Hi,

Is 'assistant' some kind of shape you need to use as a node?

An assistant is a node which gets its link from the side. (like a diagram in word, for example).
An assistant can have only one parent.

I've checked the Word organizational diagrams feature. At this time TreeLayout does not provide built-in support for arranging nodes as Word does place Assistant nodes, if that's what you are asking? Otherwise that can be implemented as an ordinary ShapeNode with anchor points set at its left and right side middles.

At this time TreeLayout does not provide built-in support for arranging nodes like that. We could try to implement that for the next release.

Hi,

I understood the diagram doesn't provide built in assistant.
But can I implement it with the other properties, or other layouts?
I like the tool's abilities , and this is the last point, which I must know it is posible before I buy it.
Thanks in advance.

Our developer will check later this week if we can add support for this in TreeLayout. It will be easier than trying to implement it with other properties or layouts.

Try this version of the control:
https://mindfusion.eu/_beta/wpf_tlassist.zip

You set some nodes as assistants in the org.chart like this:
Code
Select All
Node.LayoutTraits[MindFusion.Layout.TreeLayoutTraits.Assistant] = true;
 



Run TreeLayout like this:

Code
Select All
TreeLayout tl = new TreeLayout();
tl.EnableAssistants = true;
tl.LinkStyle = TreeLayoutLinkType.Cascading3;
tl.Type = TreeLayoutType.Centered;
tl.Arrange(diagram);
 



I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hello! I tried to use it, and It's Very Nice! but I still have some problems..
1) the incomming arrow, come from the top of the assistant node. It's have to enter from the side (how can I notice that It's an assistant and not a child?)
2) when I add only assistants (without children) It's look strange, from the second assistant, the assistas arrange In a straight line, one covers the other, ect. when I add a Child, It OK.
I think I used it as you mean. Can you check It?
Thank you.

It's look really very nice.
I'm still checking, but I think It's excellent, that what we need.
I noticed, that when I'm arrange the diagram in the first time, the "root node" locate in the top-left corner. that is the expected behavior ?
Thank you.

Yes, unless you set TreeLayout.KeepRootPosition = true.

I hope that helps,
