Updates in V5.4

  • Swimlane Layout
    Swimlane Layout can be used to arrange process diagrams in which nodes representing activities are placed in swimlanes representing resources. The index of the resource allocated to an activity should be assigned to the corresponding node's LayoutTraits [SwimlaneLayoutTraits.Lane]. By default, the algorithm works with the diagram's LaneGrid, but its SwimlaneGrid property can be set to any class that implements ISwimlaneGrid. This allows applying the layout to a custom-drawn grid rendered through the DrawBackground event, or one composed of locked background nodes. 
  • Export diagrams to WMF format
    WmfExporter creates WMF (Windows MetaFile) images from the content of Diagram objects. In order to use this component, add a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.Wmf.dll assembly to your project. To create a WMF file from a diagram, create a WmfExporter instance and call its Export method, passing a Diagram object as parameter.
