Is it possible to customize the shape of nodes in the "shape nodes" palette?

0 votes

The Shape Nodes palette has shapes like trapezoidal, parallellogram, triangle, etc.

It is a tempting to customize their appearance:

  • Change the aspect ratio of a triangle (= Height / Base)
  • Tilt the traingle
  • Change the angle of the parallellogram/trapezoid
  • Change the angular sides of the octagon.
  • etc

See the sample customizations given below (created in LibreOffice) 

Can this be possible in yEd Editor?

Although it is not possible to customize the templates in the "Shape Nodes" palette section, it is possible to create user-defined palette sections and import your own shapes into such a user-defined section. Please see How can I use my own node symbols in yEd? for details.

No I wanted to create a node that can be adjusted "live" on the canvas. If we import a shape that is created externally, we will end up creating a large number of variants of the same basic shape.
