Give the ability to load JSON data to RadDiagram on the server. 

It will be possible to retrieve the pointer coordinates when using the OnMouseEnter and OnMouseLeave events of RadDiagram via their event object.

Add x, y, width and height properties in the options member of a client-side object of a RadDiagram connection so that it is consistent with the client-side object of a shape. Currently they can be retrieved through _bounds. 

make it easier to serialize and deserialze the diagram json string. 

When doing a Kendo Diagram.Save and resulting json string and be able to easily deserialize this into a C# Diagram object with DiagramShapes and DiagramsConnections

E.g.:

1) Kendo API does a Diagram.Save()
2) Serialize this to JSON
3) send to server via AJAX callback
4) simply do serializer.Deserialize<RadDiagram>(myJson);

Only step #4 is missing, writing my own deserializer now :(

The same would be the other way around, creating a RADDiagram with shapes and connections in the back and then serialize this with one call and bind it to the Kendo API.

I found a request in the forums from 2010 for venn diagram functionality, but the topic is locked now.  I was wondering if there was any chance that you might implement this at some point?  The ability to create these, particularly with labeled/valued intersections, is a highly requested feature for our software.  Thanks!

RadDiagram throws a NullReferenceException when you bind it declaratively and place it in the ItemTemplate of a data bound control, for example a Repeater.

By including an id attribute in the SVG rendering of the diagram shapes, it will be possible to reference them on the client.

When you change the beginning or the end of an existing RadDiagram connection and call the client-side save() method, the exported data for the modified connection will not be updated.

It will be possible to enable draggable scrollbars in RadDiagram.

ContentSettings should have a property for CssClass:
<ContentSettings Text="Some txt" CssClass="myLabel" />

or a Style property:
<ContentSettings Text="Some txt" Style="font:bold 14px arial;color:red;" />

this would allow developers to style the textual elements in their diagrams.

hello,

RadDiagram is great for vector shapes, but it's more difficult to use plain text shapes, or custom bitmaps (.PNGs, .GIFs, etc). possible to do, but requires javascript manipulation. it would be more natural and more powerful for their to be native DiagramShape types for "Text" and "Bitmap", with appropriate auxillary properties to use them ("ImagePath", for Bitmap, etc...)


thanks

I'm looking at using RadDiagrams for a dynamic workflow flow dashboard.  I'd like to be able to format the text inside the shape with underlines, bolds and line feeds, etc.  I'd like to see something implemented like in the report text box where you can pass in an HTML encoded string and when it's displayed it renders it as HTML.

<b>Header</b>\n<u>Items</u>

It will be possible to group RadDiagram shapes via the API of the control so that you can transform them and resize them together.

When exporting to JSON the configurations of a RadDiagram containing complex shapes, not all of the shapes information gets exported. For example, the URLs to the embedded in the shapes images are not exported.

Raise OnHover event for the RadDiagram shapes and connections, giving the developer the ability to access the object that is hovered (get reference to it).

Add ability to define unique ID for each connection configured in a RadDiagram, so it could be referenced by this ID later.

Hello,

I think text-only "shapes" should be consider for implementation as first-class citizens in RadDiagram. That is, placing elements that are purely textual. Currently, per the "Overview" example, various javascript helpers must be utilized to properly complete the addition of text-based shapes. It works, but it isn't as clean or simple as it could be.


thanks!

Hello,

The RadDiagram control has a lot of potential to be completely badass. I work in the engineering field and we'd like to use it to make diagrams of somewhat technical content. As such, the nodes (shapes) and connectors may contain several pieces of meta-data that is of use to the end user. The most natural way to present this information is in a tooltip similar to the ones used by other RadControls. Unfortunately there is no implementation for this, and jquery workarounds have only been met w/ partial success.

Please consider adding tooltip for both shapes and connections in RadDiagram.


thanks!
matt

Shapes currently support text inside the shape - how about text as a label above (or below) the shape. I want to have shapes in the form of small circles that have a text label above showing the user what the shape represents.

Allow shapes to be dragged and dropped between 2 diagram controls (and fire the associated drag-drop events on the target diagram container).
