Maybe I've missed this somewhere in all the documentation and the configuration page of the manual...

How does one make the angled BW labels as depicted in this map? http://www.network-weathermap.com/node/78

I want to be cool like Howie too!!

Thanks,

Brian

Got it.
The angled text is just about the coolest thing...

When you angle the text how do you "modify" the LABEL so it blends into the link itself?

I've done the 'BWOUTLINECOLOR none' to remove the outline, but can't blend the background color on the label itself.

Thanks again!

That's the trick, but now I've got a feature request!

Would be helpful to be able to rotate the text another 180degrees. I can make the text flip by changing the order of the nodes specified in the LINK section but that means that in & out have to flip too.

(hint hint) BWSTYLE classic, angled, angled180

I have a Logical map similar to the walkthrough map you have with the VLANs where I'm using this feature.

Minor point, great feature.

THANKS HOWIE!!!

------------------------------

sample for others:
FONTDEFINE 21 /usr/include/Fonts/arial.ttf 7

LINK DEFAULT
BWLABEL bits
BWFONT 21
WIDTH 6
BANDWIDTH 1000M
BWSTYLE angled
BWOUTLINECOLOR none
BWBOXCOLOR none

(I turn on the outline and box color for specific links and set BWSTYLE to classic)
