular);
                label.TextFormat.Alignment = StringAlignment.Center;
                label.TextFormat.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
                label.IgnoreLayout = true; // Ensures that this shape remains with the parent shape
                label.Transparent = true; // Don't show the shape itself, just the image
                label.Pen = new Pen(Color.Black, 0F); // Don't show any border around the shape
                label.Move(gatewayNode.Bounds.Left - 13, gatewayNode.Bounds.Top - 2);
                label.AttachTo(gatewayNode, AttachToNode.TopLeft); 

I also have code that places text on the links - in this example Yes and No.  That works as well.

The issue is the text (and/or the shape) that is placed to the upper left of the diamond is being shown at the bottom of that shape as well.
I can see no where in my code where I could be doing this.

Any ideas?

I have also attached an xml export of the diagram.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I was not aware that the text would appear under BPMN shapes.
I'm now setting the text to "" for such shapes.

Thanks a lot.
