Anchors and Decorations
Add decorative elements to your architecture maps. Use icons, text labels, and spanning blocks anchored to nodes for richer visual communication.
Architecture maps communicate best when they combine structural nodes and edges with visual annotations. Anchors and decorations let you add icons, text labels, and spanning blocks that are positioned relative to a node, so they move with it when you rearrange the layout.
What Are Anchors
An anchor is a decorative element that is attached to a specific node. Its position is defined as a relative grid offset from the parent node. When the parent node moves, the anchor moves with it, keeping the map tidy without manual repositioning.
