Shapes in Blazor Diagram Component

5 Aug 20212 minutes to read

BPMN(Business Process Model and Notation) shapes are used to represent the internal business procedure in a graphical notation and enable you to communicate the procedures in a standard manner. To create a BPMN shape, in the node property shape, type should be set to “Bpmn” and its shape should be set as any one of the built-in shapes.

The following code example explains how to create a simple business process.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram

@* Initialize Diagram *@
<SfDiagramComponent Height="600px" Nodes="@nodes" />

@code
{
    // Initialize node collection with Node
    DiagramObjectCollection<Node> nodes;

    protected override void OnInitialized()
    {
        nodes = new DiagramObjectCollection<Node>();
        Node node = new Node()
        {
            // Position of the node
            OffsetX = 100,
            OffsetY = 100,
            // Size of the node
            Width = 100,
            Height = 100,
            // Unique Id of the node
            ID = "node1",
            // Sets type as Bpmn and shape as Event
            Shape = new BpmnShape()
            {
                Type = Shapes.Bpmn,
            }
        };
        nodes.Add(node);
    }
}

The default value for the property Shape is “Event”.

The list of BPMN shapes are as follows:

Shape	Image
Event
Gateway
Task
Message
DataSource
DataObject
Group
