We have released version 5.0.2 of NetDiagram. It contains the following new features and improvements:

Import OpenOffice Draw files
The DrawImporter class can import .odg files, created by the OpenOffice Draw vector graphics editor. In order to use it, you must add a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Import.Draw.dll assembly. Various overloads of the Import method can be used to import the OpenOffice drawing into a DiagramDocument whose pages correspond to the Draw pages, or into a single Diagram whose content is merged from all imported pages. DrawImporter supports shapes from the General and Flowchart shape palettes in Draw. For each node shape from the .odg file, the importer creates a ShapeNode object whose Shape, Text, Brush and Pen properties are set to values corresponding to the imported OpenOffice shape. For each connector shape, the importer creates a DiagramLink object whose Origin and Destination are set to the corresponding imported nodes, and whose ControlPoints reflect the geometry of the connector.

Canvas mode improvements
The following features are now also available in Canvas mode:

• Glass and Aero visual effects
• radial gradients
• support for custom node types
• multiple labels per link
• NodeSelectedScript and LinkSelectedScript client-side events
• NodeDeselectedScript and LinkDeselectedScript client-side events
• NodeDoubleClickedScript and LinkDoubleClickedScript client-side events
• resizeToFitText method available in JavaScript ShapeNode class

ContainerNode improvements

• child nodes are now drawn by their containers; when containers overlap, the children of a lower container cannot appear in front of the upper container anymore
• the ClipChildren property specifies whether to clip child items to container’s boundaries
• the ZIndex property no longer changes automatically when dropping nodes into a container
• the Visible property of child items no longer changes when folding or unfolding containers; this lets you keep invisible items inside containers

PdfExporter improvements

• Improved handling of clip regions in custom drawing code
• PdfExporter now honors the target Rectangle property of linear gradients
• PDF shadings now include all colors from a ColorBlend
• more precise character widths set when text includes both eastern glyphs and Latin characters
• more precise widths set for Cyrillic characters
