Diagramming for Java Swing, V4.1.1

Posted on by

MindFusion has released a new version of its Diagramming component for Java. It contains a few new features as well improvements of existing ones. Here are details:

Improved arrowhead rendering

  • arrowheads are rendered as a single path when possible and several arrowhead Shape definitions have been changed to implement mitered joints when HeadPen is set to a thick pen.
  • the point where end segments connect to arrowheads can be specified via the Shape.LinkSegmentInset property. Shape definitions from the ArrowHeads class set it to suitable default value. This allows using transparent or semi-transparent brushes without seeing the link line drawn behind arrowheads.
  • arrowhead shadows are no longer filled if the link’s EffectiveBrush is null or fully transparent.
  • IntermediateShape is now also rendered for Bezier links.

  • Multiple-resize of rotated nodes fixed to apply same offsets in nodes’ local coordinate system.
  • Fixed a bug where setting the CaptionBackBrush property of containers would hide the caption-bar borders.
  • Java 8 update 20 fix from this patch now included in released version.
