NOV Diagram for .NET - Shape Libraries

Shapes can be organized in libraries for easy resuse. Libraries can be displayed by the NLibraryView widget, which supports drag-and-drop operation in a NDrawingView, thus allowing for the visual construction of complex diagrams.

Libraries can be organized by the NLibraryBrowser widget, which allows for the display of multiple NLibraryView widgets in an accordion-like fashion, and adds support for shapes and libraries search capabilities as well as library browsing.

Library Views and Library Browser

The NLibraryView widget displays reusable drawing content as library items, each containing a single shape or an arrangement of shapes. Users can drag items onto any drawing view to create new instances, quickly assembling diagrams from existing symbols.

The NLibraryBrowser widget organizes multiple library views and provides a navigation bar for switching between them. Built-in searching helps users find shapes and libraries. Both widgets can be embedded in any NOV UI hierarchy.
