MindFusion has just released a new version of its popular diagramming component for ActiveX. We have added a new layout, new appearance features and improvements to the LayeredLayout. Here are the details:
|
|
|
Fractal tree layout
FractalLayout is a tree layout algorithm that places child nodes symmetrically around their parent node. Nodes at the lowest level are arranged directly in a circle around their parent. At upper levels, the already arranged nodes form branches that are arranged in a circle around the new parent node. The algorithm is recursively repeated till the highest level is reached.

Enhancements in the LayeredLayout
 You can specify the start and end nodes in the LayeredLayout with the StartNode and EndNode properties.
The EnforceLinkFlow property specifies whether to attempt to force all links to go in the same direction. If the graph being arranged contains cycles, some of the links will still go backward. |

Alignment guides
The ESnapStyle enumeration has new member - snpAlignmentGuides. If you set the SnapStyle property to ESnapStyle.snpAlignmentGuides the node currently being drawn or resized is aligned to another node so that a pair of their vertical or horizontal sides become collinear. To specify the maximal distance at which nodes are aligned, set the SnapDistance property. The pair of aligned nodes is indicated visually by drawing an alignment guide using a pen, which color and style are specified via AlignmentGuideColor and AlignmentGuideStyle. |
