Hi,
When i try to export diagram that contains templated ShapeNodes
there is a problem with rendering a DataBinded properties.

Code
Select All
<Window x:Class="Diagraming.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        xmlns:diagram="http://mindfusion.eu/diagramming/wpf"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="450" Width="800">
    <Grid>
        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <RowDefinition/>
            <RowDefinition/>
        </Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <Button Content="Export to PDF" Grid.Row="0" Click="ExportToPdf_Click"></Button>
        <diagram:DiagramView x:Name="diagram" Grid.Row="1">
            <diagram:DiagramView.Resources>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type diagram:ShapeNode}">
                    <Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <Label Background="Yellow" Content="{Binding Text, RelativeSource={RelativeSource FindAncestor, AncestorType=Window}}"></Label>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Style>
            </diagram:DiagramView.Resources>
        </diagram:DiagramView>
    </Grid>
</Window>
 


Code (C++)
Select All
namespace Diagraming
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window, INotifyPropertyChanged
    {
        [field: NonSerialized]
        public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged;

        public void NotifyPropertyChanged(string propertyName)
        {
            if (PropertyChanged != null)
                PropertyChanged(this, new PropertyChangedEventArgs(propertyName));
        }

        public Diagram diag { get; set; }

        private string text;
        public String Text
        {
            get
            {
                return text;
            }
            set
            {
                text = value;
                NotifyPropertyChanged("Text");
            }
        }
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.DataContext = this;
            Text = "Test";

            diag = new Diagram();
            diag.Nodes.Add(new ShapeNode()
            {
                Shape = new Shape(new ElementTemplate[]
                        {
                            new LineTemplate(0, 0, 100, 0),
                            new LineTemplate(100, 0, 100, 100),
                            new LineTemplate(100, 100, 0, 100),
                        }, FillRule.EvenOdd),
            });

            diag.Nodes.Last().Move(50, 25);

            diagram.Diagram = diag;
        }


        private void ExportToPdf_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var exporter = new PdfExporter();

            //foreach (var diag in diagrams)
                exporter.Export(diag, @"D:\temp\diagram.pdf");
        }
    }
}

Hi,

AncestorType=Window does not work because node presenters created by PdfExporter are not in the window's logical tree. We could add an option to export a DiagramView instead of a Diagram to reuse the view's logical tree, or maybe pass another UI object to set as logical parent. We'll have that in mind for next release.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I've found one more strange behaviour when using unicode characters in TextBlock used as DataTemplate. Two examples bellow.

This text causing exception when i try to make pdf export, but on diagram is rendered properly.
Code
Select All
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type diagram:ShapeNode}">
                    <Setter Property="Template">
                        <Setter.Value>
                            <DataTemplate>
                                <TextBlock Text="&#x16C;&#x117;" Background="Yellow" FontFamily="Arial"/>
                            </DataTemplate>
                        </Setter.Value>
                    </Setter>
                </Style>
 



Another example for different unicode characters shows difference between diagram visualization and exported pdf (extra space character and text offset).

Code
Select All
<TextBlock Text="&#x15B;&#x107;" Background="AliceBlue"  FontFamily="Arial"/>

Exporter's encoding detection seems to fail in that case. Try this to fix the exception:

Code
Select All
exporter.DefaultEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;
exporter.Export(...);

Thanks. That worked for the first example, but not for the second. Look for the attached screenshoots.

Actually you'll also need to disable AutoDetectEncoding for DefaultEncoding to be applied everywhere:

Code
Select All
exporter.AutoDetectEncoding = false;
exporter.DefaultEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;
exporter.Export(...); 



WPF appears to apply font fallback when the ttf file does not contain some glyphs, and unfortunately PdfExporter does not detect that. In this case Arial falls back to Arial Unicode MS. We'll see if we can detect that automatically for next release. At this time this seems to fix the sc string:

Code
Select All
<TextBlock Text="&#x15B;&#x107;" Background="Yellow" FontFamily="Arial Unicode MS"/>
