Limiting row width on FlowChartX.NET

Hi, I'm doing some support work on an old application that is rendering an organisational structure using FlowChartX.NET version 3.2.1.20797.

One of the change requests from the client is to limit the number of nodes that are rendered on a row, so that the page does not exceed the boundaries of the window (when rendered TreeLayoutDirection.TopToBottom) - in other words, they would like subordinate nodes to be rendered up to a maximum width of 4 nodes, with any overflow then shown below on a linked row. Please see the attached example image for a visual representation.

Is this at all possible in this version (or a newer one?)

Regards,
Steve

Hi,

There's nothing built-in. I think this kind of layout will work only if your tree has two levels, e.g. it's not clear how the levels should be split if you have some large branches growing from the HI1 and HP nodes. If your trees are of two levels, you could arrange all the root's children in a four-column grid below the root (similar to what's shown in the Predefined Shapes example) and then set the links' ControlPoints to appropriate shapes.

If you need to display arbitrarily deep trees, try using the TreeLayout settings from the DirTree example - they will let you fit very deep trees in a page's width, especially if you set negative LevelDistance (so that nodes from adjacent levels overlap a bit horizontally).

I hope that helps,
Stoyan
