Enabling node label visibility from a plugin?

[phreakocious]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for ensuring that node labels are visible in the UI from a plugin? I set the LabelVisible parameter to true for the nodes, but that only affects which are visible when toggled in the UI.

Thanks!

Hi,
You will need to include Visualization Module as a dependency in your module.
Then use some code like this:

Code: Select all

VizController.getInstance().getTextManager().getModel().setShowNodeLabels(true);

Wow.. I was soooo close. Should I use Lookup to get the instance of VizController, or is that raw version enough?

Thanks a bunch for the quick reply.

Well the method itself uses Lookup and inits some objects.
You probably can get it with Lookup because Gephi will have initialized it before.

Wow I would put +1000 if I could. This part of the API gives full control on so many stuff! Love it!
