We have released MindFusion ASP.NET Pack 2014.R3. It contains the following new features:

MindFusion.Diagramming for WebForms

Zoom control
(not available in JavaApplet mode)
The ZoomControl class lets users change interactively the current zoom level and scroll position of a DiagramView. To set it up, add a ZoomControl element to the page and set the control's TargetId property to the id of a DiagramView. Set the ZoomStep and ScrollStep properties to specify the amount added to diagram's zoom level or scroll position by ZoomControl's buttons. You can customize the control's appearance by setting properties such as Fill, BorderColor, CornerRadius and TickPosition.

Canvas mode improvements

• The ShadowsStyle property is now supported in Canvas mode.
• Number of link segments can now be set from client-side scripts by calling the setSegmentCount method.
• The BackgroundImageAlign property is now supported in Canvas mode.
• The TextPadding property of items is now supported in Canvas mode.
• Nodes of all classes can be rotated.
• Fixed a bug where the Alpha value of colors was lost after post-back.

Improved arrowhead rendering

• Arrowheads are rendered as a single path when possible and several arrowhead Shape definitions has been changed to implement mitered joints when HeadPen is set to a thick pen.
• The point where end segments connect to arrowheads can be specified via the LinkSegmentInset property of shapes. Shape definitions from the ArrowHeads class set it to suitable default value. This allows using transparent or semi-transparent brushes without seeing the link line drawn behind arrowheads.
• Arrowhead shadows are no longer filled if the link's EffectiveBrush is null or fully transparent.

Miscellaneous

• VisioExporter export speed has been improved greatly for large diagrams.
• For consistence with MindFusion libraries for other platforms, BackBrush in default diagram style has been changed to white brush.
• Improved DiagramLink rendering speed.
• Multiple-resize of rotated nodes fixed to apply same offsets in nodes' local coordinate system.
• The Brush property of LinkLabel class lets you set background color for link labels.
• The ChangeUnit method sets a new MeasureUnit and rescales the coordinates of diagram items to keep them the same size.
