What's New in MindFusion FlowChart.NET 5.4?

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.

Other export improvements

Support for shapes with alternating fill style added to PDF and SVG exporters.

What's New in MindFusion FlowChart.NET 5.3.5?

The package now includes a .NET 4 version of the MindFusion.Diagramming assemblies, available in the VS2010 subfolder of the installation folder. These assemblies can also be used in applications that target the .NET 4 Client Profile. The VS2010 folder also includes sample projects for Visual Studio 2010. Versions 2 and 3 of the .NET runtime are still supported.

Other Improvements

The ShadowColor property has been replaced by ShadowBrush.

The FoldedContainerSize property allows setting the size of folded containers to be larger than their caption bar.

ShapeNodes whose Brush is set to a PathGradientBrush instance now use a gradient path corresponding to their Shape instead of a rectangle.

What's New in MindFusion FlowChart.NET 5.3.4?

ArrowHead enhancements

The type of the HeadShape, BaseShape and IntermediateShape properties of DiagramLink has been changed from enum ArrowHead to class Shape, which is also used to define ShapeNode shapes. The ArrowHeads class now exposes Shape definitions that correspond to the ArrowHead enumeration members from previous versions. It is also possible to assign any Shapes member or a custom shape as an arrowhead. When used for arrowheads, position (50, 0) in the shape definition corresponds to the arrowhead's tip point.

Now IntermediateShape arrowheads are also rendered for Bezier links.

Different arrowhead shapes can be filled with distinct brushes as set through HeadBrush, BaseBrush and IntermediateBrush.

Arrowheads can be custom drawn at arbitrary locations through the DrawArrowhead method.

Support for intermediate arrowheads added to DxfExporter.

Other Enhancements

The ShapeDesigner tool now supports filled decoration objects (used in BPMN shapes).

ShapeDesigner allows drawing the shape's text region outside the shape outline.

HitTest method added to TreeViewNode.

What's New in MindFusion FlowChart.NET V5?

Document/View architecture

FlowChart.NET implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architectural pattern in its new version 5. The MVC design pattern as applied to FlowChart.NET separates the diagram data (model) from its representation to the user (view) and controlling it by the user (controller). According to the MVC design pattern, FlowChart.NET Version 5 provides two new classes instead of the FlowChart class, namely Diagram and DiagramView.

Support for custom diagram item types

The FlowChart.NET API has been redesigned to allow for seamless integration of custom node and link types. You can define a custom item type by deriving from DiagramLink or DiagramNode. You could also derive from more specific node types such as ShapeNode or ContainerNode. New items can be added to a diagram by instantiating them and adding them to the Nodes or Links collections. To improve support for custom types, many type-specific methods have been replaced with more generic versions, e.g. FindNode instead of FindBox and FindTable.

Containers

The ContainerNode class implements diagram nodes that can function as containers for other nodes. Containers can be folded to hide their content, and unfolded to show it again. Containers can be nested one within another, without limitation on the depth of nesting.

Orthogonal graph layout

OrthogonalLayout is a secondary layout algorithm that can be used to arrange links after an initial node arrangement has already been applied. The orthogonal layout is useful when there are much more links than nodes in a graph. The algorithm strives to achieve the following criteria, while preserving as much of the initial node configuration as possible: links must not overlap; only vertical and horizontal routing lines are used; graph routing is performed with respect to the specified main layout direction; links crossings are minimized; bends are minimized.

Graphics interface

Now all drawing is done through an IGraphics interface, for which the control provides GdiGrahics, SvgGraphics and PdfGraphics implementations. Thus the files created by SvgExporter and PdfExporter can contain custom-drawn elements, which you draw either by handling custom drawing events or by implementing the Draw method in your custom item types.

API changes

Conformity with the .NET Framework naming conventions has been improved.

Enhance your applications with diagramming and graphing capabilities.
