	I don't really understand what determines the FlowChart's size. I've create a new FlowChart and inserted it in JScrollPane. I can see that it spreads beyond the screen - although it was just created and it's empty. ??? I've tried using setPreferredSize and setMaximumSize - still with no success. The chart still seems to be bigger than the visible screen. Why is that? How can I shrink this chart?

	FlowChart.setDocBounds() does that. Stoyan

	Isn't there a way to use an automatic size? What I need is to have a chart in a panel. Once the items in the chart exceed its limits, then scrollbars will appear, but until then the chart will retain it's minimal size. This is quite the same as SWING components behavior - retaining their minimal sizes but expand in case of need.

	There is something similar. You could use setDocBounds to set the initial size, and call FlowChart.setAutoSizeDoc(AutoSize.AllDirections). That will make the document size increase automatically when users draw new items. setAutoSizeDoc does not work for items that are created programmatically. You could call FlowChart.resizeToFitItems() to set the document size after creating items from code. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	This sounds like it solves most of the issues. If there will be a feature in the future the resizes to fit but don't shrink more than a minimum given size - please tell me. This wil solve all the issues. Thanks! Yoav

	I think setAutoSizeDoc() won't shrink the size past the initial DocBounds. We can also add a minSize parameter to resizeToFitItems() and use it as the minimum size. Stoyan

	This will be great, since I will use only resizeToFitItems(). I use a static graph that is created by program. Thanks, Yoav
