Release Candidate version: 1.4.0-beta5



Version 1.4 is almost ready. I am hoping this 1.4.0-beta5 version can serve as a release candidate.

The major new feature is support for animation, mostly layout animation. You can disable this animation by setting Diagram.animationManager.isEnabled = false. It is turned on by default. You can also control its duration, by setting Diagram.animationManager.duration, in milliseconds.

Major new features:

•Added the AnimationManager class and the Diagram.animationManager property.
•Added the Part.isAnimated property (default is true).

•Added Diagram.highlighteds collection and Diagram.highlight, Diagram.highlightCollection, and Diagram.clearHighlighteds methods.
•Added Part.isHighlighted property, a standard way of declaring that a Part is highlighted. Use data binding to change the appearance of your parts, e.g.:
new go.Binding(“stroke”, “isHighlighted”, function (h) { return h ? “red” : “black”; }).ofObject()
•Added TextBlock.overflow property and TextBlock.OverflowEllipsis and TextBlock.OverflowClip enum values; clipping is the default behavior when there is not enough room to draw all of the text.
•Added TreeLayout.layerStyle property; when set to the new enum value TreeLayout.LayerUniform, all nodes at the same layer level will be aligned. The default value, TreeLayout.LayerIndividual, produces the original behavior where each node only takes up as much depth as it needs, causing its children not necessarily to be aligned with its siblings’ children.
•Added TreeLayout.commitLayers and LayeredDigraphLayout.commitLayers overridable methods, for getting information about the size and position of the “bands” (layout layers) cutting across the diagram, which is useful when positioning labels or putting rectangular areas behind each band.
•Added Iterator.any, List.any, Set.any, and Map.any methods that take a predicate function as an argument and return true if the predicate is true for at least one item in the collection.
•Added Iterator.all, List.all, Set.all, and Map.all methods that take a predicate function as an argument and return false if the predicate is false for at least one item in the collection.
•Added Iterator.each, List.each, Set.each, and Map.each methods that take a function as an argument and call it on each item in the collection.
