MindFusion has released a new version of its popular diagramming component for WinForms. Most of the new features are requested by the users – here is a list:
Import of OpenOffice Draw Files
The new DrawImporter class can import *.odg files, created by the OpenOffice Draw vector graphics editor. The importer requires a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Import.Draw.dll assembly. The DrawImporter supports shapes from the General and Flowchart shape palettes in Draw. At your disposal are a variety of Import method overloads that can be used to import the OpenOffice drawing into a DiagramDocument whose pages correspond to the Draw pages, or into a single Diagram whose content is merged from all imported pages.
Import from OpenOffice Draw files is now supported.
Miscellaneous
- The XUnit and YUnit properties allow specifying the coordinates of an AnchorPoint as a fixed offset from the node’s top-left corner rather than as a percentage; this means the point position does not change when the node is resized.
- You can use the new RotationHandleBrush property of HandlesVisualStyle to set the brush of rotation handles.
- Two new properties – StrokeDashStyle of DiagramItemStyle and HeadStrokeDashStyle property of DiagramLinkStyle.
- The ArrangeLinkLabels method rearranges the link labels whose AutoArrange flag is set.
- and many more – you can read the full list with further details at the forum.
Rotation of a node.
