Multiple diagrams in one panel

[Marc]

Is is possible to have multiple diagrams (tree structures) in the same drawing panel? If so is there an example of how this would be done?

Hello Marc,

I am not sure if I understand correctly the question but multiple tree structures will be shown if you have multiple roots(example). If this is not what you are trying to achieve then please provide more detailed information.

yes, I meant multiple roots, thanks for your reply, that helped me.

One other question. Is there a simple way to optimize the layout for printing on a typical page size (8.5 x 11, 11 x 17, etc)?

Hello again,

Could you clarify what you mean by "printing"? Generally speaking in the case of multiple layout components you can somewhat control the resulting size via the layout.grid.width option and the distances between the elements for the specific layout but there is no way to ensure certain size in all cases without scaling the elements.

I meant logic that would maintain the basic tree layout, but rearrange the outlying elements to dimensionally fit on a page. Sorry I don't know a better way to describe it, but this is what our users do manually in visio and we are trying to simulate it programmatically.

One more question. Is there way to clean up the connectors in the tipover layout, so they are outside of the rectangle elements. See attached.

Hi,

There isn't a layout option that could be used for this purpose. I can suggest either to use the bringIntoView method or the shapes position method to rearrange the outlying shapes after the layout is completed. 

As for the tipover connections issue - which version are you using? This should happen automatically with the latest versions as can be seen in this demo.
