Diagramming for JavaScript 1.6

MindFusion has released a new version of its diagramming library for JavaScript. Here is an overview of
the most important new features in the control:

Node Effects

You can now apply two visual effects to your nodes – the GlassEffect and AeroEffect. In order to apply
an effect, create an instance of the respective class, set its properties and add the instance to the
Effects collection. You can add, remove or modify effects at any time and this will immediately affect the appearance of the diagram. You can apply effects of different types simultaneously.

Multiple labels per link

The new LinkLabel class lets you display multiple captions for a single DiagramLink object. You can fully
customize the display and positioning of the link labels. The new LinkLabel.AutoArrange property lets you arrange automatically the labels to avoid overlapping.

Miscellaneous

  • The new setVirtualScroll method enables the virtual scrolling mode. In this mode, the canvas stays as big as its containing div, and its content is drawn with a translation bound to the div’s scrollbar positions. This allows displaying large diagrams in browsers and on mobile devices where the size of the HTML canvas elements is limited.
  • resizeToFitText method is added to ShapeNode.
  • Improved support for nested containers.
