Diagramming for Windows Forms, V6.3.1

Posted on by

MindFusion has just released a new version of its popular Diagramming for WinForms component. Here are details about the new features:

Improved arrowhead rendering
Arrowhead rendering has been improved as you can see in following new vs. old version image.

  • arrowheads are rendered as a single path when possible and several arrowhead Shape definitions has been changed to implement mitered joints when HeadPen is set to a thick pen.
  • the point where end segments connect to arrowheads can be specified via the Shape.LinkSegmentInset property. Shape definitions from the Arrowheads class set it to suitable default value. This allows using transparent or semi-transparent brushes without seeing the link line drawn behind arrowheads.
  • arrowhead shadows are no longer filled if the link’s EffectiveBrush is null or fully transparent.

Posted on by

We have released Diagramming for WinForms, V6.1.3 with the following new features:

Export of Visio 2013 files
You can use the Visio2013Exporter class to export the contents of your Diagram and DiagramDocument objects to Visio 2013 VSDX files. First, you need a reference to the MindFusion.Diagramming.Export.Visio.dll assembly. Currently, the exporter supports shapes from the Visio basic stencil. We shall add support for more shapes upon request. You can learn more on how to use the exporter at the MindFusion.Diagramming for WinForms news announcement page or from the product’s online documentation.

Improvements in the Visio2013Importer

  • The importer now supports Visio group shapes. Child shapes in groups are no longer lost when importing, and their corresponding diagram nodes are attached to the corresponding group node.
  • Visio NURBS curves are now imported as Bezier-style links.
  • Shapes with a ‘hidden’ attribute in master definition are now imported as invisible items.
  • and more.

Headers and footers in PDF
The PdfExporter class can add headers and footers to the exported pages. Use the HeaderFormat, HeaderFont, FooterFormat and FooterFont properties to specify the contents and the font.

Posted on by

MindFusion has just released Pack for WinForms 2014.R2. The most important new features in the components are listed below:

diagram16x16MindFusion.Diagramming

Resize of multiple nodes

Now you can resize multiple selected nodes simultaneously – just set the AllowMultipleResize property to true. When enabled, dragging a corner or any side adjustment handle of a node, resizes all nodes in the selection.

Visio2013Importer improvements

  • The Item argument of ImportItem event handlers is now pre-set to a DiagramItem instance created for the imported Visio shape, letting you avoid parsing some standard data such as Bounds or Text. You can either modify this item’s properties, or replace it with a new instance of a different type.
  • several bugs and crashes have been fixed

Miscellaneous

  • LinkLabels are now copied by the DiagramLink copy constructor and clipboard methods.
  • DiagramView.ZoomFactor setter no longer automatically aligns its value to ZoomControl zoom steps. This avoids imprecise ZoomToFit results.
  • a few API changes have been made.

Spreadsheet-16x16MindFusion.Spreadsheet

The new version fixes several bugs and offers improved binary and XML serialization. The new version is not compatible with old binary and XML formats.
