Shapes

The Diagram enables you to add various shapes by using its API reference on shapes.

Getting Started

To add a rectangular shape to the Diagram, call the diagram.addShape(); method which renders a rectangle in the upper-left corner of the Diagram surface. To change the initial position, call the addShape() method with an additional Point parameter.

var Point = kendo.dataviz.diagram.Point;
diagram.addShape(new Point(100,220));

To specify additional properties for the Diagram, use the options parameter. The following example demonstrates how to set the background color of the shape.

diagram.addShape(new Point(100,220), { background: "red" });

The addShape() method also accepts a shape instance and enables you to add a new shape.

var Point = kendo.dataviz.diagram.Point;
var shapeInstance = new kendo.diagram.Shape();
var shape = diagram.addShape(shape);
shape.position(new Point(100,220));

Adding Connections

To connect the shapes, use the connect() method.

var Point = kendo.dataviz.diagram.Point;
var shape1 = diagram.addShape(new Point(100,100));
var shape2 = diagram.addShape(new Point(300,100));
var connection = diagram.connect(shape1, shape2);
