Add Nodes Above Root

[Konstantinos]

Hi all

I used to have a tree structure format where everything was related to the root in a specific direction.

An example:

E.g. Having a company and see its shareholders and shareholder of shareholders etc.

 

Now I want to add further elements above the root, to show from which elements it is derived.

E.g. See in which other companies, my company is shareholder of

 

I tried setting TreeLayoutType as MindmapVertical, but it is not what I expected.

As I presume I cannot point the position (up/below root) the elements will be drawn.

It just semi-randomly selects which will be drawn where from the whole list of child elements.

 

Another idea I had was to read the whole list of child elements and make the furthest one the root.

Then I will go down rows till I reach the actual root.
Then traverse the tree downwards like I would do previously.
I haven't tried it, but I would suppose eventually the alignment of the tree would be totally wrong.

 

In general, has anyone ideas on how I can achieve the wanted functionality using Telerik?

The diagram I am trying to create should be similar to this

End-result should be more complex however, as a board director could have it's own set of board directors on top of him

Hi Konstantinos,

To achieve the desired result, you will need to create a custom layout for the RadDiagram. You can have a look at the Layout demo available in our SDK Samples Browser, the source code of which is also available in our GitHub repository.

As such custom implementations, however, go out of the scope of our support services, I can recommend reaching out to our Professional Services team if you require further guidance. If I can, however, assist you with anything else that does fall within our scope, please let me know.
