The Node Style dialog lets you customize the display of one or more nodes in a diagram. You can display or hide incoming and outgoing arrows, the text label, border, fill color, and bevel, and change the typeface and font size. These options override any defaults set for in the Diagram Style dialog.
To open the Node Style dialog:
- Select one or more nodes in a diagram.
- Choose Set Node Style from the Diagram menu or the right-click menu.
- Select the options for which you want to override the default styles.
- Click OK.
Input arrows: Check to display arrows into this node.
Output arrows: Check to display arrows out of this node. By default, input and output arrows are not displayed for index and function nodes.
Label: Check to display the title in the node. By default, this is checked for all nodes.
Border: Check to display a thin black border around the node.
Fill color: Check to display the color in the node. Otherwise the node appears transparent, and any nodes or arrows under it are visible.
Bevel: Check to show a bevel effect around the node. By default, this is checked only for button nodes. By default, text nodes, input and output nodes do not show arrows, border or fill color.
