MindFusion Diagram Component for Xamarin Beta Version

Posted on by

MindFusion is pleased to announce the first release of its Diagramming component for Xamarin. The control is packed with a comprehensive set of features that allows programmers to create, modify and render various types of diagrams fast and easy.

Among its core features are table and container nodes, tree nodes, shape library with a rich choice of predefined node shapes, diagram links with various arrowhead styles and different connector types – Bezier, straight, polyline.

Each Xamarin diagram you build with the component is fully interactive – users can drag, move, resize, create and delete all types of nodes and links. The control fires events for the tiniest user gestures so your software can perform the necessary operations as a result. The event set includes every single action – from editing a link to deleting a node.

The chart’s appearance is fully customizable. Each element of the diagram exposes its complete set of style settings like brush, pen, font, which give you full control over its looks. You can apply glass and aero visual effects for glossier look.

You can organize content in layers for better visualization and use a grid for more precise location and alignment of diagram elements. Ready flowcharts can be quickly persisted into XML with the call of a single method.

We invite you to test the initial MindFusion Diagramming for Xamarin Release. Direct download is available from this link:

Posted on by

MindFusion has released a new version of Diagramming for WinRT control. Here is an overview of the new features:

License keys

Instead, you should set the LicenseKey property to disable the component’s evaluation mode and stop displaying trial messages. If your application has more than one Diagram instance or other controls by MindFusion, a single call to MindFusion.Licensing.LicenseManager.AddLicense(key) is enough to specify the key for all the controls. You can find your license key strings listed on the Keys & Downloads page at your http://clientsarea.eu account.

Improved arrowhead rendering

  • Arrowheads are rendered as a single path when possible and several arrowhead Shape definitions have been changed to implement mitered joints when HeadStrokeThickness is set to a bigger value.
