vjs-shape-palette

This is a palette that sources its draggable items from the SVG shapes that the surface it is attached to has available.

Usage​

import { Component } from "@angular/core"
import {FLOWCHART_SHAPES, BASIC_SHAPES} from "@visuallyjs/browser-ui";

@Component({
template:`<div>

<vjs-surface [renderOptions]="renderOptions"/>
<vjs-shape-palette/>

</div>`
})
export class MyApp {

Inputs​

NameTypeDescription
allowDropOnEdge?boolean | CanDropOnEdgeFilterWhether or not to allow drop on edge. Defaults to false.
allowRotation?booleanWhether or not to allow rotation of elements being dragged. Defaults to true.
autoEdgeConnect?boolean | AutoEdgeConnectOptionsControls whether the palette will automatically connect a new vertex being dragged onto the canvas to existing vertices, if the shape definitions for the new vertex and/or the existing vertices have source/target elements. You can set this to simply 'true', and use defaults, or you can provide values for various options.
dataGenerator?DataGeneratorFunctionOptional function you can use to set some initial data for an element being dragged. Note that you cannot override the object's type with this function.
dragSizeSizeOptional size to use for dragged elements.
fill?stringOptional fill color to use for dragged elements. This should be in RGB or hex format, not a color like 'white' or 'cyan' etc.
iconSizeSizeOptional size to use for icons.
initialSet?stringWhen the shape library contains multiple sets, use this to instruct the palette that you want it to initially load just displaying this set. Optional.
inspector?booleanWhen true, selecting an element in the canvas will cause its related shape to be selected in the palette. Defaults to true.
onVertexAdded?OnVertexAddedCallbackCallback to invoke when a vertex has been dropped on the canvas
outline?stringOptional color to use for outline of dragged elements. Should be in RGB or hex format.
paletteStrokeWidth?numberStroke width to use in shapes in the palette. Defaults to 1.
preparedShapes?Array<PreparedShape>Optional set of prepared shapes to show in the palette. When this is provided, the palette will only render these shapes, and not the contents of the shape library.
rotationSpeed?numberThe number of milliseconds required to complete a full rotation of an element when the trigger key is held down. Defaults to 2000.
selectAfterDrop?booleanWhen true (which is the default), a newly dropped vertex will be set as the underlying model's selection.
showAllMessage?stringMessage to use for the 'show all' option in the shape set drop down when there is more than one set of shapes. Defaults to Show all.
showGroups?booleanWhether or not to show groups in the palette. Defaults to true.
updateTypeOnPaletteTap?booleanWhen true, clicking on an entry in the palette will change the type of any selected vertices to that type. Defaults to false. This is a potentially destructive operation if the properties of the new shape type are not compatible with the old one.
