Style Association

In this section, you will learn how to associate or apply a Style to an element.

Example 5.9. Applying a user-defined style

// load style descriptor from pool
StyleDescriptor styleAppNode =
    StylePool.get("AppLabelStyleDescriptor");
// apply the appropriate style to the VisualNode
visualNodeA.getBaseComposite().applyStyle(styleAppNode);

Applying a style to a visual element is similar to applying a geometry. The BaseComposite member of any VisualGraphObject is used to apply it via a method call to applyStyle().
