<PaperComponent/>

Provides a static, auto scaling, canvas on which nodes, edges and groups can be drawn, with support for layouts and various plugins.

Usage

This component is a "static" version of the SurfaceComponent - it offers all of the features of the surface, but it does not zoom, pan or allow vertices to be dragged, and it continually adjusts the position and scale of the canvas so that all of the content is visible inside of the viewport. It's useful for situations where you want to give your users a live view of a dataset but without the ability to edit.

There are three main sections of props that you should be familiar with:

• renderOptions This prop contains all of the settings that control the behaviour and appearance of the component itself - what layout to use, whether to zoom to fit a dataset when it has been loaded, whether or not to use a grid, plugins, etc...the list is long.

• viewOptions This contains the mapping from node/edge/group types to their visual representation and behaviour. For nodes and groups this means mapping a component to use to render them; for edges this means specifying details of the connector to use to draw an edge, and how the edge should be anchored. You can also supply event mappings in your viewOptions to hook into user interaction with the various parts of the UI

• modelOptions This is used less often than viewOptions and renderOptions, but this is how you can provide settings for the underlying model.

<script>
    export default {
        data:() => {
            
        }
    } 
</script>
<template>
	<PaperComponent :renderOptions="renderOptions"
      :viewOptions="viewOptions"
      :modelOptions="modelOptions"
      :data="this.getData()"
	></PaperComponent>    
</template>
