Hi,

We are evaulating Nevron Diagram for Winform for our current project. So far we found that it covers majority of our requirements. But we have few questions. PFB.

1. How to create custom Libraries?

2. Can we insert images into the nevron diagram?

3. Does it support import visio stencil into library?

4. Does it support vector graphics?

5. Does it have container controls?

We appreciate your support. Thanks in advance

Hi Ravali,

First of all - thank you for evaluating the Nevron Diagram for .NET library!

Regarding your questions:

1. How to create custom Libraries?
Custom libraries can be visually created with the help of the Diagram Designer application that comes along with the evaluation package. Follow these steps:

a. Click on the New Library toolbar button to create a new library
b. Create a shape in the drawing view
c. Drag and drop the shape from the drawing view in the library
d. Repeat steps b and c for all custom shapes
e. Save the newly created library to an .nlx file

The custom library can be loaded from code and masters in the library can be instanced on demand.

2. Can we insert images into the nevron diagram?

Yes - you can assign an NImageFillStyle to the Style.FillStyle of each shape. This means that images can be displayed not only by rectangles, but by ellipses, polygons etc. (basically by all closed primitives).
Take a look at this topic in the Users Guide:
Framework > Presentation Layer > Graphics > Appearance Styles > Fill Styles > Image Fill Style

3. Does it support import visio stencil into library?
No

4. Does it support vector graphics?
Yes - the diagram is essentially modelled as a vector scene.

5. Does it have container controls?
Yes - you can create groups can host any type of other shapes including other groups. There are special winform control host shapes. Expand/collapse containers are created with the help of decorators and decorators can be applied to any shape.

Hope this helps - questions or comments - please feel free...
