MindFusion.ASP.NET Pack R1.2013 has just been released. We have added styles and themes to the Diagramming tool, interactive resize of items in the scheduling control, numerous UI components and more. Here are the details:<\/p>\n

Styles and themes<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can modify now the appearance of a diagram through styles. Each style is a collection of properties, which can be applied to a given diagram item or to all items of a given type.<\/p>\n

A Theme<\/a> is a collection of styles. Each style in the theme is associated with the diagram items of a specific type and affects all items of this type. Themes can be saved and loaded to \/ from XML files. You can create custom themes using the Theme Editor tool.<\/p>\n

Node effects<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nodes support two visual effects – a GlassEffect<\/a> and an AeroEffect.<\/a> To apply an effect, you should create an instance of the respective class, set its properties and add the instance to the Effects<\/a> collection of the node. Effects can be added, removed or modified at any time and this will reflect immediately on the diagram.<\/p>\n

One-way graph layout<\/strong><\/p>\n

The OneWayLayout<\/a> class ensures that links enter into nodes from the same general direction and exit them from the opposite side. If the graph contains cycles, some links bend around the nodes to keep the enter\/exit direction consistent. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of such links.<\/p>\n

Multiple labels per link<\/strong><\/p>\n

The LinkLabel<\/a> class lets you display multiple captions for a single DiagramLink<\/a> object. Link labels have a variety of properties for full customization of their display and positioning.<\/p>\n

Layers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Diagram items can be assigned now in layers and layers can be hidden, locked, moved up\/down in the Z-order as a group. Use the LayerIndex<\/a> property of items to associate them with a given layer in the Diagram.Layers<\/a> collection.<\/p>\n

\"Traffic<\/a>

Parallel layouts<\/strong><\/p>\n

The .NET 4 version of NetDiagram takes advantage of the Task Parallel Library (TPL) to enable parallelism on the different layout algorithms. Set the EnableParallelism<\/a> property on the Layout<\/a> class to true to enable arranging different subgraphs on different threads to possibly improve performance on multiprocessor systems.<\/p>\n

Magnifier tool<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new magnifier tool allows users to interactively zoom in (or out) portions of the diagram by holding down a modifier key or pressing a mouse button. The magnifier’s zoom factor and appearance can be customized.<\/p>\n
