Alignment of the Diagram Nodes

In WinForms Diagram Control, we can align the diagram nodes by using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Model’s “AlignmentType” property. The AlignmentType is an Enum which has two types, and it is explained below,

SelectedNode

It used to align the node based on the position of the first node contains SelectionList.  

For example:  

If the diagram contains 3 text nodes i.e. TextNode1, TextNode2 and TextNode3.  In the Diagram.View’s “SelectionList” contains the First Node is TextNode2. Then the others nodes aligned based on the TextNode2’s position.  

[C#]

diagram1.Model.AlignmentType = AlignmentType.SelectedNode;

[VB]

diagram1.Model.AlignmentType = AlignmentType.SelectedNode

BoundingRectangle.

It is used to align the nodes based on the total bounds area of the selected nodes.  

[C#]

diagram1.Model.AlignmentType = AlignmentType.BoundingRectangle;

[VB]

diagram1.Model.AlignmentType = AlignmentType.BoundingRectangle
