Hello!

Ive downloaded the demo of FlowChart.NET,
and im trying to create an ER-diagram (database entity relations) of Box' and arrows..

For my testing i got a db with 260 tables and about 300 foreign keys.

At first i inserted all of the tables at 0,0 thinking that since the gridlayout shuffles node placement, it wouldnt make a difference. After trying that with several different iterationcount sets i tried running through the fc's boxes and placing them in the middle.. This helped a little, but now it seems that the algorithm favorites placing boxes right and down, which gives me a large whitespace in the upper and left area... well i can live with that... But i dont understand what im doing wrong, cause my boxes sometimes (almost always actually) are placed outside of the set docextends.. why is this ?
and how do i correct it.. ?

I hope i was clear enough in describing my problem, the product seems to have many interesting features, but before we buy it we need to know if it will do the trick

Compilation time is about 3-4 minutes, which is fine, cause we can run it in a different thread while a very large amount of data is read in another.


I have another problem too, how do i make the flowchart not editable ? i can of course set the enabled=false, but that disabled my scrollbars aswell, and i need those...


Thanks in advance for your time guys !

The behavior and FitDocToObjects worked very well ! thanks for that, but i cant seem to call
UseLongestPath on my gridlayout object, nor on the GridLayout class, what did i miss ?

Thanks a lot for your help !
