GOJS: "floating" nodes in TableLayout?

GoJS

Hi team! I’m doing some tests with the TableLayout sample (Table Layout) and I want to know if there is a way to make a particular node (“Eta” in this case) “float visually” between two groups.

i.e., from this:

To this:

In particular, I’m thinking in one of these two scenarios:
a) Node “Eta” belongs only to Group 2, but has some kind of negative X coordinate.
b) Node “Eta” belongs to Group 1 and Group 2 at the same time.

Thanks for your help.

TableLayout is supposed to put things into rows and columns.

But if you gave up putting nodes into groups and having one group in each cell, I suppose you could hack it by having the node use rowSpan and/or columnSpan values greater than 1. I haven’t tried it, but I’d be concerned that the TableLayout would necessarily position the node at its alignment spot relative to the union of the cells spanned. By default that would mean centered.

Thanks for your reply walter!, I’ll try that.
