Radial Tree Layout in Blazor Diagram Component
12 Dec 202420 minutes to read
A RadialTree layout is a diagram that presents information in a hierarchical structure, with a central node at the core of the diagram. The central node represents the main concept or topic, and branches extend outward in a radial fashion, creating a tree-like structure. The layout Root property can be used to define the root node of the layout. When no root node is set, the algorithm automatically considers the node without any incoming edges (InEdges connector count of 0) as the root node. To create radial tree, the Type of layout should be set as RadialTree.
The RadialTree layout provides support for adding space between the nodes. The HorizontalSpacing and VerticalSpacing properties of the layout allow you to set the space between the nodes. The arrangement results in an ever-expanding concentric arrangement with radial proximity to the root node indicating the node level in the hierarchy.
Note: The radial tree structure used in this context does not accommodate nodes with multiple parents. Each node within the tree is intended to have a single parent, maintaining a clear hierarchical relationship.
How to create a RadialTree with DataSource
You can create a radial tree layout with a DataSource. The following code example illustrates how to create a radial tree layout using a data source.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Diagram
<SfDiagramComponent @ref="diagram" Width="100%" Height="800px" NodeCreating="OnNodeCreating" ConnectorCreating="OnConnectorCreating">
<DataSourceSettings DataSource="RadialSource" ID="Id" ParentID="ReportingPerson"></DataSourceSettings>
<Layout Type="LayoutType.RadialTree" HorizontalSpacing="30" VerticalSpacing="30"></Layout>
<SnapSettings Constraints="@SnapConstraints.None"></SnapSettings>
</SfDiagramComponent>
@code
{
SfDiagramComponent diagram;
//Creates nodes with some default values.
private void OnNodeCreating(IDiagramObject obj)
{
Node node = obj as Node;
RadialTreeDetails radialData = node.Data as RadialTreeDetails;
double size = 0;
string color;
if (radialData.Id == "parent")
{
size = 20;
color="white";
}
else
{
size = 10;
color = "black";
}
ShapeAnnotation annotation = new ShapeAnnotation() { Content = radialData.Name, Style = new TextStyle() { Color = color, FontSize=size } };
node.Annotations = new DiagramObjectCollection<ShapeAnnotation>() { annotation };
if (radialData.Designation == "Managing Director")
{
node.Shape = new BasicShape()
{
Type = NodeShapes.Basic,
Shape = NodeBasicShapes.Ellipse,
CornerRadius = 10
};
node.Width = 150;
node.Height = 150;
node.Style.Fill = "black";
}
else if (radialData.Designation == "Project Manager")
{
node.Width = 65;
node.Height = 65;
node.Style.Fill = "#f8ab52";
}
else
{
node.Shape = new BasicShape()
{
Type = NodeShapes.Basic,
Shape = NodeBasicShapes.Ellipse,
CornerRadius = 10
};
node.Style.Fill = "#afeeee";
node.Width = 50;
node.Height = 50;
}
}
//Creates connectors with some default values.
private void OnConnectorCreating(IDiagramObject connector)
{
(connector as Connector).Type = ConnectorSegmentType.Straight;
}
public class RadialTreeDetails
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Designation { get; set; }
public string ReportingPerson { get; set; }
}
public List<RadialTreeDetails> RadialSource = new List<RadialTreeDetails>()
{
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "parent", Name = "Maria Anders", Designation = "Managing Director" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "1", Name = "Ana Trujillo", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "2", Name = "Lino Rodri", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "3", Name = "Philip Cramer", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "4", Name = "Pedro Afonso", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "15", Name = "Paul Henriot", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "18", Name = "Laura Callahan", Designation = "Project Manager",
ReportingPerson = "parent" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "5", Name = "Anto Moreno", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "1" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "6", Name = "Elizabeth Roel", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "1" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "7", Name = "Aria Cruz", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "18" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "8", Name = "Eduardo Roel", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "18" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "9", Name = "Howard Snyd", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "2" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "10", Name = "Daniel Tonini", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "2" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "11", Name = "Nardo Batista", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "3" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "12", Name = "Michael Holz", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "3" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "13", Name = "Kloss Perrier", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "4" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "14", Name = "Liz Nixon", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "4" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "16", Name = "Paula Parente", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "15" },
new RadialTreeDetails() { Id = "17", Name = "Matti Kenna", Designation = "Project Lead",
ReportingPerson = "15" },
};

Note: In the DataSourceSettings, the type of the ID and ParentID properties is string. The provided DataSource should have a parent-child relationship. It is necessary for at least one node to have an empty ParentID.
How to create a RadialTree with nodes and connectors
You can render a radial tree layout without using a Datasource. The following code demonstrates how to render a radial tree layout without using a DataSource.
