Several issues

[Christian Rattat]

Hello,

in some posts here you suggest to set the logical model size to "large values" when you want to have quasi unlimited drawing area.

This does work very restrictive only. First off the maximum size is obviously less than 100000 pixels. But effectively you cannot use even this because you get a lot of exceptions raised from GDI and your components when you do so.

Second as I'm visualizing processes that result into diagrams with a couple thousand connect nodes in a hierarchy the diagram size cannot be enlarged far enough to display the auto layouted hierarchy. This would require more than currently usable pixels. If it is a logical size why does it need to span a graphics window of this size (obviously)?. With these limitations the diagram control is completely useless for me. Do you plan to change this somehow (I'm using version 8.204.0.18)?

Third, with large diagrams the overview control does not work correctly. It displays partially only parts of the diagram (I'm detaching the diagram from the overview and connect it again as in your samples when layouting or creating the diagrams) and in some situations when you change the zoom it suddenly fits the diagram correctly. It is hardly possible to pan and zoom in the overview control with large diagrams in a senseful way. The view rectangle jumps around to arbitrary places in the overview control when you resize it by mouse.

Is there a newer version than 8.2 which solves my issues or will there be one soon? I need to take a decision quickly whether to change to a different component.

Regards,
Christian

Hi,

I just made some additional tests. When the diagram model logical width gets larger than 32000 pixels the diagram crashes when resizing to fit in the diagram's EndUpdate method. See exception call stack below. The diagram was filled with 1027 nodes each connected to one or more other in a strict hierarchy.

Christian
