Guest Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 9:21 am    Post subject: Diagram component Hi, I'm looking for a diagram component, free or commercial, for preferrably D5 but D2005 could do as well. The component is needed for displaying charts where each shape has 0 or more inputs and outputs that can be connected with arrows. So any basic flow chart component would do, except that the number of connection points for each box has to be configurable. Custom painting for these points is also needed, so that they could be labeled etc. Zooming, panning, dragging etc too. Any ideas?

I am not sure this is what it is called in the technical jargon, so I might as well describe it.

Landgraf Guest Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 1:32 pm    Post subject: Re: Diagram component Diagram Studio does not provide automatic repositioning of objects in current version. It's something we're considering to add in the future, but it's not related to diagram "kernel". I mean, you could easily write your own positioning algorithm and apply it to diagram, it's a matter of getting the current block position, calculating, and setting the position again. But I agree that it would be interesting if there would be a ready-to-use feature. -- Kind Regards, Wagner R. Landgraf Automa Consultoria & Informática Ltda.

Well one more thing: it says on the web page something about collapsing/expanding nodes. Does this mean that that several blocks can be grouped together, and then collapsed to show just one block? For example, in an organization diagram, if there was a department with 10 employees = 10 blocks, it could be toggled to show either one or all 10 blocks? If so I think we have a winner. M.

Landgraf Guest Posted: Mon Dec 19, 2005 10:03 pm    Post subject: Re: Diagram component Hello M., close to that. Collapsable nodes means that you can organize the blocks in a tree structure. For example, you can have a block named "department", and you can have 10 blocks *connected* to it, each block containing the name of one employee. There is a linkpoint in department block where all employee blocks are connected to. If you turn that link point into a collapsable node, then by clicking that linkpoint you hide/show all employee blocks connected to the department block. The small difference from what you said is that there is not a "major" block which groups smaller blocks, but instead you have a block connected to others. Although you could position the other blocks "inside" the major block of course, but it's the connection which defines which block will be showed/hidden. -- Kind Regards, Wagner R.
