Changing Existing Branch Settings

To change the settings for the selected branches, you can use all the shape format settings on the Format tab of the ribbon bar.

To change the shape of the selected branches to the desired shape, click on the Shape command in the Branch Command Group. This will cycle through the branch shapes, or you can choose a specific shape by using the pull down menu from the Shape command. You can also change the branch shape from the context menu.

Branch Images

To set an image on the branch, you can use the Shape Fill command on the Style command group of the Format tab, and choose the image option. This will allow you to select an image file from your computer. You can drag an image onto the branch from the graphics library or another program such as the File Explorer or Internet Explorer or FireFox.

You can set whether the text on the branch appears above, below, or centered vertically in relation to the image by using the Style Dialog Box Launcher to show the Format Shape panel, and the setting is under the Text settings.

Other settings

In the Format Shape dialog box, you can also set things like the line weight, dashes, and  the line style of the connection between this branch and its parent. The connection setting is only applicable where the branch is a second level branch or below.

If you have inserted a boundary, you can use the format settings to set a style for the boundary or use the fill and line settings for the boundary. In order to do this, click on the line of the boundary to select it, and then make the changes. In the Format Shape dialog box in the shape section, you can set the boundary margin (the space between the branch and the boundary).

If you want to constrain the text width on the branch, you can turn on the Constrain setting, and set the width - the text on the branch will be automatically wrapped when it reaches the length you specify.
