NOV Diagram for .NET integrates a full-featured MS Word - processing engine directly into diagram shapes, bringing an exceptional depth of rich text editing to diagramming. Advanced character and paragraph formatting, nested tables, multilevel lists, and embedded images allow shapes to contain sophisticated document content, extending far beyond ordinary diagram labels.
The in-place editor is deeply integrated with the diagramming interface. Ribbon commands apply formatting to entire shapes when shapes are selected and to selected text during editing. Microsoft Word–style context menus provide a familiar way to access these extensive editing and formatting capabilities.
Inplace Text Editor
NOV Diagram for .NET provides an advanced in-place text editor that is tightly integrated with the diagramming interface.
Ribbon commands for character and paragraph formatting apply to entire shapes when shapes are selected, and to the selected text range when the in-place editor is active.
The editor also provides context menus similar to those in Microsoft Word, giving users a familiar way to edit and format text within shapes.
Character Formatting
NOV Diagram for .NET provides extensive character formatting for text within shapes and tables.
Text supports solid, linear gradient, radial gradient, hatch, and image fills with adjustable transparency.
Character outlines can be styled independently of their fill.
The following formatting options are available:
Font style: bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
Font name: choose from fonts available on the target system
Font size
Superscript and subscript
Text fill: solid color, gradient, hatch, or image, with transparency support
Independent character outline formatting
Highlight and background fills
Formatting marks: show or hide nonprinting characters, such as line and page breaks
Paragraph Formatting
Shape text can contain multiple paragraphs, each with its own formatting.
Paragraph settings control text alignment, indentation, line height, and reading direction:
Indentation: first-line and hanging indents
Alignment: left, right, center, and justified
Adjustable line height and spacing
Right-to-left text support for languages such as Arabic and Hebrew
Table Support
NOV Diagram for .NET supports tables for presenting structured information within diagrams.
Users can insert and remove rows and columns, merge and split cells, nest tables, and customize their appearance.
Tables can be embedded in rich text, and shapes containing tables can be connected to other diagram elements.
Supported features include:
Cells spanning multiple rows or columns, with cell merging and splitting
Individual cell text orientation: horizontal or vertical
Independent fills and borders for each cell
Collapsed and expanded cell margins
Interactive row and column resizing using the mouse
Fixed, percentage-based, and automatic column widths
Border collapsing for shared cell edges
Automatic table sizing
Selection of multiple ranges of cells, rows, and columns
Nested tables within table cells
Bullets and Numbering
NOV Diagram for .NET supports bulleted, numbered, and mixed multilevel lists within shape text and table cells.
Flexible numbering and formatting options help organize instructions, descriptions, and hierarchical information:
Numbering styles: Arabic numerals, Roman numerals, letters, symbols, cardinal numbers, and ordinal numbers
Multilevel lists: nested levels with hierarchical numbering, such as 2.1 and 2.1.1
Tab alignment: consistent spacing and indentation between list markers and paragraph text
Counters: custom or automatically assigned counters for controlling numbering sequences
List templates: reusable settings that define how list markers are generated and formatted
Embedded Images
Images can be embedded directly in shape text and table cells, combining formatted text with illustrations, icons, and other visual content.
Supported formats include:
Raster images: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and animated GIF.
Vector images: SVG, EMF, and WMF, preserving sharpness and scalability when printed or exported to vector formats such as PDF.
Spellchecking
NOV Diagram for .NET includes built-in spellchecking compatible with OpenOffice dictionaries.
Spelling errors are identified as users type, helping them maintain accurate labels, annotations, and table content.
Right-clicking a flagged word opens a context menu with suggested replacements.
