AddFlow for WPF Professional

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).
