What's New in this Release
The list below describes recent changes and additions to JsDiagram:
ItemListView supersedes NodeListView and lets you show both nodes and links in the list. Items can be added by calling addItem method, and removed by calling removeItem. defaultNodeSize property from NodeListView is called newInstanceSize in the new class. The autoConnectLinks and autoConnectDistance properties control whether links created via drag-and-drop should connect to nearby nodes in the target diagram. ItemListView also provides more properties for customizing the list layout, such as columns and labelPosition. For compatibility with legacy code, NodeListView won't be removed from the library, bit it won't be getting any new improvements.
The Palette control represents a tool palette that displays DiagramItem objects grouped into categories. It implements Accordion user interface that displays ItemListView components as its child panels, and category icon, title and collapse/expand button in pane headers. Each child ItemListView displays the items added to its corresponding category. Call the addCategory method to define a category and create its respective accordion pane. Call addItem to add an item to specified category. Palette provides same layout and appearance properties as the ItemListView class.
New image and imageLocation properties added to ItemLabel let you display icons along a link's geometry, or add more images to a ShapeNode. If a label contains both text and image, their relative position is specified by imageAlign property (by default the image is placed on left side of text), and distance by contentPadding. The image is rendered using bitmap's intrinsic size, unless you override it by setting imageSize property. You can treat label images as clickable icons by handling linkClicked or nodeClicked events and checking label argument passed to their handlers.
