Netrix Shapes by Guru Components

Add flowchart and shape drawing capabilities to your applications. Netrix Shapes is a sophisticated HTML driven drawing .NET WinForms component that can be used to create flow diagrams and workflow designs with advanced design elements. It provides advanced editing features like: inserting elements, accessing the Document Object Model (DOM), formatting text and comprehensive, object based, CSS support. It comes with basic HTML editing controls, like ColorPicker, FontPicker, and StyleEditor, which you can freely use independently of the basic control. With PropertyGrid support and a complete .NET like API this control provides you a .NET like interface and has many advantages over a Interop-DLL. It has a table cell width slider, custom glyphs and many other features.

Netrix Shapes Elements - NetRix Shapes component comes with a full User Interface, PropertyGrid support and additional controls (ColorPicker, FontPicker, StyleEditor) in nine languages. The component supports MS Word table editing, Drag & Drop etc. In addition to the pre-defined shapes offered by Netrix Shapes, programmers can also create custom shapes using the shape element. Predefined shapes serve two purposes - they provide a more compact representation of a small number of very frequently encountered drawing operations (particularly rectangles and circles).

Netrix Shapes Drawing Capability - Shape elements represent shapes: rectangles, ovals, circles, triangles. Each shape is described as a path formed from a series of connected lines and curves. Netrix Shapes uses elements and attributes to describe the outline, fill, position and other properties of each shape. Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) styles are used to position the individual shape elements on the Web page, alongside the usual HTML elements such as P and IMG.
