Hi i am using the GraphLinksModel for my application, pretty straight forward as it is demonstrated in the sample application.
In the backend with which i must work, there is a single class which represents a node.
And there is a single class which represents a link with 1-n relations. (FromNode and ToNodes)
Is there a predefined sample model class like GraphLinksModelLinkData<string, string> which also supports 1-n links per default? - I need to manually synchronize the UI and the backend currently, and would like to optimize this, since in UI, i have only 1-1 links and in backend i have 1-n links.
I want to achieve, that the operator can make a single link from node A to node B and i want to achieve, that the operator can make a single link from node C to Node D and Node E.
My thought was, that i make a link, and then i want to drag away another link from that link?
Do you think this is even possible with the current version of GoWPF?
Something like this:
Important would be, that Link Y, is a single link. - Which means, when i click it the whole link with all its “ToNodes” Links must be selected as one link.
The GraphLinksModel would need to have separate link data objects in the GraphLinksModel.LinksSource collection. So loading a model would require constructing the appropriate LinksSource collection from the actual data that you would get. Similarly, saving a model would need to “merge” the data appropriately.
You could customize the behavior so that if you clicked on what is labeled “Link Y” it would actually select both (or all) links. The same goes for deleting and copying and reconnecting a branch (if that is allowed).
I forgot to mention, that i work with MVVM and binding to the LinksSource, so if i understood you correctly, “Single 1-n links” are not supported by the go:Diagramm per default, and i need to handle this on my own, which is okay for me.
