Diagramming for JavaScript 1.2 Released
 

Wednesday November 9, 2011

MindFusion has released a new version of its diagramming library for JavaScript. Here is an overview of the most important new features in the control:

Alignment grid

The alignment grid allows the control points of items that are being created or modified to be aligned to the nearest grid points. The GridSizeX and GridSizeY properties specify the distance between adjacent grid points. The grid can be either visible or invisible depending on whether ShowGrid is true. The GridStyle and GridColor properties define the appearance of visible grids. Set AlignToGrid to true in order to activate the grid.

  Diagram arranged with the Bordered Tree Layout
Bordered tree layout

In contrast to the TreeLayout, which centers the parent node above its child nodes, BorderedTreeLayout arranges the children at a horizontal offset from their parent. The members of the BorderedTreeLayout control the tree direction, the space between tree levels and between nodes on the same level.

Anchor points

The new AnchornPattern class represents a set of AnchorPoint objects, which specify the exact locations where links are allowed to connect to nodes. The pattern is assigned to a node by calling setAnchorPattern. The possible patterns are exposed as static fields in the AnchorPattern class: decision2In2Out, decision1In3Out, leftInRightOut, topInBottomOut.
