NodeShape::AutoLayoutChildShapes Method (IDictionary^)
Visual Studio 2015
Positions the collection of shapes in the diagram automatically.
Assembly: Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.12.0 (in Microsoft.VisualStudio.Modeling.Sdk.Diagrams.12.0.dll)
Parameters
- shapeElementMap
-
Type:
System.Collections::IDictionary^
The collection of shapes to automatically position.
If the collection contains shapes with relative geometry (for example, pasting two shapes A and B, where component shape B is to the above-and-right of component shape A), we will maintain their relative geometry, and position them in an area that can accommodate their geometry. This area may be off-screen. If pasting inside a compound shape, that compound shape will grow as needed to fit the new children. (This scenario will generally happen for copy/paste.)
