Diagramming Made Easy
Telerik Diagram for Windows Forms helps you create rich and interactive diagrams with ease. The control enables you to:
- Design work-flows in which case shapes and connections are tightly bound to an underlying API
- Simulate processes and represent data logic
- Architect data-visualization and data analysis diagramming structures
- Further enhance and customize your geographic maps solutions
-
Data Binding
RadDiagram supports data binding, so you can store data the way you choose, in a database or collection. -
Shapes, Container Shapes and Connections
The control features fully customizable shape items, customizable connections with variety of predefined connection caps, and shape containers that can hold a group of shapes and connections and move them together.
-
Rotate and Resize the Shapes
Manipulate the items through the UI or by using the proper APIs. You can easily rotate, resize, select or change the order of items.
-
Shapes and Connections Editing
Switch between Edit and Normal mode for both shapes and connections.
-
Selection and Grouping
The control features single, multiple and extended multiple selection modes, as well as logical grouping of shapes and connections.
-
SettingsPane
This diagramming component provides you with a ready-to-use view that contains the most common features and settings of a single item (shape or connection).
-
Toolbox
The RadDiagram toolbox provides a rich set of predefined shapes users can drag onto RadDiagram.
-
Organizational Diagrams
Easily customize RadDiagram to display different types of organizational charts and hierarchies.
-
Variety of Layouts and Connection Routing
Layout in RadDiagram refers to the way shapes and connections are arranged on the diagramming surface. This component provides a dozen of built-in layout algorithms, which you can easily customize. In addition, the connection routing mechanism uses algorithms to ensure the connections don't cross each other while building links/paths between the shapes.
-
Rich Commands and Events Model
Various routed commands and events are exposed to enable handling a diagram-related action in advance (tunneling events) or afterward (bubbling events). The extended API enables you to create custom shapes, connections and diagrams. -
Ribbon UI
RadDiagramRibbonBar is wired up to the most-used RadDiagram API, and enables further extensibility.
-
Various Diagram Tools
RadDiagram offers a variety of tools to make development easier. Use the mouse tools for selecting and creating connections, or for panning the viewport. The TextTool enables you to dynamically create TextShapes to label your structures, and the information adorner displays additional information about the dragged item.
-
Cut/Copy/Paste/Delete/Undo/Redo
Easily cut/copy and paste shapes and connections inside a diagram, between diagrams or even between diagram applications. Undo/Redo works for every operation, and an extensible API is available.
-
Save/Load Layout
Easily save/load a diagram to an external storage-like disk or isolated storage, to enable your applications to preserve user settings and restore them later. Using this functionality, users can store different layout settings for the control and switch between them, when needed. -
Pan and Zoom
Manipulate the viewport by dragging (pan) and zooming operations, both from the UI or through the API.
-
Printing Options
Print a diagram on multiple pages and export to a desired image format.
-
Background Grid
RadDiagram features fully customizable background grid and snapping adorners, enabling you to move items around easily and with precision.
-
Localization Support
Business globalization requires multi-lingual applications. RadDiagram supports full localization of its strings. See Localization and Right-to-Left Support for the full list of Telerik UI for WinForms controls supporting RTL and localization. -
Extensive VS.NET Design-Time Support
RadApplicationMenu provides rich design-time support, making customizations and configurations very easy. Some key capabilities include:
- Adding and removing items from the control using only the Visual Studio designer
- Exposing links to open item types collections in the Smart Tag, for populating with new items or modifying existing ones
- Applying themes in design time and easily switching between them; the ThemeName property in the Smart tag automatically detects the present themes
- Visual Style Builder, Element Hierarchy Editor and Shape Editor productivity tools for full control over the UI
- Options to search the forums or open online documentation in the Smart Tag
