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

Hi!

We would like to create end user possibility to change diagram type.

It would also be nice to be able to searilize all settings from the diagram component.

Is this possible or is it a planned feature?

Best regards
Henric

With RadDiagram it's possible to have a shape connected to it self through ConnectionsCollection DiagramConnection declaration. 

But it would be nice if the diagram end user, using the built-in drag and drop could connect a shape to it self like it does between different shapes.

Thanks

It will be possible to specify the maximum number of connections that start from a shape and end in a shape of RadDiagram.

It will be possible to move RadDiagram shapes via the direction keyboard buttons.

It will be possible to create shapes of RadDiagram by selecting from a toolbox of specified shape types. 

It will be possible to edit the content of shapes and connections of RadDiagram by interacting with them.

You should be able to prevent the horizontal/vertical overlapping of routed connections . This way the connections should be easier to differentiate.

1. Could this be a setting where there is no overlapping of connections?

2. Even if I use a different color (red) for HoverSettings only the most recent created connection is displayed.  At make the selected (Hovered) selection show when clicked.

3.  This is a show stopper for us.  We might have to try a different product because our clients need to differentiate the different paths (connections) in a complex Diagram.

There is a similar request for this same missing feature in your other products at

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

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.

It will be possible to disable the various actions that the diagram control currently supports. You can find them listed in the following help article: http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/diagram-rich-layout-interaction.html

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.

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!

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!

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.

Make it possible to drag RadDiagram shapes in mobile devices.

The property should be similar to the Kendo UI property - http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/diagram#configuration-connectionDefaults.type

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.

When you use the ConnectionDataSource of RadDiagram to data bind an SqlDataSource to its connections, a NullReferenceException is thrown.

You can avoid this issue by using ConnectionDataSourceId instead.

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