- Add, delete, move, and label nodes and edges to create a diagram
- Interact using zoom and pan, undo/redo, copy/paste, and more
- Test the different automatic layout algorithms
Graph Viewer
The Graph Viewer demo application demonstrates user interaction possibilities such as zooming, panning, overview, and toggling additional node information.
Collapsible Tree
The Collapsible Tree demo application loads a tree with many nodes, whose branches can be expanded and collapsed. The nodes are rendered with custom icons that indicate their current state. After an expand or collapse operation, the graph is automatically layed out.
Shortest Path
The Shortest Path demo application presents the shortest path search graph analysis algorithm.
Table Editor
The Table Editor demo application demonstrates out-of-the-box support for table nodes that model pools in business process diagrams, for example:
- Interaction: create and modify the table structure via drag'n'drop, easily re-arrange rows and columns by dragging their headers, resize them by dragging their borders
- Auto-Layout: calculate a clear routing and placement of the table contents with just the press of a button
Custom Styles
The Custom Styles demo application shows how to easily change the look and feel of nodes, edges, and labels.
Grouped Graph
The Grouped Graph demo application presents the grouping support of yFiles for HTML.
Group nodes can be collapsed and expanded. Whenever this happens, a new incremental layout is calculated and the graph is redrawn.
