I need help with the node shape I have provided in the image. If this type of node can be drawn in your control , then can you please provide me with the code of the chart drawn in diagram control with the help of node (as per layout shown in attached png file) (include three or four nodes for the example).
I have tried to use it in custom shape but I didn't get any success.
I am using ui for WPF ( version latest ).
If you can help me out with this problem (as I have failed by other tool providers) then i might think of purchasing your product license soon.

Hello Parth,
The desired visualization is not available out of the box, but you can manually create it and add it in the Content of the RadDiagram's shapes. I have attached a small sample showing a basic setup that mimics the visualization from your picture. I hope that helps.
Note that in the project I use hard-coded values for the different settings and draw the ellipses programmatically. You can choose another approach to do that. You can also expose DependencyProperties in the ShapeContentView control in order to allow customizing the parameters used in the example.

Hi Martin,
I was able to draw the normal shape which you're providing me but I am not able to understand how to form a layout / visualization around the ellipses as shown in the .png file.
If you can help me with that it would be great help from your side.

Parth
Hey Parth, I am not sure that I understand the requirement here. The attached project was showing how to draw the ellipses around the shape. Can you tell me why this doesn't work for you?
If you don't want the ellipses to be part of the shape's bounds, you can wrap them in a Canvas panel. I have updated my project to show this.

Hi Martin,
I need your help with binding the shapes which are generated dynamically through list or datatable without setting the position so how can i do that?
If you have dynamic number of shapes coming from a data source, you can consider using the GraphSource of RadDiagram. You can read more about this approach in the MVVM article.
Or alternatively, you can generate the shapes in code-behind. You can see this in the attached project.
About the "without setting the position" part of your question, can you please tell me what exactly do you mean by that? If you don't explicitly set the Position property of the shapes they will be positioned at the top left corner of the diagram (0, 0). This said, if your datatable doesn't have position information for the shapes, you can come up with this in the code-behind by using some algorithm that works for you. Or you can try one of the automatic layouts of RadDiagram.
