OverlayOptions.location

rotatable?​

optional rotatable: boolean | "strict" | "legible"

Sets whether the overlay can be rotated to match the gradient of the connector at that location at which it is positioned. If you supply boolean true here, the overlay will be made rotatable in "legible" mode, in which VisuallyJs ensures that the overlay is always mostly 'upright, by avoiding rotating it so that it is upside down or other awkward to read. You can set "strict" mode, which will rotate the overlay to the appropriate angle regardless of whether or not it will make any text on it difficult to read.

visibility?​

optional visibility: OverlayVisibility

Whether the overlay is always visible, or only on hover. Defaults to OVERLAY_VISIBILITY_ALWAYS.

OverlayOptions.visibility
