 > This section links to the documentation of Kendo UI for jQuery. The Telerik Diagram for Blazor is not a wrapper of the Kendo UI Diagram. However, both components use the same client-side rendering engine. When the Kendo UI documentation mentions the `kendo.dataviz.diagram` JavaScript namespace, you must use `TelerikBlazor.DiagramCommon` instead.

+## Description
+
+This KB answers the following questions:
+
+* How to show the text label of a Diagram Shape below the image? By default, the text overlays the image, making it hard to read.
+* Can the Shape text be positioned under the image without using visual functions with JavaScript?
+* How to display and position the text in a Diagram Shape below the image?
+
+## Solution
+
+To rearrange the text labels and images in the Blazor Diagram Shapes, use the [`Visual` parameter of the `<DiagramShapeDefaults>` or `<DiagramShape>` tag](slug:diagram-shapes#visual-function). This will either affect all Shapes or a specific Shape. The associated JavaScript function may position the image and text with [`x` and `y` properties](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/documentation/api/javascript/dataviz/diagram/text_block), but usually, the better option is to use a [`Layout` primitive](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-jquery-ui/documentation/api/javascript/dataviz/diagram/layout) as in the example below.
