26 Sep 2022 / 15 minutes to read
There are several commands available in the diagram as follows.
- Alignment commands
- Spacing commands
- Sizing commands
- Clipboard commands
- Grouping commands
- Z-order commands
- Zoom commands
- Nudge commands
- FitToPage commands
- Undo/Redo commands
Align
Alignment commands enable you to align the selected or defined objects such as nodes and connectors with respect to the selection boundary. Refer to align commands which shows how to use align methods in the diagram.
| Parameters | Description | ||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Alignment Options |
Defines the specific direction, with respect to which the objects to be aligned.
|
||||||||||||
| Objects | Defines the objects to be aligned. This is an optional parameter. By default, all the nodes and connectors in the selected region of the diagram gets aligned. |
||||||||||||
Alignment Mode |
Defines the specific mode, with respect to which the objects to be aligned. This is an optional parameter. The default alignment mode is
|
The following code example illustrates how to align all the selected objects at the left side of the selection boundary.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [getNodeDefaults] ='getNodeDefaults' (created)='created($event)'>
<e-nodes>
<e-node id='node1' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=100 [width]=90>
</e-node>
<e-node id='node2' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=170 [width]=100>
</e-node>
<e-node id='node3' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=240 [width]=140>
</e-node>
</e-nodes>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public selArray: (NodeModel | ConnectorModel)[] = [];
public getNodeDefaults(node: NodeModel): NodeModel {
node.height = 60;
node.style.fill = "#6BA5D7";
node.style.strokeColor = "White";
return node;
}
public created(args: Object): void {
this.selArray = [];
this.selArray.push(this.diagram.nodes[0], this.diagram.nodes[1], this.diagram.nodes[2]);
//Selects the nodes
this.diagram.select(this.selArray);
//Sets direction as left
this.diagram.align('Left', this.diagram.selectedItems.nodes, 'Selector');
this.diagram.dataBind();
}
}
Distribute
The Distribute commands enable to place the selected objects on the page at equal intervals from each other. The selected objects are equally spaced within the selection boundary.
The factor to distribute the shapes DistributeOptions are listed as follows:
- RightToLeft: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the right and left sides of the adjacent objects.
- Left: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the left sides of the adjacent objects.
- Right: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the right sides of the adjacent objects.
- Center: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the center of the adjacent objects.
- BottomToTop: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the bottom and top sides of the adjacent objects.
- Top: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the top sides of the adjacent objects.
- Bottom: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the bottom sides of the adjacent objects.
- Middle: Distributes the objects based on the distance between the vertical center of the adjacent objects.
The following code example illustrates how to execute the space commands.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [getNodeDefaults] ='getNodeDefaults' (created)='created($event)'>
<e-nodes>
<e-node id='node1' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=100>
</e-node>
<e-node id='node2' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=170>
</e-node>
<e-node id='node3' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=240>
</e-node>
</e-nodes>
</ejs-diagram>`,

})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public selArray: (NodeModel | ConnectorModel)[] = [];
public getNodeDefaults(node: NodeModel): NodeModel {
node.width = 90;
node.height = 60;
node.style.fill = "#6BA5D7";
node.style.strokeColor = "White";
return node;
}
public created(args: Object): void {
this.selArray = [];
this.selArray.push(this.diagram.nodes[0], this.diagram.nodes[1], this.diagram.nodes[2]);
//Selects the nodes
this.diagram.select(this.selArray);
//Distributes space between the nodes
this.diagram.distribute('RightToLeft', this.diagram.selectedItems.nodes);
}
}
Sizing
Sizing sameSize commands enable to equally size the selected nodes with respect to the first selected object.
SizingOptions are as follows:
- Width: Scales the width of the selected objects.
- Height: Scales the height of the selected objects.
- Size: Scales the selected objects both vertically and horizontally.
The following code example illustrates how to execute the size commands.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [getNodeDefaults] ='getNodeDefaults' (created)='created($event)'>

</e-node>
<e-node id='node3' [offsetX]=100 [offsetY]=240 [width]=140>
</e-node>
</e-nodes>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public selArray: (NodeModel | ConnectorModel)[] = [];
public getNodeDefaults(node: NodeModel): NodeModel {
node.width = 90;
node.height = 60;
node.style.fill = "#6BA5D7";
node.style.strokeColor = "White";
return node;
}
public created(args: Object): void {
this.selArray = [];
this.selArray.push(this.diagram.nodes[0], this.diagram.nodes[1], this.diagram.nodes[2]);
//Selects the nodes
this.diagram.select(this.selArray);
//Resizes the selected nodes with the same width
this.diagram.sameSize('Width', this.diagram.selectedItems.nodes);
}
}
Clipboard
Clipboard commands are used to cut, copy, or paste the selected elements. Refer to the following link which shows how to use clipboard methods in the diagram.
- Cuts the selected elements from the diagram to the diagram’s clipboard,
cut. - Copies the selected elements from the diagram to the diagram’s clipboard,
copy. - Pastes the diagram’s clipboard data (nodes/connectors) into the diagram,
paste.
The following code illustrates how to execute the clipboard commands.

}Nudge command
The nudge commands move the selected elements towards up, down, left, or right by 1 pixel.
NudgeDirection nudge command moves the selected elements towards the specified direction by 1 pixel, by default.
The accepted values of the argument “direction” are as follows:
- Up: Moves the selected elements towards up by the specified delta value.
- Down: Moves the selected elements towards down by the specified delta value.
- Left: Moves the selected elements towards left by the specified delta value.
- Right: Moves the selected elements towards right by the specified delta value.
The following code illustrates how to execute nudge command.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" (created)='created($event)'>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public created(args: Object): void {
//Nudges to right
this.diagram.nudge('Right');
}
}Nudge by using arrow keys
The corresponding arrow keys are used to move the selected elements towards up, down, left, or right direction by 1 pixel.
Nudge commands are particularly useful for accurate placement of elements.
BringIntoView
The bringIntoView command brings the specified rectangular region into the viewport of the diagram.
The following code illustrates how to execute the bringIntoView command.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" (created)='created($event)'>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public bound: Rect
public created(args: Object): void {
//Brings the specified rectangular region of the Diagram content to the viewport of the page.
this.bound= new Rect(200, 400, 500, 400);
this.diagram.bringIntoView(this.bound);
}
}BringToCenter
The bringToCenter command brings the specified rectangular region of the diagram content to the center of the viewport.
The following code illustrates how to execute the bringToCenter command.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" (created)='created($event)'>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public bound: Rect
public created(args: Object): void {
//Brings the specified rectangular region of the Diagram content to the center of the viewport.
this.bound= new Rect(200, 400, 500, 400);
this.diagram.bringToCenter(this.bound);
}
}FitToPage command
The fitToPage command helps to fit the diagram content into the view with respect to either width, height, or at the whole.
The mode parameter defines whether the diagram has to be horizontally/vertically fit into the viewport with respect to width, height, or entire bounds of the diagram.
The region parameter defines the region that has to be drawn as an image.
The margin parameter defines the region/bounds of the diagram content that is to be fit into the view.
The canZoomIn parameter enables/disables zooming to fit the smaller content into a larger viewport.
The customBounds parameter the custom region that has to be fit into the viewport.
The following code illustrates how to execute FitToPage command.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" (created)='created($event)'>
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public bound: Rect;
public created(args: Object): void {
//fit the diagram to the page with respect to mode and region
this.diagram.fitToPage({
mode: 'Page',
region: 'Content',
margin: {
bottom: 50
},
canZoomIn: false
});
}
}Command manager
Diagram provides support to map/bind command execution with desired combination of key gestures. Diagram provides some built-in commands.
CommandManager provides support to define custom commands. The custom commands are executed, when the specified key gesture is recognized.
Custom command
To define a custom command, specify the following properties:
execute: A method to be executed.canExecute: A method to define whether the command can be executed at the moment.gesture: A combination ofkeysandKeyModifiers.parameter: Defines any additional parameters that are required at runtime.name: Defines the name of the command.
To explore the properties of custom commands, refer to Commands.
The following code example illustrates how to define a custom command.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [commandManager]="commandManager">
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public commandManager: CommandManager;
ngOnInit(): void {
this.commandManager = {
commands: [{
name: 'customCopy',
parameter: 'node',
//Method to define whether the command can be executed at the current moment
canExecute: function() {
//Defines that the clone command can be executed, if and only if the selection list is not empty.
if (diagram.selectedItems.nodes.length > 0 || diagram.selectedItems.connectors.length > 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
},
//Command handler
execute: function() {
//Logic to clone the selected element
diagram.copy();
diagram.paste();
diagram.dataBind();
},
//Defines that the clone command has to be executed on the recognition of key press.
gesture: {
key: Keys.G,
keyModifiers: KeyModifiers.Shift | KeyModifiers.Alt
}
}]
},
}
}Modify the existing command
When any one of the default commands is not desired, they can be disabled. To change the functionality of a specific command, the command can be completely modified.
The following code example illustrates how to disable a command and how to modify the built-in commands.
@Component({
selector: "app-container",
template: `<ejs-diagram #diagram id="diagram" width="100%" height="580px" [commandManager]="commandManager">
</ejs-diagram>`,
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild("diagram")
public diagram: DiagramComponent;
public commandManager: CommandManager;
ngOnInit(): void {
this.commandManager = {
commands: [
{
name: 'nudgeRight',
execute: (): void => {
},
},
{
name: 'nudgeUp',
execute: (): void => {
},
},
{
name: 'nudgeDown',
execute: (): void => {
},
},
{
name: 'nudgeLeft',
canExecute: (): boolean => {
if (this.diagram.selectedItems.nodes.length > 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
},
execute: (): void => {
this.diagram.nudge("Left");
},
gesture: {
key: Keys.Left
}
}
]
},
}
