Release 9.0.0

DateDecember 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

  • None
