You can apply now styles to change the appearance of the diagram items. Each style is a set
\nof properties, which can be applied to a given diagram item (with the DiagramItem.Style
\nproperty) or to all items of a specific type (by using a Theme). The theme is a collection of
\nstyles. Each style in the theme sets the appearance of all items of a specific type. Themes
\ncan be loaded from XML files.<\/p>\n

\nthe opposite side. If the graph contains cycles some links bend around the nodes to keep the
\nenter\/exit direction consistent. The algorithm aims to minimize the number of such links.<\/p>\n<\/a>\n

\nThe LinkLabels class allows multiple captions to be displayed for a single DiagramLink instance.
\nLink labels provide a set of properties that allow full customization of their location and
\nappearance. Labels support automatic arrangement to avoid overlapping nodes or other
\nlabels.<\/p>\n

\nItems can be assigned to layers and layers can be hidden, locked or moved up\/down in the
\nZ-order or as a group. Use the LayerIndex property to associate and item with a layer in the
\nDiagram.Layers collection. Each layer has Visible, Locked and ZIndex properties, which affect
\nall items in the layer.<\/p>\n
\nThe .NET 4 version of Diagramming for ASP.NET takes advantage of the Task Parallel Library
\nto enable parallelism on the different layout algorithms. Set the EnableParallelism property of
\nthe Layout class to true to enable arranging different sub graphs on different threads to
\nimprove performance on multiprocessor systems.<\/p>\n

\nThe new magnifier tool allows user to interactively zoom in or zoom out portions of the
\ndiagram by holding down a magnifier tree or pressing a mouse button. The magnifier’s
\nappearance and zoom factor can be customized.<\/p>\n<\/a>
\nA variety of changes have been made to the API of the control to keep it elegant and simple – please consult the “What’s new section”<\/a> in the online documentation.<\/p>\n
