Assembly: MindFusion.Diagramming

 Syntax

C#

public Path FindShortestPath (
    DiagramNode from,
    DiagramNode to,
    bool useNodeWeights,
    bool useLinkWeights
)

Visual Basic

Public Function FindShortestPath( _
    from As DiagramNode, _
    to As DiagramNode, _
    useNodeWeights As Boolean, _
    useLinkWeights As Boolean _
) As Path

 Parameters

from

The first DiagramNode in the Path.

to

The last DiagramNode in the Path.

useNodeWeights

If true, the Path with minimal total weight is found, summing the Weight of nodes in the Path.

useLinkWeights

If true, the Path with minimal total weight is found, summing the Weight of links in the Path.

 Return Value

A Path instance that represents the shortest Path found or null (Nothing in Visual Basic) if there is no Path connecting from and to.
