We are happy to share the newly added features to the latest version of MindFusion JavaScript diagramming library:

Styled text in nodes
You can use HTML-like formatting tags with the ShapeNode.EnableStyledText and apply various attributes to the node’s text. Currently JsDiagram supports:

• <b> specifies bold text
• <i> specifies italic text
• <u> specifies underlined text
• <color=value> specifies text color
• <br /> specifies line break

Diagramming for JavaScript Library: Styled Text

Text rendering improvements

• We have greatly improved the general text rendering quality. The component now removes scale transformations applied for MeasureUnit and ZoomFactor before drawing text on the canvas, and instead specifies a scaled font size, which helps improve text appearance in Firefox and older versions of Chrome.
• You can draw the items’ text underlined. To enable this, set the underline attribute of the Font class.
• You can specify Font styles via the Style instance by calling its setFontStyle() method with a combination of MindFusion.Drawing.FontStyle enumeration members (Bold, Italic, Underline).

Miscellaneous

• You can draw items with dashed lines in browsers that support the setLineDash function. To enable this, set the StrokeDashStyle property of DiagramItem or Style to a member of the MindFusion.Drawing.DashStyle enumeration (Solid, Dash, Dot, DashDot, DashDotDot).
• TreeLayout supports organizational charts with assistant nodes as in Microsoft Office diagrams. To mark nodes as assistants, set node.getLayoutTraits().treeLayoutAssistant to a member of the MindFusion.Graphs.AssistantType enumeration (Normal, Left, Right). Set treeLayout.enableAssistants = true; to arrange assistant nodes in a separate branch between the main node levels.
• You can specify if separate connected components of a graph should be arranged horizontally or vertically relatively to each other by setting the multipleGraphsPlacement attribute of layout classes.
• The type of LinkLabel.Margin property has been changed from number to Thickness, letting you specify different margin sizes at each side of the label.
