Features & Benefits
- Native WPF control
Use Windows Presentation Foundation visual effects such as styling, composition and animation to incorporate WPF Star Diagrams into visually compelling user experiences. WPF Star Diagrams also support WPF data binding.
- Legendary support
We offer fantastic support to all customers - resolving most queries in under 24 hours and regularly adding features and enhancements to our nightly builds for everyone to enjoy.
- Fully interactive mode
Allow users to add, edit and delete elements of their star diagrams. Drag and drop elements from the toolbox, or add custom handling. If interactivity is not required, read-only mode makes the star diagram static.
- Beautiful layouts
WPF Star Diagrams ships with several layout systems - force directed, tree and random (useful for testing!). This saves developers time in creating beautifully laid out diagrams but, as with most features, this is fully pluggable to allow developers to use custom layout code if desired.
- Fully customisable
Nearly all points of the WPF Star Diagram support extensibility - add new element types, custom connectors, custom path finding, custom background grids, custom image export - everything is at your disposal if you need it.
- Multiple zoom capabilities
Support for zooming in different ways - application specified zoom, mouse wheel zooming, mouse wheel + ctrl zooming or size to fit the viewport zoom.
- Built in serialization and deserialization
Saving and loading diagrams is easy with the StarDiagramXmlSerializer - save out to xml, or load from xml.
- Export to PNG, JPEG or BMP
Simple one line export of diagrams to PNG, JPEG or BMP formats. Additional formats can be plugged in easily as needed.
- Printing
Simple printing capabilities allow users to quickly print the star diagram. Printing uses XPS format (WPF FixedDocument) so it's also easy to add print preview and other such features.
- Simple, royalty-free redistribution
You can freely redistribute the WPF Star Diagram control with your application – no need for runtime licenses. The grid ships as a two DLL files and supports xcopy installation – no special installation steps are required.
