[Openjgraph-development] Setting text displayed on a VisualEdge

[Patrick H. <pa...@13...>]

I am having a problem trying to override the default text assigned to a
VisualEdge object.  My code is roughly like the following:

public class MyClass extends VisualGraph {
    public boolean connectNodes (Vertex from, Vertex to) {
        try {
            Edge edge           = getGraph().addEdge(from, to);
            VisualEdge vis_edge = getVisualEdge(edge);

            vis_edge.setText("My label");
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            // Handle exception ...
        }
    }
}:

If I call vis_edge.getText(), it gives me a String containing "My label",
but in the visual graph, the label always displays the from -> to
relationship.  What am I doing wrong?
