AddFlow for WPF Professional

What's New in AddFlow for WPF 1.3?

• Rotation. If the CanRotateNode property of AddFlow is true (which is the case by default) and if the IsRotatable property of a node is true (which is the case by default), a node can be rotated programmatically, using the node RotationAngle property or interactively, using a handle placed at the right of the node. You may change the look of this rotation handle using the RotateHandleStyle property.When rotating nodes interactively, the SelectedNodesRotating event is fired and the IsRotatingNode property of AddFlow is true
• Interactive zoom. This new release adds the possibility to zoom the diagram interactively with the mouse if the MouseSelection property of the AddFlow control is set to MouseSelection.Zoom
• Interactive selection enhancement. A new property to accelerate the selection of items inside a rectangle drawn with the the mouse: CanSelectOnMouseMove. It is true by default. If false, the selection is made only at the MouseUp event (see for instance the “Stress” example in the demo)
• AddFlow for WPF adds also two properties SelectionBoxStyle and ZoomingBoxStyle allowing  defining the style of the rectangle used when selection items or zooming interactively with the mouse

AddFlow for WPF Professional is a WPF custom control for creating flowchart diagram. It offers the following advantages:

• A small deployment assembly. The size of the Lassalle.WPF.Flow.dll file is less than 150 Kb
• A light programming interface
• Speed: A design where nodes and links are not controls but just low-level DrawingVisual objects. Using DrawingVisual is the most lightweight way to perform drawing. A good choice if you need to create big diagrams (several thousands of nodes and links).
• Full integration with the WPF environment
• Runtime royalty free

The main difference between AddFlow for WPF Standard and AddFlow for WPF Professional is that AddFlow for WPF Professional includes Automatic Graph Layout functionality provided by LayoutFlow.

Automatic Graph Layout (Professional version only)

AddFlow provides a set of several graph layout algorithms:

• Hierarchic layout

• Tree layout
• Radial Layout

Each of these graph layout algorithms performs a layout on a graph. Performing a layout automatically positions its nodes (also called vertices) and links (also called edges).
