Have a look at the main highlights below and the full changelog here.
We're very excited about this new plugin that allows you to not only import Microsoft Visio VSDX files to JointJS+ but also export them back. It opens up a lot of possibilities for anyone dealing with Visio files. Moreover, our import/export Visio plugin makes it possible to define your own mappings for conversion. For example, you might have your own Visio master shapes but want them to be imported to JointJS+ to your own custom shapes. By defining your conversion mapping, you have a full control over the conversion of individual shapes, including custom properties.
To help you quick-start with the JointJS+ Visio plugin, we prepared tutorials and 4 demo applications (conversion of Visio VSDX BPMN diagrams to JointJS+ diagrams, conversion from JointJS+ BPMN diagrams to Visio BPMN VSDX, conversion of Microsoft Visio Cross-Functional FlowChart VSDX file to a JointJS+ diagram and conversion of Organizational Chart VSDX file to a JointJS+ diagram).
If you're working with BPMN, you'll be delighted by the new full set of BPMN 2 shapes that are now part of JointJS+. All shapes can be further customized if needed.
A new demo application showing how you can build applications for displaying and editing Planograms (visual representations of a store's products or services on display) with JointJS+.
A new smart type of a node highlighter that automatically draws a stroke with an equidistant padding along the node and its descendants. This really improves the quality of complex shapes highlighting to the top level. It's clear when you look at the pictures.
Integration with the Eclipse Layout Kernel (ELK) advanced layout algorithm is now seamless and we have an open-source demo that gives you a quick start. This layout algorithm is especially useful for diagrams with lots of ports and gives great results with positioning of nodes and routing of links:
Do you need to provide an additional hierarchical structure in your diagrams with collapse/expand buttons? Look at our demo that shows you how can do that with JointJS+:
Another new demo that shows you how to provide a seamless drag&drop functionality in your tree-like diagrams:
The paper object now provides an option to make labels snap on their links, even on curved lines:
We hope you'll get the most from these new features, fixes and updates. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with questions or comments.
Happy diagramming!
