FC.NET 4 beta copy is available for download here:
https://mindfusion.org/_beta/FCNetDemo.zipVersion 4 has the following major new features:
- boxes of Style 'Shape' can be rotated at arbitrary angles. This can be done interactively using a rotation handle, or programmatically using the RotationAngle property of the Box class. The RotateContents property defines whether box contents such as images and text should rotate together with the box outline.
- the Table class allows defining spanning cells. The Cell.RowSpan and ColumnsSpan properties specify how many rows and columns a cell should span. That lets you define several rectangular areas in a table that can have arbitrary size and location relative to the other cells. Text and images inside spanning cells cover the whole rectangular area of such cells.
- table sections can be expanded and collapsed. Define a section by setting row's Header property to true. A +/- button appear in the header's row, letting users hide or shows all rows in the section (up to the next header row). E.g. this can be used to define 'Fields', 'Events' and 'Methods' section in class diagram table nodes.
- The SvgExporter class can create Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files representing FlowChart.NET diagrams. SVG files can be displayed in a browser using the Adobe SVG Viewer, or can be opened in vector graphics editing applications.
Please give the new features a try and let us know if you discover any bugs. It will be also helpful to just try whether your current application features work well with the new flowchart.net.dll, and whether files saved with old versions of the control load fine with the new one.
Check out the updated FCDemo, it now has several additional steps showing the new stuff.
