Shapenode and multiple shape

Hi Stoyo

Is it possible to have multiple shapes for a shapenode like in following fig.


As of now, I need minimum two additional shape support for the shapenode.

Is it possible to make this in release 1.4 or release 1.5.

Regards
Rajesh

It is possible by adding decoration / filled decoration elements to the Shape, e.g. as in BPMN shapes. Such decoration elements scale proportionally to node.Bounds. If you don't want the decorations to scale, you could add Images or Paths to the ShapeNode template, and position them using a Grid container.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi Stoyo

Thanks !! . I did same thing right now. From usablity point, I think above point should be in mind fusion implementation.

Also, you can have something like following in your implementation -
1. Each node have one collection object similar to containernode having childern collection.

This collection can have following type of object - images, text and shapes.

For shape, user can specifiy the custom template for grid (rows, column and therir sizes. and user can specify the row,columns for each childern item and they gets rendered according to same.)

This allows, for each shape n number of child shapes and multiple text/image possiblities.
