Imported XLS - Properties Mapper - Fit to node - Doesn't work

Question

I imported a XLS file with some Parent - Child connections... Something like this:

Parent1	Child1	ab	a
Parent1	Child2	a	b
Parent2	Child1	b	ab
Parent2	Child3	0	0
Parent3	Child2	ab	a
Parent3	Child4	a	b
Parent4	Child4	b	ab
Parent4	Child5	0	0

 

Now I want to use the Properties Mapper to Auto-Color the Boxes (successful) and to Label them as well (Label yes, but...)

The Label is places in the Node as I want it. But the "Fit Note to Label" Checkbox doesn't work at all. I've tested this many times, so I'm kind of confused. Could here anyone please help me?

Answer 1

Properties Mapper's "Fit Node to Label" originally only worked for "Internal" label placement. As of yEd 3.9.2, this "Fit Node to Label" also works with "SmartFree" and "Free" label placements.

Answer 2

You're right, the checkbox doesn't work for me neither. Thanks for pointing out that issue, we'll fix it in one of the next releases.

Fortunately, the 'Fit Node to Label' feature is available in the tools menu as well. After using the properties mapper, simply run it manually.
