Graph Layout Algorithms in Diagram Controls
You can lock selected diagram elements or the whole diagram by using the read-only mode. If you want to build a hierarchy, you can create nodes that can be expanded and collapsed. If you are building a database diagram or an ER chart, the scrollable tables will be of help. All nodes support in-place editing. If you move them their connectors can be positioned dynamically relative to the nodes that they link.
