The Fishbone or Ishikawa diagram is a powerful tool for cause-and-effect analysis. While users can build them manually using a diagram editor, it’s often more efficient to generate them programmatically from a predefined data set. This article walks through the process of creating a complete fishbone diagram from scratch using JavaScript and the MindFusion.Diagramming API.
In this blog post we will build a simple scheduler with several timelines. We are using MindFusion Scheduling library for WinForms and Visual Studio with .NET6.0
I. Project Setup and General Settings
We create a new empty WinForms project in Visual Studio. We choose .NET6.0. Then we open the Form Editor. From the Visual Studio top menu bar we click “Project -> Manage NuGet Packages…”. In the Browse tab we search for “MindFusion.Scheduling”. You can install either the Scheduling package or the whole MindFusion.Pack.Winforms, if you plan to use more MindFusion controls.
