How to Customize Description Symbol Palette in JavaScript Diagram?

The Symbol Palette in Syncfusion® JavaScript Diagram allows you to add and customize descriptions for the symbols displayed. This can enhance the usability of the palette by providing additional information about each symbol.

You can customize the descriptions of symbols in the palette by implementing the getSymbolInfo function. This sample demonstrates how to set up a symbol palette with descriptions:

// Initializes the symbol palette
palette = new ej.diagrams.SymbolPalette({
 expandMode: 'Multiple',
 palettes: [
   {
     id: 'connectors',
     expanded: true,
     symbols: connectorSymbols,
     title: 'Connectors',
   },
 ],
 enableAnimation: true,
 width: '100%',
 height: '500px',
 symbolHeight: 100,
 symbolWidth: 100,
 // Function to provide information about each symbol
 getSymbolInfo: function (symbol) {
   // Return an object with description settings for each symbol
   return { 
       description: { 
           text: (symbol.addInfo).text, // Customize the display text 
           overflow:'Clip',  // Define how text overflow is handled
           wrap: "WrapWithOverflow", // Set text wrapping 
           fontSize: 12  // Define the font size of the description
        },                 
   };
 },
});
palette.appendTo('#symbolpalette');
