Hello,

I'm trying to draw SVG images on a shape and created a SVGShape class that inherits from the Shape class. When I create the .NET Graphics object from the hdc of the node's IGraphics the svg image won't show. If I create the graphics object from a bitmap and store it in the node's Image I can get a figure, but the image gets stretched or compacted depending on the size of the bitmap and the shape node. Below is the code I'm using:

void Diagram_DrawNode(object sender, MindFusion.Diagramming.DrawNodeEventArgs e)
{
SVGShape aNode = (SVGShape)e.Node;
aNode.ShapeNodeHdc = e.Graphics.GetHdc();
aNode.Load(@"E:\Symbols\Piping\Process_These_Files\OneSymbol.svg");
}

I did look at the custom draw sample which uses the MindFusion IGraphics to draw. The Shape class I created uses a .NET Graphics object, which is why I created the .NET Graphics from the IGraphics hdc.

Any help or examples that draw onto a node using the .NET Graphics would be appreciated.

Thanks for responding.

I was able to get the .NET Graphics from the node IGraphics as you demonstrated. The final rasterimage is drawn but won't show up in the shapenode. Is there another trick to this?

Also I wasn't aware of a SVGNode only the SVGGraphics interface which isn't what I need. I'm using an SVG picturebox hack and replacing it with a Shape node. The control reads the svg xml directly.

stoyo,

Thanks for all your help. I did upgrade and now have the svg capability. But now I'm having a problem trying to load the svg images to a shapelistbox. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
