Add new shape to Shapes dashboard using resource dictionary

Print Post  
Is it possible to add new shape to this NodeList using resource xml file ?

currently I added new style like following

In Main window XML

Code
Select All
<diag:NodeListView x:Name="shapeList" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="3"/>


in the constructor of the mainwindow added following line

Code
Select All
            var myShape = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf.Shape(new ElementTemplate[] {
                                                                new LineTemplate(49, 0, 51, 0),
                                                                new BezierTemplate(51, 0, 78.06195, 5.2154064E-07, 100, 12.7598854, 100, 28.5),
                                                                new BezierTemplate(100, 28.5, 100, 28.99188, 99.978576, 29.480846, 99.936242, 29.966606),
                                                                new LineTemplate(99.936242, 29.966606, 99.932602, 30),
                                                                new LineTemplate(99.932602, 30, 100, 30),

            shapeList.Items.Add(new ShapeNode { Bounds = new Rect(0, 0, 50, 50), Shape = myShape, EnabledHandles = AdjustmentHandles.All & ~AdjustmentHandles.ResizeHandles });


if its possible, please explain the steps

If you mean you prefer loading your shape definitions from XML file instead of defining them in C# code, see the ShapeLibrary class. You could add the shapes you currently have defined to a ShapeLibrary instance and call SaveToXml to get them serialized in a file. Then you'll be able to load them by calling ShapeLibrary.LoadFromXml method.

Actually I want to define new shape in a XML file and add that new shape to NodeList

let say this is the file that include the new shape

FlowChartStencils.xaml


Code
Select All
<ResourceDictionary xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
                    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
                    xmlns:s="clr-namespace:DiagramDesigner">

  <s:Toolbox x:Key="FlowChartStencils" ItemSize="60,50" SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
             ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled">
    <ItemsControl.Items>

	     <!-- New "Predefined" Shape Style -->

  <Style x:Key="Predefined" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource FlowChartItemStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Data" Value="M 50,0 V 40 M 10,0 V 40 M 0 0 H 60 V 40 H 0 Z"/>
  </Style>

  <Style x:Key="Predefined_DragThumb" TargetType="Path" BasedOn="{StaticResource Predefined}">
    <Setter Property="IsHitTestVisible" Value="true"/>
    <Setter Property="Fill" Value="Transparent"/>
    <Setter Property="Stroke" Value="Transparent"/>
  </Style>

     <!-- New "Predefined" Shape path -->
      <Path Style="{StaticResource Predefined}" ToolTip="Machine">
        <s:DesignerItem.DragThumbTemplate>
          <ControlTemplate>
            <Path Style="{StaticResource Predefined_DragThumb}"/>
          </ControlTemplate>
        </s:DesignerItem.DragThumbTemplate>
      </Path>

    </ItemsControl.Items>
  </s:Toolbox>
</ResourceDictionary>

I'm not sure what happens in that Xaml. If you mean you need to define nodes' appearance entirely from Xaml, you can do that using DataTemplates.

If you only need bindings that create regular ShapeNodes from your ="M 50,0 V 40 M 10,0 V 40 M 0 0 H 60 V 40 H 0 Z" strings, you could move the code of FromPathString method from previous post to a ValueConverter class, and use the converter in binding expressions to create nodes from paths.

Also check the DiagramNodeAdapter class - it lets you use any WPF control as a node in the diagram.

Let me explain this entirely from scratch

following shape that defined inside constructor of main window

Code

            // Add new custom shape
            var myShape = new MindFusion.Diagramming.Wpf.Shape(new ElementTemplate[] {

                                                                new BezierTemplate(51, 0, 78.06195, 5.2154064E-07, 100, 12.7598854, 100, 28.5),

                                                                new BezierTemplate(0, 28.5, 0, 12.7598854, 21.938048, 5.2154064E-07, 49, 0)
                                                                }, FillRule.Nonzero, "test");


I want to define that in a xaml file and call reference(xaml) of that shape in constructor of main window.

can you mention the steps for that ?

If you want to define this from Xaml, you could keep using the path string syntax we discussed before. Create an IValueConverter that converts string to Shape using FromPathString method from http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1490610357 and use the converter in binding expression as shown in https://wpftutorial.net/ValueConverters.html

FromPathString does not support V and H commands you are showing above, you could add some support for them that still creates LineTemplate as the L command, or otherwise replace H and V with L commands.
