yFiles for HTML

Changelog

This fourth bugfix release for yFiles for HTML 3.0 corrects some errors. Also, there are several improvements for the demos. There are no incompatible changes.

Bug fixes

Interaction

• CanvasComponent.pointer-long-rest events are no longer repeatedly raised during auto-scroll at the canvas bounds. Only CanvasComponent.pointer-drag events are now triggered during this gesture.
• If the CreateEdgeInputMode.allowCreateBend property is false, a long rest of the pointer no longer cancels edge creation.
• The IPortCandidateProvider.fromPortDefaults method no longer returns a malfunctioning IPortCandidateProvider implementation that caused TypeErrors.
• The detection logic for trackpad and mouse wheel events has been expanded again and now correctly recognizes even more devices that report events with unusual movement values.

Hierarchical Layout

• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer creates avoidable crossings between edges with the same target node in fromSketchMode.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer unnecessarily enlarges group nodes in the case when no group node padding is defined, i.e. no data registered with the LayoutKeys.GROUP_NODE_PADDING_DATA_KEY property.
• The value of the HierarchicalLayout.stopDuration property is no longer ignored during the execution of some ILayerAssigner or ICoordinateAssigner implementations that have their own specific stopDuration. The HierarchicalLayout class will now always consider the shortest applicable duration.

Tree Layout

• The TreeLayout now correctly handles the specified compactSubtreePlacerStrategyMementos (STRATEGY_MEMENTO_DATA_KEY) for nodes associated with a CompactSubtreePlacer. Previously, the algorithm incorrectly overwrote the value for the leaves.

Circular Layout

• The CircularLayout class no longer throws an exception with certain graph structure constellations when the betweenCirclesRoutingStyle property is set to curved.

Noteworthy demo improvements

• The new Supply Chain Demo visualizes a bakery supply chain in France. The graph’s nodes represent individual facilities and list the items produced at that location, including the current stock. The edges between products describe product flows. Interact with the diagram to highlight the dependencies between products and see how changes in inventory at one location affect dependent locations.
• We have simplified the code of many smaller demos by reducing the setup code and other boilerplate code. The code for these demos can now be used unchanged in the revised yFiles Playground, for example, to simplify sharing with colleagues or the yFiles support team. In this release, most demos in the “Layout” category have been updated, and more demos will be migrated in future releases.
• The CSS Styling Demo received a fresh visual look, demonstrating how to target different graph elements using a pre-defined color palette in CSS.
• The demo directories now contain package-lock.json files as an additional safety measure against npm supply chain attacks.
• The timeline component used in the Fraud Detection Demo and the Timeline Demo now properly reacts to touch events.
• Many more improvements and corrections in other demos.

This third bugfix release for yFiles for HTML 3.0 corrects some errors.There are no incompatible changes.

Bug Fixes

Components

• The GraphComponent now is more careful when removing DOM elements from item styles that are no longer needed. This prevents errors if the element has already been removed otherwise, e.g., by frameworks such as React or Angular.

Styles

• The selection, highlighting and focus visualization of edges using BridgeEdgeStyle or ArcEdgeStyle no longer disappears too early if the edge path is only partially in the viewport.
• MarkupLabelStyle now trims trailing whitespace on each line, improving horizontal alignment.
• MarkupLabelStyle now provides improved support for text wrapping in nested markup tags.

WebGL

• The position of WebGL labels is now always updated after interactive gestures.
• WebGLIconLabelStyle now correctly renders transparent icons, which previously appeared greyed out.
• WebGLImageNodeStyle and WebGLIconLabelStyle no longer exhibit image border glitches during rendering.
• With WebGL rendering, the alignment of single-line labels now more closely resembles that of SVG, and letters are no longer cut off at the edge.

Interaction

• Sporadic errors during pinch zoom have been corrected.
• Toggling the selection of an item using the keyboard now always toggles the selection of the focused item. Previously, if exactly one other item was selected when toggling, that item was deselected, making it virtually impossible to select multiple individual items using the keyboard.
  To fix this, the behavior of Command.TOGGLE_ITEM_SELECTION has been adjusted accordingly, and the behavior the Command.SELECT_ITEM and Command.DESELECT_ITEM has also been changed accordingly.
• NavigationInputMode now reliably brings items selected with keyboard navigation into the view. Previously this only worked for nodes.
• The default selection visualization for stripe labels is now actually rendered.
• Adding a key binding to KeyboardInputMode for a shortcut that also triggers a browser action now properly prevents the execution of the browser action.
• Pinch-zoom gestures on touchpads are now reliably recognized, even if they alternate with touch or pen inputs.
• In a GraphComponent with a projection, rotated label text edit boxes are now placed at the correct location.

GraphML

• The GraphML parser now correctly reads arrays with empty strings.

View-Layout-Bridge

• When called multiple times, the LayoutExecutorAsyncWorker.initializeWebWorker method will now clean up event listeners from previous runs before registering a new one.
• The IGraph.applyLayout method now correctly considers its portPlacementPolicy argument.
• The LayoutExecutor and LayoutGraphAdapter classes now correctly assign port group IDs to edges that connect to the same port. Previously, in some cases involving ports with a single incoming and outgoing edge, the port group IDs were omitted, which could cause incorrect layout results (such as diagonal segments instead of orthogonal ones).

Layout

• For the LayoutData classes, setting a property of type ItemMapping with a native JavaScript map now works correctly in all cases. Previously, such an ItemMapping property did not return the correct default value for diagram elements whose value was not explicitly set unless the default happened to be null.
• The CurveFittingStage now correctly respects the maximum error. Previously, it sometimes produced curves that violated the maximum error.
• The LineSegment.getIntersection method no longer produces incorrect results when the specified epsilon is zero. Previously, there were some edge cases where the algorithm failed to detect an intersection and returned null instead.

Hierarchical Layout

• The HierarchicalLayout algorithm now correctly handles node and edge labels with width or height set to negative values. Previously, large negative values may have caused exceptions.

Labeling

• The GenericLabeling algorithm now correctly considers the case where model parameters of a CompositeLabelModel have different weight values. Higher weights are preferred.

Partial Layout

• PartialLayoutScopeData will no longer mark any edges as affected when only nodes are specified to be in scope, nor mark any nodes as affected when only edges are specified to be in scope.

Algorithms

• The Intersections class does not dispose FilteredGraphWrapper instances that it is given with no subgraph nodes or edges specified anymore. Previously, this caused the graph instance to become defunct, resulting in various operations running into null fields and properties, generating exceptions that were non-trivial to understand.
• IntersectionsResult no longer includes intersections that have no actual intersection points. This issue occurred when two graph elements were within a small epsilon distance of each other.

Geometry

• The GeneralPath.pathMayIntersectClip method has been corrected for paths with multiple segments, at least one of which is a cubic segment.

General

• Corrected broken links in the documentation comments of the TypeScript types. In particular, there are no longer broken links to primitive types, Object and Array.

Noteworthy Demo Improvements

• We have significantly improved the Process Mining demo. The demo now shows a more realistic example, and it is possible to pause at any time to examine the details of individual processes more closely.

This second bugfix release for yFiles for HTML 3.0 corrects some errors. We have added a few new API members that are required to use existing API meaningfully, but there are no incompatible changes.

Bug Fixes

Components and Styles

• Setting null to the GraphComponent.inputMode property now works as expected. Previously, a new instance of GraphViewerInputMode was created and returned by this property if null was set.
• In more cases, the text now wraps as it did in version 2.6 and as you would naturally expect. In the previous version, text wrapping could be incorrect, especially for texts that contained consecutive spaces, leading and trailing spaces or long words.
• In multiline labels, the distance between the first and second line is no longer larger than all other distances.
• The WebGL image style no longer unnecessarily generates the associated SVG image data if it is not required for rendering. This led to a noticeable delay in some user actions, e.g., when using the marquee selection in large diagrams for the first time.
• The Size.area property now returns 0 for empty sizes. This is consistent with the behavior of the Rect.area property.

Interaction

• During text editing, the first mouse click outside the text editor is no longer ignored.
• In certain rare cases, the insertion of edges could end up in an endless loop. This has now been fixed.

Hierarchical Layout

• Instances of LayerConstraintData and SequenceConstraintData that are configured with comparables can now be reused for multiple layout calculations.
• The HierarchicalLayout class now always places aligned ports correctly in from-sketch mode.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer assigns superfluous space to group nodes if there are grouped edges.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces an error when using a non-zero grid distance in combination with incremental mode's exact coordinate hints.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces an error for labeled graphs with port alignment constraints when the integrated edge label placement is enabled.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces superfluous crossings between backloops or same-layer edges in the first or last layer.

Labeling

• The EdgeLabelCandidates.buildCandidates method does no longer return null for some setups with free edge label models. Instead, it returns an empty IEnumerable now.
• The GenericLabeling class now produces less node-label overlaps.

Other Layouts

• The TreeLayout class no longer ignores the initial locations for some subtree placers if the fromSketchMode property is enabled.
• The OrthogonalLayout class no longer throws an error for many input graphs when the fromSketchMode property is enabled.
• The new TabularLayoutData.layoutGridCellDescriptorsResult property makes it easy to query the cell to which a node was assigned to by the TabularLayout class after applying it.
• The layout algorithms do no longer throw an Exception when a LayoutGrid including a mapping from nodes to layoutGridCellDescriptors is defined and if algorithm TabularLayout was executed before with a layoutMode of either AUTO_SIZE or FROM_SKETCH. In these modes the TabularLayout automatically assigns cells to nodes so that any mapping defined prior will be ignored now.
• The new protected ParallelEdgeRouter.hideMultiEdges method is required to meaningfully overwrite the existing protected ParallelEdgeRouter.findAndHideMultiEdges method.

Noteworthy demo changes

• During user interaction, the browser on the Meta Quest VR headset sends unusual pointer events of type mouse alongside regular pointer events. These additional events confuse the yFiles's input event handling. Therefore, the demos now detect and ignore such events on this browser.

This 1st bugfix release for yFiles for HTML 3.0 corrects some errors, and includes two small improvements. There are no incompatible API changes.

Improvements

• The ShadowNodeStyleDecorator class now wraps the decorated style in an additional SVGGElement that applies the SVG filter instead of tainting the wrapped style's filter attribute.
• The MoveViewportInputMode.priority value has been lowered to 105 to make viewport panning with CTRL or SPACE modifiers easier in dense graphs.

Bug Fixes

Layout

• Serializing a large graph with LayoutExecutorAsync to calculate a layout in a web worker no longer takes an extremely long time.
• Executing a layout with the GraphComponent.applyLayoutAnimated and IGraph.applyLayout methods now behaves in exactly the same way as configuring the LayoutExecutor with the same setting. Previously, there were subtle differences that could lead to different behavior.
• The Tree, Orthogonal, Organic, and Series-parallel layout now automatically places edge labels of the parallel edges handled by their ParallelEdgeRouter instance, when integrated edge labeling is enabled.
• The EdgeRouter now prefers to use fixed port candidates that are not overlapped by other nodes.
• The OrganicLayout class no longer ignores the preferred edge length in incremental layout mode with a single affected element.
• The TreeLayout class no longer produces broken edge routes for some input graphs with multi-parent structures.
• The numerical value of LayoutAnchoringPolicy.NONE has been changed from 7 to 0 to avoid errors in certain cases.

Styles

• The intersection calculation for RectangleNodeStyle has been corrected for some previously failing edge cases that resulted in edges ending in midair or disappearing.
• The LabelStyle class no longer renders single-line labels if the label height is too small.
• The TextRenderSupport.addText method no longer displays single-line text if the maximum height is too small.
• ArrowEdgeStyle no longer triggers an error when WebGL rendering is used.
• With ShadowNodeStyleDecorator, the nodes are no longer occasionally invisible.
• Resolved access errors in StyleIndicatorRenderers like NodeStyleIndicatorRenderer when the item or owner no longer exists.

Component and Interaction

• The trackpad and mouse wheel detection logic did not properly work on macOS and on various non-default browser zoom levels. The configuration and logic have been improved and should now yield more consistent results across browsers, OSs, browser zoom settings, most drivers and hardware. For edge cases and future inconsistencies, a configuration setting has been made available in Workarounds.
• Several members of EditLabelInputMode could not be overwritten by mistake. The install, uninstall, tryStop, and cancel methods and the enabled property can now be overwritten.
• Elements in the GraphComponent DOM no longer have class attributes that contain the name null.

Notable Demo Improvements

• With the TemplateStyles of the Template Styles Demo, changing the cssClass property while the style is already in use now has an effect, since changes to this property are now detected by the updateVisual method.

This version brings a major overhaul of many parts of the API, resulting in a lot of incompatible changes. We have designed many functions to be simpler, more intuitive and more consistent and removed technical debt. In addition, this release contains numerous new features, improvements, and bug fixes to all parts of the library.

General

New Features and Improvements

• The yFiles class system now follows the conventions of the ECMAScript standard even more closely. As a result, some special classes and constructs have become superfluous, e.g., the YObject, YNumber, YBoolean, and YString types and the $class member.
• The event listener API for yFiles events is now similar to JavaScript's EventTarget. Each event sender now has a single addEventListener and removeEventListener method that gets the event name as the first parameter and an optional options object as the last one. The second parameter is the event listener function that gets two parameters: a specific EventArgs object and the sender instance. The options support automatic event deregistration via the AbortController API and single (once) event invocation with automatic deregistration.
• Option objects in arguments of constructors and other methods now also work for nested properties. Previously, only the direct properties of the class could be defined.
• It is now possible to explicitly pass undefined to optional parameters matching the behavior of ECMAScript and TypeScript.
• yFiles for HTML 3.0 uses a new license format (license version "1.2"). Existing licenses with license version "1.1" remain compatible.
• The yFiles npm package is now named @yfiles/yfiles. This makes it easier to serve yFiles from a local registry by associating the @yfiles scope with it.
• The lookup API has been restructured. In particular, the LookupDecorator class is now easier to use, but most use cases are covered without having to access the low-level lookup architecture.
• The library now prevents problems with strict CSP settings, as we now set CSS styles with the HTMLElement.style property instead of the style attribute.

Graph

New Features and Improvements

• The new IGraph.getEdgesBetween method returns all edges between two ports or port owners.
• CompositeLabelModel now cannot only combine label models but also individual label model parameters or a mix of both kinds. Furthermore, it supports assigning a profit value to a parameter or model that can be used when placing labels during an automatic layout.
• The new CompositeLabelModel.addParameter method wraps a given parameter of one of the composed label models.
• The methods of IGraph now check consistently whether given geometric arguments are neither infinite nor NaN.
• The rotation direction of OrientedRectangle, LayoutNodeLabel, LayoutEdgeLabel and FreeEdgeLabelModel is now clockwise to be consistent with the other models.
• The default placement for new edge labels is now on the middle of the edge path instead of on the first edge segment.
• The label models ExteriorLabelModel, InteriorLabelModel, and InteriorStretchLabelModel have been renamed to ExteriorNodeLabelModel, InteriorNodeLabelModel, and StretchNodeLabelModel, respectively, to make it clear that only nodes are supported as label owner for these models.
• The implementations of ILabelModelParameter and IPortLocationModelParameter used by the public ILabelModel and IPortLocationModel classes are now public and provide all properties necessary to recreate them on the models. Consequently, the static deserializeParameter and serializeParameter methods of the ILabelModelParameter and IPortLocationModelParameter classes, which could be used to retrieve those properties and recreate the parameter, have been removed.
• The ILabelModel parameter of the ILabelModelParameterFinder.findBestParameter and ILabelModelParameterProvider.getParameters methods has been removed as it was only very rarely required.
• The GraphCopier API has been enhanced to offer improved clarity and functionality.
  • The GraphCopier has been optimized since its support for the GraphClipboard has been removed.
  • The GraphCopier.copy method now uses an IEnumerable of items to define the subset to copy.
• The SimpleNode, SimpleEdge, SimpleBend, SimpleLabel, and SimplePort classes now provide a convenience LookupDecorator instance through the GetDecorator method.
• The ILabelModel.createDefaultParameter method and most of its implementations have been removed as it was often unclear what “default” meant. Most label models already had a corresponding Create*Parameter method. For the remaining models, the GroupNodeLabelModel.createTabParameter method and the FreeNodeLabelModel.CENTER and FreePortLabelModel.CENTER fields have been added.
• The structural properties on graph items now are never null. This affects IEdge.sourcePort, IEdge.targetPort, ILabel.owner, IPort.owner, and IBend.owner.
• The IGraph.groupNodes method now has optional parameters that specify the style and tag of the newly created group.
• The static parameter fields of FreeNodePortLocationModel have been renamed analogue to the static parameter fields in InteriorNodeLabelModel.
• FilteredGraphWrapper now supports changing the node and edge predicates after creation.
• The property-changed event on the UndoEngine class is now also emitted if the token is changed.
• The new static ITable.getTable method returns the ITable instance of a node if there is one.
• The types of IModelItem.tag properties are now easier to customize. See the "Augmenting the tag property" section in the Developer's Guide for more details.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed EdgeSegmentLabelModel and SmartEdgeLabelModel label placement at source and target nodes when using indices less than 0 or greater than the number of bends in the edge.
• The EdgeSegmentLabelModel class now calculates valid label locations for selfloop paths with one port at the side of the node.
• The EdgeSegmentLabelModel class now calculates valid label locations for paths with duplicate bends, i.e., paths in which two or more consecutive bends have the same location.
• GraphClipboard's parentNodeDetection now can use ParentNodeDetectionModes.NONE as fallback if no valid parent is found for modes ParentNodeDetectionModes.SELECTION or ParentNodeDetectionModes.PREVIOUS_PARENT.

Components

New Features and Improvements

• ViewportLimiter now also works with isometric projections and offers options to use the CanvasComponent.contentBounds for the limiting. It now offers the possibility to specify margins in the view coordinate system around the specified bounds, and bounds can be given as a list of convex polygon points. CanvasComponent now also notifies the viewport limiter when the size of the contentBounds or the size of the CanvasComponent changes.
• Added a pointer-cancel event to the CanvasComponent.
• The SvgExport.exportSvgAsync method now supports an optional render completion callback that can be used to await asynchronous rendering.
• Theming is now specified with CSS variables, such that the look and feel of a GraphComponent can now be customized with a few lines of CSS.
  • The available values for the --yfiles-theme-variant variable are round and square with solid strokes, and the new square-round and square-hatched with a hatched stroke.
  • It's now possible to specify an offset for resize handles and the selection indicator rectangle via theming. Setting an offset can prevent such handles from overlapping ports.
  • Consequently, the Theme class has been removed.
• The scrollbars of a CanvasComponent are now easier to style since we improved their CSS rules. For example, the scrollbar size is now determined by the CSS variables --yfiles-scrollbar-size, --yfiles-scrollbar-horizontal-size, and --yfiles-scrollbar-vertical-size.
• GraphComponent now uses GraphViewerInputMode as the default inputMode for basic graph exploration.
• The ICanvasContext.canvasComponent property (and consequently IRenderContext and IInputModeContext) is now guaranteed to have a non-null value.
• All predefined EventRecognizer constants can now be found in the same class, EventRecognizers, which improves discoverability. In addition, their names now follow the platform conventions, i.e. they are formulated in the present tense and use the same wording as corresponding input events.
  Similarly, the events on CanvasComponent which are related to input devices now have the same consistent names.
• The CanvasComponent.contentRect property is now named contentBounds to make its purpose clearer. The updateContentRect method has been renamed likewise.
• The superfluous CanvasComponent.setContentRect method has been removed in favor of the setter of the contentBounds property.
• It is now possible to have more than one BridgeManager. This allows you to have different types of bridges on different types of edges.
• The DOM focus state of the CanvasComponent moved from the container element to an inner child of the CanvasComponent. This makes it easier to listen to DOM events in HTML elements that are part of the render tree, e.g. in an HtmlVisual or an overlay panel.
• CanvasComponent constructor now accepts HTMLElement as hosting element instead of HTMLDivElement. This allows initialization of the CanvasComponent in semantic elements and custom elements.
• The CanvasComponent.focus method now has an optional parameter that takes an options object with a preventScroll property, similar to the HTMLElement.focus method. This replaces the CanvasComponent.preventFocusScrolling property.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a sequential animation would break when the preferred duration was set to zero.

New Demos

• New Viewport Limiter demo shows the improved behavior of the ViewportLimiter class.
• The new timeline demo shows how to implement a timeline component for graphs that change over time.

Rendering

New Features and Improvements

• The new ObjectRendererBase class allows conveniently implementing the IObjectRenderer interface.
• New classes formalize the data passed as RenderTag to implementations of IObjectRenderer.
  • The new PortCandidateRenderTag class will be passed as render tag for port candidates.
  • The new MarqueeRenderTag class will be passed as render tag for the marquee rectangle renderer of the MarqueeSelectionInputMode class.
  • The new LassoPathFinishRegionRenderTag class will be passed as render tag for the finish region renderer of the LassoSelectionInputMode class. The new LassoPathState enum defines the current state of the lasso selection path in this class.
  • The new LabelCandidateRenderTag class will be passed as render tag to the label candidate renderer of the LabelPositionHandler.
• The new IObjectRenderer.VOID_OBJECT_RENDERER constant provides a singleton renderer that renders nothing.

Selection, Focus, Highlight

New Features and Improvements

• The new domain property on the HighlightIndicatorManager class matches the domain property on the SelectionIndicatorManager class and allows automatic removal of highlights no longer present in the domain.
• FocusIndicatorManager supports a new policy that will only show the keyboard focus indicator, when the user is actually using the keyboard to manipulate the focus.

Styles

New Features and Improvements

• New styles that are based on the composition design pattern make it easier to combine existing styles into a single item visualization. These styles are available for all graph items via the CompositeNodeStyle, CompositeEdgeStyle, CompositeLabelStyle, and CompositePortStyle classes.
• Similarly, new styles that are based on the delegation design pattern make it easier to implement custom styles that extend an existing style. For this, derive your style implementation from the DelegatingNodeStyle, DelegatingEdgeStyle, DelegatingLabelStyle, or DelegatingPortStyle class.
• The new ShapePortStyle class displays ports as geometric shapes and supports the same shapes as the ShapeNodeStyle class.
• The Arrow class now supports more types and features. In particular:
  • There are three new shapes that are similar to what is available in common drawing apps: ArrowType.CHEVRON, ArrowType.DELTOID, and ArrowType.KITE.
  • The width and height can now be scaled independently from each other.
  • An arrow can now specify whether the end of the edge the arrow belongs to should be cropped at the port or at the boundary of the port's owner. This alleviates the need to use PortDecorator.edgePathCropper for this.
• The new PathEdgeStyleBase class simplifies using a complex GeneralPath as the edge path of a style. Subclasses only have to create the path while the style already handles the visualization, including placing arrows and bridges. Several callback methods can be overridden to customize the behavior.
• The ShapeNodeStyle class now supports more shapes, namely PENTAGON, OCTAGON_STANDING, TRIANGLE_POINTING_LEFT, and TRIANGLE_POINTING_RIGHT. These shapes are also available as TextWrappingShape.
• Node shapes that are stars or arbitrary polygons are now easy to implement with new factory methods of the GeneralPathNodeStyle class.
• The WebGLShapeNodeStyle and WebGLImageNodeStyle classes, and the WebGL selection visualization now support triangle shapes pointing down, left, and right as well as a diamond shape.
• The ImageNodeStyle and IconLabelStyle classes can now have a background visual. The shape of this background can be one of the values of ShapeNodeShape.
• The new CssFill class is a fill that supports CSS color values.
• TextWrapping supports four new policies for trimming the text without wrapping the line: TRIM_CHARACTER, TRIM_CHARACTER_ELLIPSIS, TRIM_WORD, and TRIM_WORD_ELLIPSIS. The existing policies that allow wrapping lines have been renamed to properly distinguish them from the new ones. In addition, the clipping-only policy previously enabled with the DefaultLabelStyle.clipText and MarkupLabelStyle.clipText properties is now available with the TextWrapping.CLIP value, and the default wrapping policy of these styles is now TextWrapping.WRAP_WORD_ELLIPSIS.
• Group nodes and nodes with GroupNodeStyle now have more useful default port candidates. Either four candidates, one in each cardinal direction, for group nodes with GroupNodeStyle. Or a single central port for folder nodes with a GroupNodeStyle.
• The CollapsibleNodeStyleDecorator class positions and styles the button now closer to what GroupNodeStyle does to achieve a more modern look.
• The new getLassoTestable method of the interfaces INodeStyleRenderer, IEdgeStyleRenderer, ILabelStyleRenderer, and IPortStyleRenderer is similar to the existing getMarqueeTestable method, so marquee and lasso selection do no longer differ in the ways the testable is retrieved.
• The IconLabelStyle now has a default icon size of 24x24 instead of empty, such that the icon is always visible.
• ShapeNodeStyle now considers the pen thickness when rendering rectangle, round rectangle and ellipse shapes, i.e. the pen is rendered half inside and half outside the node bounds, like for the other shapes.
• The fill conversion now prioritizes the new CssFill class for input strings.
• The Color class is now a fill and can therefore be used wherever the SolidColorFill class was previously used. The latter has therefore been removed.
• CollapsibleNodeStyleDecorator has new methods for creating a custom button visualization.
• The default line spacing has been reduced to 0.2 to better match the platform defaults.

Bug Fixes

• The following node styles now consider the pen thickness in the visibility test: ShapeNodeStyle, ArrowNodeStyle, GeneralPathNodeStyle, GroupNodeStyle, and RectangleNodeStyle.
• For IconLabelStyle the width and height of the rendered icon are no longer swapped.
• When the label text is rendered using the TextRenderSupport.addText method and wrapping is word-ellipsis or character-ellipsis, an ellipsis character is now always added when necessary.
• The TextRenderSupport.addText method now uses the correct line spacing when a shape is specified.
• Resolved an issue where resize handles were not updating when group nodes were expanded or collapsed.
• Nodes rendered with ArrowNodeStyle that are filled with a gradient do not rotate the fill along with the arrow, anymore.

New Demos

• The new Shape Port Style demo shows this new style.
• The new Arrow demo shows the new visualization options for arrows.
• The new General Path Node Style demo shows how to create stars, polygons, and other shapes with this style.

WebGL

New Features and Improvements

• The new WebGLArrowType.CROP_AT_PORT enum value enables cropping similar to the new IArrow.cropAtPort property.
• The WebGLLabelStyle and WebGLIconLabelStyle classes now support different paddings per direction.
• The automatic conversion of LabelStyle to WebGLLabelStyle now considers the minimum LabelStyle.padding (if uniform padding is not set) to prevent text misplacement or disappearance.
• WebGL styles can now be set directly via the IGraph.
• Decorator styles for WebGL and SVG rendering simplify style handling on rendering type switch.
• Automatic conversion for WebGL styles in SVG rendering mode.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where instantiating animations via WebGLGraphModelManager.createBeaconAnimation (and all other animation creating functions) would throw an exception when the timing parameter was not provided.
• WebGLLabelStyle now avoids unnecessary text wrapping for labels with large padding when there is sufficient space to place the text.
• Bend handles are now always displayed correctly when rendering with WebGL.
• Ports are now correctly positioned when they lie slightly outside the node.

Interaction

New Features and Improvements

• Marquee and lasso selection have been enhanced to support multiple selection policies. While the default gestures replaces the selection, pressing the Ctrl , Shift , or Alt modifier during the gestures extends, subtracts or toggles the current selection with the elements in the marquee or lasse area.
• The IHitTester interface has been changed to support faster hit testing. The generic type has been removed. Instead, a GraphItemTypes parameter has been added that is used to reduce hit tests to the specified item types.
• The new pointer-long-press event is available for all pointer input types and replaces the previous touch-specific long press API.
• The new pointer-long-rest event is raised when the pointer stays still for a configurable amount of time during a move or drag gesture.
• All events of an IInputMode which report creation of, changes to, or deletion of model items now have arguments of type InputModeItemEventArgs or InputModeItemChangedEventArgs. This type provides the affected item and the IInputModeContext for the involved input mode.
• The keys to modify the gestures of various input modes have been adjusted to better match those of other often used applications:
  • To temporarily disable snapping during edge creation, moving, or resizing items, the Alt key can now be pressed instead of the Ctrl key.
  • When resizing a node using its reshape handles, the Ctrl key instead of the Alt key can be pressed to keep the center of the reshaped node.
  • To reparent a node to another parent during a drag gesture, the Ctrl key has to be pressed instead of the Shift key.
• Moving items interactively now supports constraining the move gesture to an octilinear direction. This constraint is used when pressing the Shift key while dragging the items.
• The new GraphEditorInputMode.creationSelectableItems property allows you to specify GraphItemTypes which should be selected after creation.
• The new CreateEdgeInputMode.edge-direction-reversed event and the new CreateEdgeInputMode.onEdgeDirectionReversed method are triggered when the direction of the edge creation changed during edge creation.
• The new HandleType.VOID enum value makes a handle invisible and excludes it from hit testing.
• Reconnecting edges to other nodes is now allowed per default.
• Elements can now be moved without selecting them first.
• The new CreateEdgeInputMode.minimumSelfLoopBendCount property allows for specifying the number of bends an edge must at least have before it can be created as selfloop.
• The new CreateEdgeInputMode.showStartPortCandidateDelay property allows for specifying a delay after which start port candidates are displayed when the user hovers over a start port candidate owner.
• The new GraphEditorInputMode.movableUnselectedItems property allows for defining items which can be moved without selecting them first. The movableUnselectedItemsPredicate property can be used for closer specification.
• Edge creation now supports constraining the current edge segment to use an octilinear direction. This constraint is used when pressing the Shift key while dragging the pointer.
• The new GraphEditorInputMode.setNodeLocation method uses the IPositionHandler of a node to change its location, and this way also adjusts the attached orthogonal edges and the position of child nodes if the given node is a group node.
• The CanvasComponent's event system is now based on the PointerEvent API instead of mouse and touch events. This enables to support stylus devices and allows for handling different input devices in a more uniform way.
• The MoveInputMode class now also handles moving labels, thus the MoveLabelInputMode has been removed.
• The event items-copied on GraphViewerInputMode and the events items-copied, items-cut, items-pasted, items-duplicated, and deleted-selection on GraphEditorInputMode now use ItemsEventArgs providing the items that are the subjects of the events.
• When editing label text, users can now enter newlines with Shift+Enter in addition to Ctrl+Enter / Command+Enter.
• The CanvasComponent now listens to native PointerEvents to handle mouse, touch, and stylus input.
• The new ctrlKey, shiftKey, altKey, and metaKey boolean properties of PointerEventArgs and ClickEventArgs specify which modify keys were pressed during the event.
• The order of the two parameters of the EventRecognizer function has been reversed: The event is now the first one, and the rarely used sender the last one.
• A fully customizable context menu is now included. You have complete control over the menu elements and can customize all UI elements to your liking. Of course, it's also still possible to use the context menu of your favorite UI framework. In addition, the API of the ContextMenuInputMode has been improved and its event handling was simplified.
• The rendering order of visuals created by an inputMode now corresponds to the input mode's priority. In other words, visualizations of input modes with a smaller priority value (= higher priority) are drawn on top.
• The GraphInputMode.findItems method now considers the actual z-order of the hit items.
• The GraphInputMode.item-clicked event and the cyclic selection now consider the actual z-order of the hit items at the cursor location. Bends and invisible ports are now properly taken into account and hit before their owners.
• MoveViewportInputMode now gracefully handles concurrent programmatic viewport modifications.
• The modifier for using the ILabelModelParameterFinder during label movement can now be changed with the LabelPositionHandler.useParameterFinderRecognizer property.
• The ClickInputMode.clicked event is now raised also for double-clicks and multi-clicks. Clicking multiple times in the same location increments the ClickEventArgs.clickCount by one for each click.
• The MoveInputMode and moveUnselectedInputMode properties of GraphEditorInputMode have been renamed to moveSelectedItemsInputMode and moveUnselectedItemsInputMode to better describe what they are used for. Associated properties and methods have been renamed accordingly.
• Starting edge-creation from a child node inside a group node now does not immediately snap to the parent when moving over the group nodes content. Instead, it only snaps to the closest port when hovering the tab or stroke.
• Toggling the item selection via Ctrl+Space now prefers toggling the selection state of GraphComponent.currentItem over deselecting a single selected item.
• The IInputMode API has been updated for clarity: the inputMode property has been removed from the interface. Instead, most implementations now offer the protected parentInputModeContext property to clearly indicate its role as the input mode's parent context. Most input modes can create a context which can be passed to dependents via the protected createInputModeContext method. The created context has the input mode set as the parent input mode. The new InputModeContext class may be used by implementations to conveniently create new contexts.
• When using the GraphViewerInputMode, the viewport can now be moved by either dragging with the left or middle mouse button.
• When using the GraphEditorInputMode, the viewport can now be moved by either dragging with the middle mouse button or by dragging with the left mouse button when pressing the Ctrl or Space key.
• The new Command.ZOOM_TO_SELECTION zooms to the bounding box around all selected items. It can be triggered by the keyboard short cut Alt+2.
• Edge creation can now be cancelled by ending the gesture over the source node.
• Edge creation is canceled if the GraphComponent loses the focus.
• GraphViewerInputMode's and GraphEditorInputMode's clickHitTestOrder now reflects the z-Order of the elements. By enabling skipHitLabels (the default) elements behind labels can still be prioritized over the labels.
• Several default keyboard shortcuts have been adjusted to more widely used ones:
  • Ctrl+0 or Alt+0 sets the zoom to 100%.
  • Alt+1 fits the content in the view.
  • Alt+2 brings the selection into the view.
  • Alt+3 brings the current item into the view.
  • Ctrl+Plus increases the zoom value.
  • Ctrl+Minus decreases the zoom value.
  • Alt+Left collapses a selected group node.
  • Alt+Right expands a selected folder node.
  • Alt+Up exits the current folder node.
  • Alt+Down enters the current folder node.
  • Alt+Shift+Left or Alt+Shift+Right toggles the expansion state of a selected group or folder node.
• GraphEditorInputMode now allows for starting label editing just by starting to type. The allowEditLabelOnTyping property can be used to configure this setting, which is turned on, by default.
• The default gesture for label editing has been updated to also trigger when the user hits the `Enter` key.
• The HandleTypes enums has been refactored to a non-flaggable HandleType enum, and the values have been adjusted to those used in the library as well as some custom variants for individual use.
• Custom IHandle implementations can use the new IHandle.tag property for various purposes, including custom handle visualizations. yFiles does not use the property and initializes it with null, but decorating handles forwards any values unmodified.
• OverviewInputMode now uses the CanvasComponent's mouseWheelZoomEventRecognizer to determine if the used performed a zoom gesture.
• Dragging a selected edge doesn't move all its bends anymore which often screwed up the first and last edge segment.
• If a Wheel event is handled by code, the default behavior (zoom/scroll) will be cancelled.
• Command handling has been improved: The previous ICommand, inspired by WPF's commands, has been replaced with an enumeration of primary input gestures called Command. GraphComponent now manages the execution of commands:
  • GraphComponent.executeCommand runs the specified command with an optional parameter.
  • GraphComponent.canExecuteCommand indicates whether the specified command can be executed.
  • The CanExecuteCommandChanged event is triggered when the executable state of a command has changed.
• The MouseHoverInputMode has been renamed to ToolTipInputMode to better reflect its function.
• The handleIsHit and getClosestHitHandle methods of HandleInputMode now have an additional parameter which specifies the PointerType of the related user gesture.
• The GraphEditorInputMode.orthogonalEdgeEditingContext property is now set and enabled per default and may not be null anymore. Edges can be individually configured to be edited orthogonally by providing an apropriate IOrthogonalEdgeHelper in their lookup.
  • For edges using a PolylineEdgeStyle, the style's new orthogonalEditing property can be set so such a helper is automatically provided.
  • To disable orthogonal editing for all edges, the enabled property of the OrthogonalEdgeEditingContext can be set to false.
  • To enable orthogonal edge editing for all edges that don't explicitly forbid this, the OrthogonalEdgeEditingContext.fallbackEdgeHelperProvider property can be set to a helper supporting orthogonal edge editing.
• NavigationInputMode now interprets the direction of arrow keys in view coordinates by default. Previously the default settings could lead to surprising behavior when combined with a projection on GraphComponent.
• Improved keyboard navigation for graph items.
• The protected Should- methods of the input modes have been removed and replaced by predicate properties. This simplifies adjusting the behavior without the need to subclass the input modes.
• LabelDropInputMode now consults the IEditLabelHelper of possible drop targets when dragging and dropping labels.
• New overloads of the CreateEdgeInputMode.startEdgeCreation method can be used to start interactive edge creation from a node or port, respectively.
• The parent node detection of GraphClipboard has been streamlined.
• The new GraphViewerInputMode.hitTester property works in the same way as the GraphEditorInputMode.hitTester property.
• The GraphEditorInputMode.duplicateSelection method now also dispatches multi-selection-started and multi-selection-finished events.
• The items reported by the HandleInputMode.affectedItems property now include edges that were modified with the height handle of BezierEdgeStyle and ArcEdgeStyle.
• The static member GraphClipboard.DEFAULT_GRAPH_CLIPBOARD has been added and is used per default as GraphComponent.clipboard. This way copy&paste operations work between multiple GraphComponent instances without the need to set a shared GraphClipboard instance first.
• The sub-input modes of GraphViewerInputMode and GraphEditorInputMode can now be replaced while the input mode is installed.
• It is now possible to declare different sets of keyboard shortcuts as well as localizations for string constants depending on the language the user has enabled in their user agent.
• The Cursor constructor now allows the specification of the hot-spot.
• Cursors for resize handles now show double-headed arrows on all devices.
• NodeDropInputMode, LabelDropInputMode, StripeDropInputMode, and PortDropInputMode now provide a static DEFAULT_TRANSFER_TYPE property which represents the transfer type to which the respective input mode is configured by default.
• Setting the tooltip content or custom components as tooltips has been streamlined.

Bug Fixes

• GraphInputMode.findItems method: when the filter includes both edges and bends, the edge will no longer be ignored if any of its bends are hit.
• GraphInputMode.findItems method: when using GraphItemTypes.ALL, bends will not be ignored. Furthermore, the interfaces IBendSelectionTester and IPortSelectionTester are properly queried.
• GraphInputMode.findItems method: Ports with a style are no longer reported twice.
• When moving the viewport in a GraphComponent that has a projection, the inertia now works in the right direction.
• Fixed that the onMarqueeSelect and onLassoSelect methods of GraphEditorInputMode and GraphViewerInputMode were called with a wrong input mode context.
• Fixed occasionally missing auto-scrolling on viewport bounds for touch devices.
• The GraphInputMode.findItems overload without the context parameter did not find items correctly.
• Fixed an issue where keyboard navigation would stop working when two items were positioned at the same location.
• Offset rectangle handles were hard to hit with a custom theme scale and now properly consider theme scaling and custom offsets.
• Fixed label edit boxes having no width/height if editing started outside of the viewport.

New Demos

• the new Mouse Wheel Customization demo shows how to customize and enhance the default mouse wheel behavior.

Label Editing

New Features and Improvements

• The API related to label editing has been enhanced by introducing a new EditLabelInputMode, which is now a subordinate mode of GraphEditorInputMode. The new input mode consolidates the methods, properties, and events necessary for customizing label editing. The key methods, AddLabel and EditLabel, remain accessible through GraphEditorInputMode.
• The text editor will now stay open by default if label text validation fails.
• Each ILabel and ILabelOwner now includes a default implementation of IEditLabelHelper in its Lookup. The IEditLabelHelper interface has been updated to offer greater control over the label editing process.
• The API related to label editing has been removed from TableEditorInputMode, except for the key methods AddLabel and EditLabel. Label editing is now handled through GraphEditorInputMode's EditLabelInputMode.
• The label text editor element now takes the on-screen keyboard into account when it scrolls into the visible part of the view, so that it is actually always visible.

Snapping

New Features and Improvements

• The snapping feature has been refactored and enhanced to support more use cases. Previously, items could only snap to points or orthogonal lines. Now lines with any orientation and circle segments can be defined as references where items can snap to. Furthermore:
• Snapping to circles, grids, and specific node sizes has been refactored to work analogue to the snapping to a SnapLine, so SnapCircle, SnapGrid, and SnapSize instances are created and are available for the SnapResult providers.
• Label snapping is now also handled by the GraphSnapContext, so the LabelSnapContext has been removed. Configuration options have been moved from LabelSnapContext to GraphSnapContext.
• Additional improvements:
  • The new GraphSnapContext.affectedItems property provides the items for which SnapResult shall be collected.
  • The configuration options of GraphSnapContext are now easier to use and more concise.
  • The new protected methods collectGridSnapReferences and collectSameSizeSnapReferences of GraphSnapContext can be overridden to customize the SnapGrid and SnapSize instances items can snap to.
  • The new SnapReference class is now the base class of SnapLine, and the new SnapGrid, SnapSize, and SnapCircle classes. The new SnapReference.snappableItems property describes which item types may snap to this reference.
  • Snap references of all types can be styled with CSS classes.
  • The new OrthogonalSnapLine.croppable property is used to decide which snap lines to crop if GraphSnapContext.cropSnapLines is true.
  • The new properties reference, item, and itemAnchor of the SnapResult class can be used by the IObjectRenderer for the visualization of the SnapResult.
  • New methods of ReshapeRectangleContext simplify the calculation of the bounds for a specified pointer delta or the SnapConstraint necessary to result in a specified width, height or side location.

Clipboard

New Features and Improvements

• Members of GraphClipboard and GraphEditorInputMode with element in their name that actually referred to model items were renamed to item to clarify their usage.
• The GraphClipboard.paste method now accepts an optional pasteLocation parameter specifying the center of the bounds of the pasted items.
• The events on GraphClipboard now use GraphClipboardEventArgs that provide the current IGraphClipboardContext and the items.
• IClipboardHelper now has methods to support Duplicate, too: shouldDuplicate and onDuplicated.
• GraphClipboard's Cut, Copy, Paste, and Duplicate methods now use an IEnumerable to determine the subgraph to copy.
• GraphClipboard now uses an optimized ClipboardGraphCopier for its clipboard operations instead of the general GraphCopier.

Folding

New Features and Improvements

• The process of configuring edges at folder nodes has been simplified, resulting in a significant reduction in the number of configuration calls for merged edges.
• The default implementation for folder nodes and folding edge converters has been enhanced, providing more powerful capabilities for synchronizing and initializing various aspects with granularity.
• Collapsed group nodes (folder nodes) can now have different tags from their expanded form (group nodes).
• Changes made to view states (folder nodes, folding edges) can now be reflected back to the master items. New methods, updateGroupNodeState and updateMasterEdges, have been added to IFolderNodeConverter and IFoldingEdgeConverter, respectively, for handling these updates.

Bug Fixes

• Setting the source or target port of an edge to a port at another edge does no longer lead to an exception if the edge is represented in a managed view (IFoldingView). Instead, the edge is now removed from the view.
• Fixed a bug which could cause an edge in a folding view to be created at different ports as those which were given as parameters. This could lead to unexpected connections during interactive edge creation in rare cases.
• Fixed a bug that could lead to an exception when duplicating a port on the GraphClipboard if it is duplicated.
• Fixed a bug which caused changing the ports on an edge whose source or target node is collapsed being reverted after subsequent collapsing and expanding.
• Label changes on folder nodes are no longer reverted by FolderNodeConverter if labels are copied between master and view node.

View-Layout-Bridge

New Features and Improvements

• LayoutExecutor can now automatically create port constraints for edges at ports that use a CompositePortLocationModel. For all parameters added to a CompositePortLocationModel, a fixed port candidate is created. The cost, capacity, and CompositePortLocationModelPortSide of this candidate can be specified when adding the parameter to the model.
• The new LayoutExecutorAsync.createWebWorkerMessageHandler and LayoutExecutorAsyncWorker.initializeWebWorker methods simplify the default setup for layouts running in a web worker.
• The LayoutExecutor.tableLayoutConfigurator feature now uses more flexible placements for nodes that don't belong to any table node.

Bug Fixes

• Exceptions thrown by IGraph.applyLayout are now properly re-thrown (instead of causing an unhandled promise rejection) and can be caught by a catch block.

Layout

New Features and Improvements

• LayoutPortCandidates now have a matchingId. When finding matching LayoutPortCandidates at nodes and for edges, two LayoutPortCandidates can only match if their matchingId properties are equal.
• The LayoutAnchoringStage class (previously called FixNodeLayoutStage) now allows using not only nodes but also edges and labels to anchor the graph's position.
  • The new nodeAnchoringPolicies, edgeAnchoringPolicies, nodeLabelAnchoringPolicies and edgeLabelAnchoringPolicies properties specify which part of the items should be used to calculate the anchor point.
  • The new LayoutExecutor.anchoredItems property specifies the graph items used to anchor the graph's position.
• The ComponentLayout has now the ability to specify which layout to apply to individual components using ComponentLayoutData.componentLayouts property. Additionally, edges between components can be routed using a router set via ComponentLayout.interEdgeRouter.
• It is now possible to specify multiple layout grids for a graph (previously called PartitionGrid). This is made possible by the new LayoutGridCellDescriptor.layoutGrid property. This way it is no more required to set the global layout grid with the LayoutGridData.grid property. If a node is to be placed in a grid but not in a specific cell, this can now be achieved using the new LayoutGrid.createDynamicCellDescriptor method. Be aware that many layout algorithms like HierarchicalLayout don't support multiple layout grids.
• The LayoutData classes are now generic and can be used for items of a LayoutGraph, too. Of course, it's still possible to use LayoutData with IGraph items.
  • LayoutData instances when used with IGraph typically need INode, IEdge, ILabel, and ILabel as their type arguments.
  • LayoutData instances when used with LayoutGraph typically need Node, Edge, LayoutNodeLabel, and LayoutEdgeLabel as their type arguments.
  • Instances of LayoutData classes can be created via factory extension methods on the layout algorithm themselves, for example, HierarchicalLayout.createLayoutData. Depending on the type of graph that is provided as the argument, the correct data instance will be created.
• The API around the LayoutGraph class has received a major rework. The LayoutGraph is the only remaining graph implementation for the layout analysis part. Classes Graph (previously used for graph analysis, only) and CopiedLayoutGraph have been removed and functionality was moved to LayoutGraph.
  • The API has been made more similar to the API of the IGraph with respect to creation, modification and access to nodes, edges and labels.
  • Low-level data types like NodeList and EdgeList have been removed as well as cursor for iteration over the elements.
  • Properties nodeCount and edgeCount have been removed. Query the size of the nodes and edges properties instead.
  • Layout information about items must no longer be queried from the graph instance (e.g. previously with methods like LayoutGraph.getLayout). It is now accessible on the items itself and is also mutable, see LayoutNode.layout property.
  • The edge path information is no defined by properties on the edge, most importantly these are sourcePortLocation, targetPortLocation and bends.
  • Labels of nodes and edges are now accessed via a property on the respective owning item. To add labels, use LayoutGraph.addLabel method. The complicated ILabelLayoutFactory that covered that use case in the past has been removed.
  • Hiding items is no longer possible via the graph itself. To do so, use the helper LayoutGraphHider class.
  • The Graph.containsEdge method has been removed in favor of LayoutGraph.getEdgesBetween. The same holds for the Node.getEdgeTo and Node.getEdgeFrom methods.
  • Convenience properties like Node.neighbors have been removed. Instead, query all edges (using the Edges property) and filter the required adjacent nodes manually.
  • To copy a LayoutGraph instance, the new LayoutGraph.createCopy method has been added.
  • If a LayoutGraph without coordinate/path information is needed (to optimize memory performance), it can be created using the factory LayoutGraph.createStructureGraph method.
• The new LayoutGraph.getEdgesBetween method returns all edges between two nodes.
• The PortPlacementStage now computes cost-minimal matchings between port candidates at nodes and edges.
• Most layouts now support port grouping and port candidates at nodes and edges. These features are implemented through a post-processing step using the PortPlacementStage, rather than being natively integrated into the layouts. As a result, the quality may be poor.

Bug Fixes

• The PortPlacementStage now correctly considers port candidates together with port groups.

Hierarchical Layout

New Features and Improvements

• The HierarchicalLayout class now supports defining minimum distances between the ports. They can be specified per node side using the HierarchicalLayoutNodeDescriptor.minimumPortDistance property. The node size is increased if necessary in order to accommodate the minimum distances.
• The Hierarchical Layout class now supports aligning the ports of edges incident to the same node, that is, the ports are placed at the same x- or y-coordinate. This can be particularly useful to visualize paths in a graph. Which ports to align is specified by the new properties PortData.sourcePortAlignmentIds and PortData.targetPortAlignmentIds accessible via HierarchicalLayoutData.ports.
• The HierarchicalLayout now produces fewer bends for multi-edges with labels when integrated edge labeling is enabled.
• The HierarchicalLayout class now produces better results for graphs with tabular groups where all children have a fixed user-specified order.
• The routes of self-loops now consider both node and edge labels preventing overlaps if possible.
• The ports of edges with free ports are no longer placed at the same location as fixed ports, which previously could happen if multiple edges had the same fixed port.
• The HierarchicalLayout no longer produces overlapping edge segments if there are grouped edges with different thicknesses values. Previously, the user had to ensure that all these edges use the same thickness.
• In barycenter mode the HierarchicalLayout now enforces a more symmetric placement of the nodes that are part of chains or height-2 trees.

Bug Fixes

• The HierarchicalLayout now properly handles self-loop edges when the edge is at a group node and furthermore edge/port grouped with the same ID on both sides. Previously, it was not routed correctly or that it was removed from the LayoutGraph instance when running the layout algorithm directly on the graph instance without using a copy.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer swaps the position of fixed nodes in incremental layout mode with user-specified sequence constraints.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces superfluous crossings for some graphs with group nodes in incremental layout mode.
• Edges between two subcomponents now correctly consider fixed any-side port candidates.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces very long edge segments for some input graphs containing groups with node halos and polyline edge routing.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer throws an exception for graphs with bus structures if the algorithm runs in incremental mode and the group transposition feature is enabled.
• The HierarchicalLayout class no longer produces intertwined edge routes with many superfluous crossings and bends for some cases with sequence constraints PlaceAtHead or PlaceAtTail. The problem mainly occurred with graphs with groups or PartitionGrid and incompatible sequence constraints.

New Demos

• There is a new demo showing how to implement sourcePortAlignment and targetPortAlignment in hierarchical layout.
• There is a new demo showing how to use the HierarchicalLayoutData.incrementalNodes property to incrementally lay out the newly loaded nodes in a nested graph.

Tree Layout

New Features and Improvements

• Added the new TreeLayout.fromSketchMode property to consider the initial coordinates of the graph elements. This has an effect only if the used subtree placers implement IFromSketchSubtreePlacer.
• Added the TreeLayoutData.multiParentDescriptors property that allows to specify style information for multi-parent structures.
• The TreeReductionStageData class now offers nonTreeEdgesResult property. It allows to conveniently query the set of edges that the stage actually selected as non-tree edges.
• The TreeLayout now considers minimum last segment lengths no matter on which side the port shall be placed.
• The LeftRightSubtreePlacer now supports minimum segment length, which can be set with the properties minimumFirstSegmentLength and minimumLastSegmentLength.
• All subtree placers that used RootNodeAlignment support placing the subtree root centered above the ports with the new value CENTER_OF_PORTS.
• The SingleLayerSubtreePlacer supports placing the subtree root centered with respect to the ports at its children with the new enum value SingleLayerSubtreePlacerRootAlignment.CENTER_OF_PORTS.
• The AspectRatioSubtreePlacer now supports minimum first and last segment lengths.
• The AspectRatioSubtreePlacer now supports multiple variants how to place the root node with respect to its children, which can be set using the properties childArrangement and rootPlacement.
• Added properties of TreeReductionStageData directly to the LayoutData of tree layouts, including RadialLayoutData, AspectRatioTreeLayoutData, RadialTreeLayoutData, and TreeLayoutData.

Bug Fixes

• The AspectRatioSubtreePlacer class no longer ignores the specified AspectRatioSubtreePlacer.childAlignmentPolicy for some specific setups (e.g., if all children are leaves and have the same size).

Orthogonal Layout

New Features and Improvements

• The newly added OrthogonalLayout.qualityTimeRatio property allows controlling the layout quality by automatically enabling/disabling additional optimization steps.
• The OrthogonalLayout algorithm now supports specifying edges that should be routed against the main layout orientation in addition to the option to route with the main layout orientation. See OrthogonalLayoutData.edgeOrientation property.

Edge Router

New Features and Improvements

• The quality of edge routing for buses is improved.
• If EdgeRouter is run with the buses feature and a limited duration, it now splits the available time amongst buses, meaning that it will not get "stuck" on a single bus, which could otherwise impact the quality of the remaining buses and non-bus edge routings.

Bug Fixes

• The EdgeRouter class no longer produces uncovered buses. Previously, there were some rare cases where the specified bus edges didn't constitute a bus.
• When routing edges to and from fixed ports in the interior of group nodes, other nodes in the group are not ignored anymore, so that the edge does not overlap them if possible.

Organic Layout

New Features and Improvements

• The performance for the OrganicLayout has been substantially improved for large graphs without group nodes. The improvement is triggered if no special constraints are defined and no shape recognition is enabled.
• The OrganicLayout now supports different styles for group substructures, which are set via the GroupSubstructureStyle property.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that may have automatically disabled the component layout when using constraint-based features.

Interactive Organic Layout

Demo Improvements

• The Interactive Organic Layout demo now shows how to run the InteractiveOrganicLayout in a web worker thread.

Radial Tree Layout

New Features and Improvements

• Added data key OUT_EDGE_COMPARATOR_DATA_KEY to RadialTreeLayout class (formerly BalloonLayout).

Partial Layout

New Features and Improvements

• PartialLayout now supports specifying inversely directed edges in addition to undirected and directed edges.

Component Layout

New Features and Improvements

• ComponentLayout now supports nodeMargins (formerly nodeHalos) for each ComponentArrangementStyle other than NONE and KEEP_CENTERS.

Algorithms

New Features and Improvements

• The LongestPath algorithm now uses double values instead of integers for edge traversal costs. This improves the Paths, LayoutGraphAlgorithms, and LongestPath classes.
• The LayoutGraphAlgorithms.findCycleEdges method has been improved and now requires fewer edges to be reversed. In addition, a new, even better but slower heuristic can be enabled with a new optional parameter.

Analysis

New Features and Improvements

• The KShortestPaths class has a new implementation of the k-shortest path algorithm that allows for the exclusion of non-simple paths (i.e., paths with repeating vertices). Previously, these paths could not be excluded. The new implementation is used by default and can be disabled with the simplePaths parameter.
• For usage with a LayoutGraph, the algorithm is also available via the LayoutGraphAlgorithms.kShortestPaths method.

Collections

New Features and Improvements

• The IEnumerable.ofType method now supports primitive types as element types.
• The IEnumerable.filter method now has two new overloads with type guards.

Geometry

New Features and Improvements

• The new GeneralPath.areaOrPathContains method tests if the path fuzzily contains a point and can be used for hit-testing a GeneralPath.
• All methods on the GeneralPath class now consistently accept IPoint instead of Point and IRectangle instead of Rect.
• There are now methods on Rect and Point to calculate the distance between points and rectangles.
• The GeneralPath.getProjection method is now faster for paths with Bezier segments.
• The IRectangle interface no longer implements IPoint. As a consequence, it is no longer possible to inadvertently use rectangles as parameters for methods that expect a point. You can still easily get the top-left corner of a rectangle with its topLeft method. Similarly, IMutableRectangle no longer implements IMutablePoint.

  • In CreateEdgeInputMode, dummyEdge, dummyEdgeGraph, dummyTargetNode,, dummyTargetNodePort, updateDummyEdgeSourcePort, updateDummyEdgeTargetPort, getDummyEdgeSnapLines, and createDummyBend have been renamed to previewEdge, previewGraph, previewEndNode, previewEndNodePort, updatePreviewEdgeStartPort, updatePreviewEdgeEndPort, getPreviewEdgeSnapLines, and createPreviewBend.
  • The Visualization.DUMMY enum value has been renamed to Visualization.PLACEHOLDER.
  • In PortRelocationHandle, createDummyEdge has been renamed to createPreviewEdge.
• The event deleted-selection of GraphEditorInputMode now uses ItemsEventArgs instead of SelectionEventArgs.
• Renamed GraphInputMode.shouldSelectItem to shouldSelect.

• The LassoTestables.ALWAYS and SINGLE singletons have been moved to the ILassoTestable type.
• The CanvasComponent listens to and handles PointerEvents to intercept user input. Custom styles might need to handle pointer-down events to ensure proper click events will be delivered to listeners.
• Snapping override (i.e. disable snapping temporarily) is now recognized by pressing the command key on the macOS platform.
• Added META_KEY to DragDropKeyStates.
• Removed KeyEventArgs.originalSource which is already covered by KeyEventArgs.OriginalEvent.target.
• Renamed KeyEventArgs.alt to KeyEventArgs.altKey.
• Renamed KeyEventArgs.shift to KeyEventArgs.shiftKey.
• Renamed KeyEventArgs.control to KeyEventArgs.ctrlKey.
• Renamed KeyEventArgs.meta to KeyEventArgs.metaKey.
• Removed the LabelTextValidatingEventArgs.cancel property. Instead, set the validatedText to null to reject the edited label text.
• The MouseEventArgs.wheelDelta property has been renamed to wheelDeltaY.

Incompatible Behavior Changes

• Changed the default of TextEditorInputMode.textBoxPlacementPolicy to TextBoxPlacementPolicy.MOVE_TEXT_BOX.
• The GraphInputMode.findItems method now considers the actual z-order of the hit items.
• GraphEditorInputMode's moveUnselectedItemsInputMode now only moves unselected items. Previously it also moved selected items despite its name.
• The multiSelectionRecognizer of GraphEditorInputMode and GraphViewerInputMode are not used anymore for marquee and lasso selection. Instead, MarqueeSelectionInputMode and LassoSelectionInputMode have their own modifiers for different selection policies.
• The LabelDropInputMode.isValidLabelOwner method now only accepts instances of FreeLabelModel or that the draggedLabel's owner type matches the owner type e.g. INode, IEdge, or IPort.
• The default values of the NodeReshapeHandleProvider.ratioReshapeRecognizer property and ReshapeHandlerHandle has been changed to null. If no custom recognizer is set, ReshapeHandlerHandle uses the new HandleInputMode.isDirectionalConstrained method instead if a HandleInputMode is found in the IInputModeContext.
• The default value of enableSnappingRecognizer in CreateEdgeInputMode, HandleInputMode, and MoveInputMode has been changed from CTRL_UP to ALT_UP.
• The default value of disableSnappingRecognizer in CreateEdgeInputMode, HandleInputMode, and MoveInputMode has been changed from CTRL_DOWN to ALT_DOWN.
• The default value of centerReshapeRecognizer in NodeReshapeHandleProvider and ReshapeHandlerHandle has been changed from ALT_IS_DOWN to CtrlIsDown.
• The default value of ReparentNodeHandler.reparentRecognizer has been changed from SHIFT_IS_DOWN to CtrlIsDown.
• GraphEditorInputMode.allowGroupingOperations is now true by default.
• Refined the event sequence of CreateEdgeInputMode to ensure consistency and symmetry between gesture cancellation and completion.
• Reorganized the sequence to include edge-creation-started only after the start node dragging has finished and the end port candidate is determined.
• Adjusted the timing of the end port candidate update, which now occurs just before gesture-finishing, allowing users to apply final updates to the end port.
• Ensured the following event order for gestures:
  • gesture-starting, gesture-started.
  • Cancellation path: gesture-canceling, gesture-canceled.
  • Completion path: edge-creation-started, gesture-finishing, edge-created, gesture-finished.
• The edge-creation-started and edge-created events provide now arguments of type ItemEventArgs<IEdge>.
• Edges can now be reconnected to other nodes per default. The old behavior can be restored by decorating the edge lookup with the provider returned by IEdgeReconnectionPortCandidateProvider.fromSourceAndTarget.
• During edge creation, bends are now created when pressing a mouse button instead of releasing it. This way, when starting edge creation by dragging the mouse from a node, no bend is created on the first mouse button release, which was an often unwanted behavior.
• Unselected items can be moved by default.
• Edge creation: by default, start port candidates are shown when hovering over a node.
• GraphViewerInputMode / GraphEditorInputMode: the clickHitTestOrder default value has been changed to GraphItemTypes.ALL which means that the default order is the Z-Order but with a prioritization for elements behind labels.
• GraphViewerInputMode: The MoveViewportInputMode's priority has been changed to 190.
• GraphEditorInputMode: The sub input mode's priorities have been changed to the following order: WaitInputMode, KeyboardInputMode, HandleInputMode, ClickInputMode, CreateEdgeInputMode, moveSelectedItemsInputMode, moveUnselectedItemsInputMode, CreateBendInputMode, MoveViewportInputMode, LassoSelectionInputMode, MarqueeSelectionInputMode, ItemHoverInputMode, NavigationInputMode, ContextMenuInputMode, NodeDropInputMode, LabelDropInputMode, PortDropInputMode, ToolTipInputMode, EditLabelInputMode.
• The default value of CreateEdgeInputMode.portCandidateResolutionRecognizer has been changed from SHIFT_IS_DOWN to CtrlIsDown.
• The default value of the CreateEdgeInputMode.enforceBendCreationRecognizer has been changed form CtrlIsDown to ALT_IS_DOWN.
• The default keyboard shortcuts of several commands have been changed:
  • Command.COLLAPSE_GROUP now uses Alt+Left.
  • Command.EXPAND_GROUP now uses Alt+Right.
  • Command.ENTER_GROUP now uses Alt+Down.
  • Command.EXIT_GROUP now uses Alt+Up.
  • Command.TOGGLE_EXPANSION_STATE now uses Alt+Shift+Left and Alt+Shift+Right.
  • Command.INCREASE_ZOOM now uses Ctrl+Plus.
  • Command.DECREASE_ZOOM now uses Ctrl+Minus.
• The default value of TextEditorInputMode.autoCommitOnFocusLost is now true . This means that the text of an edited label is commited instead of discarded when the text box loses the focus e.g. by clicking on the canvas.
• The default edge lookup doesn't provide an IPositionHandler anymore so dragging a selected edge doesn't move all its bends.
• Orthogonal edge editing now has to be enabled for each edge that should be edited orthogonally instead of enabling it for all edges by setting the GraphEditorInputMode.orthogonalEdgeEditingContext property. This can be done by enabling the PolylineEdgeStyle.orthogonalEditing properties of the styles, by setting an apropriate fallbackEdgeHelperProvider on the used OrthogonalEdgeEditingContext or by providing an IOrthogonalEdgeHelper in the edges' lookup.
• NavigationInputMode now interprets the direction of arrow keys in view coordinates by default.
• The default lookup of labels now returns an IPositionHandler implementation.
• In CreateEdgeInputMode it was previously possible to define a fallback for getPortOwner if IHitTester was removed. This option for defining a fallback is removed and always returns null.
• Improved the CreateBendInputMode behavior: Previously, dragging an existing bend triggered the bend-created event, causing confusion and limiting event handling for new bend creation. This has been adjusted to ensure the event only fires when a new bend is created interactively.
• CanvasComponent.updateContentBounds now only considers the items in the RenderTree.contentGroup instead of the rootGroup when calculating the new bounds.
• The mouse wheel events of the GraphComponent now use the browser's native {}deltaX{}, deltaY and deltaMode values. This implies that the mouse wheel behavior now also respects the client's current system settings.

Similarly, the fixedNodeSnapLines, fixedSegmentSnapLines, fixedPortSnapLines, and additionalSnapLines properties have been removed. The snapReferences property should be used instead.
• The SnapLine.ResourceKey property has been removed along with most of the static resourceKey members used for snapping. Instead, a visualizationType property of the enum type SnapReferenceVisualizationType is used to describe which visualization should be used for the SnapLine.
• Most subclasses of SnapLine have been removed as they only provided properties used for the visualization that are now available on SnapResult.
• The SnapTypes enum used by SnapResult has been replaced by the new SnapConstraint class that supports finding common snap locations for SnapResult with different constraints.

• The ParentNodeDetectionModes has been reduced to contain only the mainly used options. The option root has been renamed to NONE, and the options ALLOW_SELF and FORCE as well as the MODE_MASK and MODIFIER_MASK have been removed. The targetNode method can be overridden if the reduced modes are not suitable and may call the new findParentByPreviousParent method to simulate the old FORCE setting.
• GraphClipboard`s getTargetNode methods now take an additional ClipboardOperationContext parameter, and the getTargetNode overload for nodes also takes a pasteLocation as an additional parameter.
• GraphComponent instances now use a shared GraphClipboard per default. To revert to the previous behavior, a new GraphClipboard instance can be set on each GraphComponent.
• For consistency reasons, the property GraphClipboard.empty is now called isEmpty.

Folding

Incompatible API Changes

• Interface IFoldingEdgeConverter has a new updateMasterEdges method.
• FolderNodeConverter now relies on FolderNodeDefaults to configure initialization and update of states.
• FoldingEdgeConverter and MergingFoldingEdgeConverter now rely on FoldingEdgeDefaults to configure initialization and update of states.

Incompatible Behavior Changes

• In the graph of a folding view, the createGroup method now always creates a group even if the isExpanded predicate specified in the FoldingManager.createFoldingView method specifies otherwise. Create the group on the master graph if you want the predicate to be respected.

Lookup

Incompatible API Changes

GraphML

Incompatible API Changes

• The methods GraphMLIOHandler.addInputMapperFuture and GraphMLIOHandler.addInputHandlerFactory have been removed, together with their support classes.
• Type and property annotations via the $meta attributes are not supported anymore. Instead, metadata has to be registered with GraphMLIOHandler.addTypeInformation.

• The LayoutGraphAdapter class does no longer offer a method to create a layout graph several times but is now meant to create exactly one layout graph copy which can be accessed via the LayoutGraph property and initialized with method LayoutGraphAdapter.initialize. After initialization, changing properties of the LayoutGraphAdapter has no effect anymore.

Layout

Incompatible API Changes

• The public constructors of ItemMapping and ItemCollection have been removed. Instead the instances returned by the LayoutData properties should be used to configure the LayoutData.
• The optional ItemMapping parameter of GenericLayoutData.addItemMapping has been removed.
• The optional ItemCollection parameter of GenericLayoutData.addItemCollection has been removed.

• The CompositeLayoutStage class has been removed. If a complex composition of layout stages is required, the new LayoutStageStack class can be used instead. To get an ILayoutAlgorithm that is then applied like CompositeLayoutStage was before, LayoutStageStack.linkCoreLayouts method must be called.
• Merged MinimumSizeGroupBoundsCalculator and InsetsGroupBoundsCalculator into the new GroupBoundsCalculator class.
• LayoutMultiplexer has been removed. The features of ComponentLayout (COMPONENT_LAYOUT_DATA_KEY) or RecursiveGroupLayout (GROUP_NODE_LAYOUT_DATA_KEY) can be used instead.
• The classes FixPortLocationStage and FixPortLocationStageData have been removed from the library. To correct the port locations after applying a layout use the PortPlacementStage class.

  • To configure the EdgeRouter to generate a style that is similar to the removed ChannelEdgeRouter, set the stopDuration property to zero and use the predefined penalty configuration EdgeRouterCosts.LOW_QUALITY. It is however not compatible with advanced features like integrated edge label placement.
• The utility PortConstraintConfigurator class has been removed.
• Removed the classes PartitionLayout and PartitionLayoutData.
• The FamilyTreeLayout class has been removed.
• Removed SplitEdgeStage.
• The read/write properties MinimumSizeGroupBoundsCalculator.minimumNodeSizeDpKey and InsetsGroupBoundsCalculator.groupNodeInsetsDpKey have been removed. The bounds calculator classes now always use the values defined via the keys LayoutKeys.MINIMUM_GROUP_NODE_SIZE_DATA_KEY and LayoutKeys.GROUP_NODE_PADDING_DATA_KEY. Using the IGraph API, the insets and minimum sizes are registered automatically, so that this change has no effect.

• Removed the GraphTransformer class; use factory methods from LayoutTransformations class instead to create stages that apply transformation operations on a LayoutGraph.
• Replaced usages of the IComparer interface with Comparison function delegates.

• The GraphChecker class has been removed and most of its methods are now available on LayoutGraphAlgorithms.
• The NodeAggregation class has been renamed to LayoutGraphNodeAggregation, emphasizing that this class is intended for users working with the LayoutGraph API only.
  • Furthermore, its member NODE_TYPE_DP_KEY has been removed. The replacement is key LayoutKeys.NODE_TYPE_DATA_KEY.
  • Also, its member NODE_CENTER_DP_KEY has been removed. Node centers are now directly read from the LayoutGraph instance which must contain the coordinates of nodes if useful results should be generated.
• Removed the enum value EUCLIDEAN_SQUARED from DistanceMetric enum. Use enum value Euclidean instead which now calculates with squared values.
• Removed the DistanceMetric enum of KMeansClustering class. Use KMeansDistanceMetric enum instead.
