9.5 Configuring Map Label Scale Size and Borders

The NNMi Administrator can make the following adjustments to a map view using the nms-ui. properties file:

The scale value for node and port labels as a map is re-sized using the Zoom feature.
The largest relative scale factor that can be used to determine the difference in size between nodes or ports and their labels on a map.
Whether labels for nodes and ports are surrounded with a black rectangle.

Note

By default labels for nodes and ports are surrounded with a black rectangle to improve readability when labels overlap.

The following table describes the properties to change.

Tip: Each scale adjustment property value is multiplied with the actual scale factors used by NNMi. For example, if you change the labelScaleAdjust value to .50, then the labels as seen on the map are one half of their normal size.

Table 9‒1: Properties to Change in the nms-ui.properties File
Property	Default Value	Description
com.hp.nnm.ui.labelScaleAdjust	1.0	Adjusts the scale size of the map labels for nodes and ports
com.hp.nnm.ui.omitLabelRectangle	true	Determines whether to use a black rectangle to surround the node and port labels. Note: To turn rectangles off, set the value to false.

Note: To implement your changes, re-open or change your map view.
