Feature Release

Nevron Diagram for .NET helps you to integrate and display sophisticated diagrams in your .NET Windows Forms and ASP.NET applications quickly and easily. It is a complete diagramming solution, packed with many interactivity features, shapes, automatic layouts, stunning visual effects and comes equipped with ready to use controls to help you boost your application development. Carefully crafted to meet different requirements, it provides unmatched extensibility options, which will help you to integrate the solution better into the context of your particular application. Nevron Diagram for .NET provides advanced support for interactivity, behavior customization of different diagram elements, automatic layouts, graphs and trees, support for different measurement units, visual effects and decorations, different image formats and more. With Nevron Diagram you will be able to produce any type of diagrams and flowcharts, hundreds of intuitive samples and examples with source code are included to speed up your development time.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2010 Vol.1

Windows Forms Control Hosting
Any Windows Forms control can now be integrated into the drawing document. Drawings that embed windows forms controls can be serialized. WinForm controls serialization is implemented as a design surface (very similar to the one that Visual Studio uses).

Localization Support
The diagram is now fully localizable. If you are interested in developing a localized diagramming solution ask us for a localization dictionary or take the time to localize the diagram by yourself, by translating the dictionary provided with Nevron .NET Vision.

Diagram Layout Improvements

  • Performance improvements in the following layouts: Layered Graph, Orthogonal, Radial, Single Cycle, Balloon.
  • Some layouts (for example the Orthogonal Graph Layout) can now take advantage of multicore CPUs to improve performance even more.
  • Force directed layouts now have a property MaxTime that determines the maximum time the layout is allowed to operate. When this time is exceeded the layout is interrupted and the results produced by the current iteration are used.

Map Improvements

  • Support for value and range fill rules. This feature helps you colorize any map in a data driven fashion.
  • Support data binding to external tables. This feature helps you natively extend the information available for each ESRI shape, by attaching tabular data to maps.
  • No need for dBASE driver for reading dbf map data.

Miscellaneous Improvements

  • The TextureMapping layout of texture fill styles (Gradient, Advanced Gradient, Hatch and Image) is now honored by path primitives. In RelativeToViewer mode when you rotate shapes the texture will not rotate. In RelativeToObject mode when you rotate shapes textures will rotate too. Older versions rendered path primitives always with RelativeToViewer texture mapping (e.g. RelativeToObject was not supported).
  • The drawing preview manager has an option to suppress shape reconnection on shape move and drag and drop. When ReconnectOnMove is true the diagram will behave as it did before - reconnect the moved/drag-dropped shapes. When ReconnectOnMove is false the diagram will not break shape connections on move (1D shapes plugs and 2D shapes outward port connections).
  • The NMouseWheelScrollAndZoomTool has been redesigned to allow arbitrary configuration of whether zoom and/or scroll must be performed on normal or control keys modified mouse wheel.

Vector Image Export
The diagram can now be exported to the following additional vector image formats: PDF, Flash, Silverlight, EMF (Extended Metafile).

Flash Animations
When exporting to Flash image format the diagram can now generate animated drawings. Animation options are implemented as a style attribute and are available for each shape.
