MindFusion.Diagramming for WPF 2.8
 

Thursday February 2, 2012

We have released a new version of Diagramming for Wpf. This release offers diagram virtualization, improved path-finding and various new properties and methods. As always, we have tried to enhance the features of the control, without bringing excess complexity to its API. Here are the new features in details:

Diagram Virtualization

VirtualizingDiagram can display very large diagrams where actual DiagramNode and DiagramLink instances are created only for the elements currently visible on the screen. This keeps the WPF visual tree small and leads to huger performance improvement if there are thousands of elements in the diagram.

The NodeSource property specifies the data items that should be displayed as nodes; LinksSource specifies the data items that should be displayed as links. The BindingMode property specifies whether the data source should be updated when the user draws new diagram items interactively.


  Paths in a graph
Miscellaneous

The Id property added to DiagramItem allows assigning custom identifiers to items. It can also be used to just store additional custom data similarly to Tag.

Call FindLinkById and FindNodeById to find items by their Id.

HookHeaders enables lane headers to be anchored to the left and top sides of the control's visible area.

Improved path-finding for long links in QuickRouter.

StartPoint and EndPoint provide a shortcut to setting the first and last control points of a DiagramLink.
