Hi,

Some times the link is not proper. Please check the attached screen shot. Here the link near the arrow head is not proper. Am I missing anything?

Looks like it happens because of our recent change to grid router,

this.diagram.setLinkRouter(new GridRouter(this.diagram));

Regards,
Kannan

It should not be different than your Silverlight results, unless you were using different units or GridRouter property values there. Try setting larger nodeVicinity* values -

Code
Select All
gridRouter.nodeVicinitySize *= 3;
gridRouter.nodeVicinityCost *= 3;

Hi,

I tried this too like below but still same issue. Am I wrong?

    var gridRouter = new GridRouter(this.diagram)
    var nodeVicinitySize = gridRouter.getNodeVicinitySize();
    var nodeVicinityCost = gridRouter.getNodeVicinityCost();
    nodeVicinitySize *= 3;
    nodeVicinityCost *= 3;
    gridRouter.setNodeVicinitySize(nodeVicinitySize);
    gridRouter.setNodeVicinityCost(nodeVicinityCost);
    this.diagram.setLinkRouter(gridRouter);

Please check the Node-2, Node-3 in the attached screen shot.

Hi,

Property values in GridRouter are adjusted for the default Millimeter measure unit, while your app seems to use Pixel unit, so you might need to tweak other properties too for that (length and turn costs, grid size). Try changing MeasureUnit to Pixel in "Link Routing" example from our .NET or Java libraries and find values that you like using the slider UI there -

Hi,

In silverlight we didn't set the measure unit. So, by default, the measure unit is WpfPoint. So, in java script app, I changed the measure unit to WpfPoint. But still it didn't work. In silverlight also, we didn't change default values for vicinity etc. May I know where I missed?

Kannan

Well, we decided to use the superior metric system in JS library Wink and you will have to adjust various size-related property values if switching units to use pixels or points instead of millimeters (selection handles sizes, arrowhead sizes, etc). For GridRouter specifically, you will need to adjust at least the GridSize and NodeVicinitySize values. The cost values should not matter much if you have roughly same number of grid pieces per node.

Hi,

As I said, we have used the default measure unit, WpfPoint, in silverlight. The coordinates and the size of the nodes are stored in the database. Now we are loading the java script app diagram from those db values. But you mentioned that in the java script, the default measure unit is millimetre. So, I like to try the millimeter measure unit in our java script app. May I know how to convert the below values which is in WpfPoint into Millimeter?

* X, Y coordinates of the diagram nodes
* Height, Width of the diagram nodes
* Control Points of the diagram links

Also, I've one more clarification. Since we have used WpfPoint in SL, better to use same WpfPoint in java script app also. Is SL WpfPoint and JS WpfPoint same right?

Regards,
Kannan

Hi,

I tried by changing different grid router values. By setting the below values, seems the link better,

* GridSize - 6
* NodeVicinityCost - 18
* NodeVicinitySize - 24

- Screen shot 1 shows the initial diagram

- Screen shot 2 shows after setting the above optimum grid router values. In this the link between the nodes 1, 2, 3 seems better. Link between nodes 4 and 5 is better but the link drawn above the node-5. Also, the link between nodes 6 and 7 is not good.

- Screen shot 3: Also I tried by moving Node-1 so that the link between node 1 and 2 is straight line. But the orange colored selection handle position changed in node-1. It is not over the anchor.

May I know how to solve these issues? Do you suggest any better combination of grid router values or any other approach? Thank you!

I've uploaded the sample app: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rbOnRKwVKVEx8ud_Cv7KP4yLSDxGhBth/view?usp=shari

Kannan

GridRouter runs a cost minimization function and it's a matter of finding balance between length and node vicinity costs. If you set too large vicinity values and keep length values smaller, it might prefer the longer route (your above node-5 example). 22 / 22 seems to work for your units and node spacing as in attached screenshot.

I can't reproduce link detaching from anchor point, make sure you haven't dragged link's end accidentally.

Slavcho
