This release expands our data integration support with a new save-to-Neo4j capability and schema extraction for our SQL and Apache TinkerPop data integrators. Additional Graph and Data Visualization improvements include the addition of new graph analysis functions available from the Designer and improved performance for graph algorithm analysis integration.
This release brings improvements to orthogonal layout performance by up to 16% on server-class machines and improvements to drawing quality for nested orthogonal drawings. The number of crossings has been dramatically reduced for connectors with multiple edges per connector and nested connectors. Bend elimination and labeling have been improved as well.
Tom Sawyer Perspectives, Release 8.2.0 also includes new and improved features in Model-Based Engineering and Business Process. The ability to filter a diagram by its relationships has been added to both web and desktop applications, and the loading speed of Internal Block diagrams has improved by 20–30%. Model-Based Engineering diagrams are significantly more attractive with new color control options. In Business Process, you can add a service task for automated processing and a boundary event to handle an exception sequence flow.
