Hello everybody,

is it possible to implement a cause-effect diagram (fishbone) with flowchart.net? if so, can I see a small example?

Hi,

You could use unconnected Arrow objects to draw most of the diagram, and transparent Box objects to draw the labels. Do you need to create diagrams from code, or let users draw them interactively?

I thought the most elegant way is to let the users draw them interactively. But I thought the easiest way to realize that is to implement a context menu, from where you can add a new node. And i think it would be nice to make the diagram collapsible. Can s.o. help me in doing that?

Here is a small example that shows how to let users draw fishbone diagrams interactively:

https://mindfusion.org/_samples/fishbone.zip

It uses version 5 of Flowchart.NET (the version 5 dlls are included in the zip). Currently only the initial drawing of a fishbone diagram is implemented; letting users modify what's already drawn is not implemented, but you can easily extend the sample to do so.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hello Stoyan,
I am new to this, I need to make a board of command, also known as balanced scorecard, I need help, what I need is to bring data from a database and display on the nodes, then I should join one or more nodes with the link but Programming, the link (anchor point) must be disabled should allow only through programming.

I am interested in what you mentioned about cause and effect, by quen also need that the download page is not working.
Thanks and greetings

Hi,

That sample is now included in the Flowchart.NET installation. You can find it in the C:\Program Files\MindFusion\FlowChart.NET\VS2005 (.NET 2.0)\Samples\C#\Fishbone folder. There is VB.NET version available too.

Set the AllowMoveStart and AllowMoveEnd properties of links to false to prevent users from moving the link ends to different anchor points.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

hi Stoyan,

I record in the database the anchors of one node to another node?, I also want to know whether the nodes to move from side to side I burn the latest location.
  I hope your answer
mhcuas Garcias,
greetings

Hi,

You can access the anchor points through the OriginAnchor and DestinationAnchor property of links. If by "to move from side to side " you mean nodes should be allowed to move only horizontally, set the node.Constraints.MoveDirection property.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
