Release 9.0.0
| Date | December 15, 2008 |
| Status | General |
Overview
This release includes drawing fitting options that enable the drawing to more efficiently use the
target drawing area. New node grouping constraints keep specified drawing elements together
during a layout operation. Further, this release contains many additional layout, labeling, and
routing refinements.
New
Layout
- Drawing Fitting optimizes use of the target drawing area
- Open and closed group constraints
Documentation
- Additional tutorials
- Reference page of available resources
Improvements
Layout
- Reduced number of edge crossings for inter-drawing edges when laying out nested drawings
- Refined options for minimum and maximum number of clusters for disconnected drawings with more than one component in the circular layout style
- Enhanced incremental hierarchical layout style results
- Reduced number of edge crossings in the hierarchical layout style
- Reduced local edge crossings in the orthogonal layout style
- Improved node placement when fixed connectors are present in both symmetric and orthogonal layout styles
- Enhanced multiedge routing in both symmetric and circular layout styles
- Increased labeling quality
Documentation
- Enhanced Developer's Guide
Requirements
- Added support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2008
- Dropped support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003
Issues
