Is the new floorplan control supported in 1.3.6?

GoJS
#1

Just saw the demo here http://www.gojs.net/beta/extensions/FloorPlanEditor.html# and I’m thoroughly impressed with it.

Is this example supported in 1.3.6?

#2

That is in 1.3.6. At the moment gojs.net/beta is the same as gojs.net/latest. That can change, of course.

#3

Great! thanks!

A little off topic, in this floorplan control, how can I add a background layer onto it, like a floorplan of an exhibition hall and still be able to overlay the grid ontop of the floorplan?

#4

Did you want to do something like the Kitten Monitor sample, http://www.gojs.net/latest/samples/kittenMonitor.html?

As the Introduction to Layers notes, http://www.gojs.net/latest/intro/layers.html, the Grid layer is normally behind the Background layer. You can swap them by calling:
myDiagram.addLayerAfter(myDiagram.findLayer("Grid"), myDiagram.findLayer("Background"))

#5

Yes, I’d like a background something like the one in the kitten monitor example. Ok thanks I’ll try it out

#6

I tried this but I’m getting an error

    myDiagram.addLayerBefore(
        $$(go.Node, // this Part is not bound to any model data
            {
                layerName: "Background",
                position: new go.Point(0, 0),
                selectable: false,
                pickable: false
            },
            $$(go.Picture, "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Sample_Floorplan.jpg")), myDiagram.findLayer("Grid"));

Uncaught Error: Diagram.addLayer:layer value is not an instance of Layer: Node#1140

I tried this as well

    myDiagram.add(
            $$(go.Node,
                { layerName: "Background", position: new go.Point(0, 0), selectable: false, pickable: false },
                $$(go.Picture, "http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Sample_Floorplan.jpg")));

    myDiagram.addLayerAfter(myDiagram.findLayer("Grid"), myDiagram.findLayer("Background"));

And got this error:

Uncaught Error: Cannot add layer with the name ‘Grid’, a layer of the same name is already present in this diagram.

Oops, that’s a bug. We’ll fix this soon, in version 1.3.8. Thanks for reporting the problem.

#9

Ok thanks! Looking forward to the release. Is there an ETA?

#10

No, but you can try the beta 1.3.8 that is now at http://gojs.net/beta

#11

This relatively new sample might also be of interest.

#12

Ah cool! Very nice sample!

Oh, another question. On the ExternalObjectsDropped listener, why do you reset the draggingTool?

myDiagram.toolManager.draggingTool.reset();
#13

Actually, that method is defined on the GuidedDraggingTool class, and it removes all guidelines from the diagram. In retrospect I think we could have chosen a more descriptive name for that method in that sample class.
