Shapes, connectors and text can easily be linked.
Once two items are linked, moving/resizing one means moving/resizing the other accordingly.
Write text inside a shape to link both:
Write text next to a connector to link both:
Draw a connector between two shapes to link them:
Draw two connectors close to each other to link them:
Label a connector to link both:
As shown in the below figure:
When text is written inside a shape, the connector is linked to the shape, and not to the text.
When there is no shape, the connector is linked to the text.
When two elements are linked by a connector, it is called a “node”.
A node can either be a shape, some text or even free drawing.
When the user places a unique and centered piece of text inside a shape, it is called a “cell label”.
If text is placed near a connector, it is called a “label”.
