Can we include customized shapes ?

[jenilfuria]

Existing shapes are like square, rectangle, rhombus, circle etc....so i want to include my own customized shape.. for eg i want to include cloud shape or egg shape..

...is it possible ?
If yes then how can i integrate this .. ?

[knsv]

It should be possible as dagre-d3 allows custom shapes.

Perhaps a special function part of the initialize call that defines a shape and ties it to a key. Syntax wise it would be easiest to tag the shapes with the custom shape in special statment in a way similar to the class definition:

customShape nodeId1,nodeId2 shapeName;

That breaks the concepr of the shape in the synaxt of the diagram though so open for better ideas.

Btw. Ovals are available with the following syntax:

graph TD
A(-this is an ellipse-)-->B

(This ia quite new and has not made its way into the editor or docs yet.)

is it possible ?

An example that shows how to create and use user-defined shapes and arrows.

@knsv I see the demo from @yzx226 has any of this made it in to the DSL yet?

[knsv]

Yes it is possible. This is for instance how the odd shape was implemented.

Which shape/shapes is it and how should the syntax be expanded?

Lets break this out to tasks that someone can put their teeth in!

We'd find the "database" shape very useful in our documentation.

I'm ready to take a stab at implementing it, but would be great to get some help to understand how it works now :)

Please take a stab at it! How can I assist you?

@weralabaj were you able to get custom shape to work? I am looking for something similar.

[nachiket]

I’m also curious — want to know if a trapezium shape is available already or needs to be added as a custom shape.

Is there documentation on this somewhere? I am building out a UML model but need "circle-cross" shapes for the "arrowheads".
