We have just released a new version of Diagramming for WPF. It contains the following new features and improvements:

Import of OpenOffice Draw files

You can use the new DrawImporter class to import *.odg files created by the OpenOffice Draw vector graphics editor. There are various downloads of the Import method, which can be used to import an OpenOffice drawing into a DiagramDocument, whose pages correspond to the Draw pages. You can also import your *.odg file into a single Diagram whose content is merged from all imported pages. Currently we support shapes from the General and Flowchart shape palettes in draw. Each shape or link is imported into a ShapeNode or DiagramLink object, whose appearance properties are set to match those of the imported shape/link as precisely as possible.

You can now import your diagrams from OpenOffice Draw files

Display graphs in 3D

You can now display the elements of a diagram in the 3D space with the new DiagramView3D control. The control is very easy to use – just assign the Diagram to be displayed in 3D space to the Diagram property. DiagramView3D adds a 3D model to the scene for each node or link of the specified diagram. By default, nodes always face the camera, unless the NodeRotationType property is set to None.

The new 3D graph viewer

Miscellaneous

• The appearance of hatch patterns used to draw frames for several HandlesStyle types is
  improved
• You can now load HatchBrush objects from files saved by Windows Forms and ASP.NET versions of the control.
