Symbol palette in Angular Diagram component

28 Oct 202424 minutes to read

The symbolPalette  is a gallery of reusable symbols and diagram elements that can be dragged and dropped on the diagram surface multiple times.

Create symbol palette

The width and height properties of the symbol palette allows to define the size of the symbol palette.

@Component({
    selector: "app-container",
    template: `<ejs-symbolpalette id="symbolpalette"width="100%" height="700px">
    </ejs-symbolpalette>`,
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {}

Add nodes and palettes to SymbolPalette

The collection of predefined symbols can be added to palettes using the symbols property.

A palette displays a group of related symbols and textually annotates the group with its header. A Palettes can be added as a collection of symbol groups.

To initialize a palette, define a JSON object with the unique property ID. Additionally, include the symbols property, which contains an array of different symbols.

The following code example illustrates how to define symbols in a palette and how to add them to the symbol palette:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';

Add connectors in symbol palette

Connectors can be added to the symbol palette by defining them in the symbols array of the palette.
The following example shows how to render connectors in the symbol palette:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { SymbolPaletteModule, ConnectorModel, PaletteModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams';
import { ExpandMode } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';

@Component({

Add group nodes in symbol palette

The symbol palette supports adding group nodes. To add group nodes to the palette, the child nodes should be defined first, followed by the parent node. Refer to the following code to see how to render group nodes in the symbol palette:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DiagramModule, SymbolPaletteModule, PaletteModel, NodeModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams'
import { ExpandMode } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';

@Component({
    imports: [

    providers: [],
    standalone: true,

})

Symbol defaults

While adding more symbols such as nodes and connectors to the palette, you can define the default settings for those objects using the getNodeDefaults and the getConnectorDefaults properties of symbol palette.
These properties allow you to specify default configurations for nodes and connectors, ensuring consistency and saving time when adding multiple symbols. By setting these properties, you can predefine attributes such as size, color, shape for nodes and line style, thickness, for connectors.

In the following example, the fill color of node and target decorator shape of connector is defined in getNodeDefaults and getConnectorDefaults respectively.

Add palettes at runtime

You can dynamically add palettes to the symbol palette at runtime to enhance flexibility and customization. This allows you to introduce new groups of symbols as needed without having to reload or reinitialize the diagram. The addPalettes method of the symbol palette enables you to create and configure new palettes programmatically. This method takes parameters that define the palette’s properties, such as the palette ID, title, and the symbols it contains.

Follow the example below to see how to add a palette at runtime.

Remove palettes at runtime

You can remove palettes from the symbol palette at runtime. There are two ways to do this:

  • Use the removePalette method to remove a single palette by its ID.
  • Use the removePalettes method to remove multiple palettes by passing an array of palette IDs as a parameter.

Follow the example below to see how to remove palettes at runtime.

Stretch the symbols into the palette

The fit property defines whether the symbol has to be fit inside the size, that is defined by the symbol palette. For example, when you resize the rectangle in the symbol, ratio of the rectangle size has to be maintained rather changing into square shape. The following code example illustrates how to customize the symbol size.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { Component, OnInit, ViewEncapsulation, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { DiagramModule, SymbolPaletteModule, NodeModel, PaletteModel, SymbolInfo } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-diagrams';
import { ExpandMode } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';

    standalone: true,

    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
    public expandMode: ExpandMode = 'Multiple';
    public palettes: PaletteModel[] = [{
        id: 'basic',
        expanded: true,
        symbols: this.getBasicShapes(),
        title: 'Basic Shapes',
        iconCss: 'e-ddb-icons e-basic'
    }];
    public getBasicShapes(): NodeModel[] {
        let basicShapes: NodeModel[] = [{
            id: 'Rectangle', width: 200,
            shape: {
                type: 'Basic',
                shape: 'Rectangle'
            }
        },
        {
            id: 'Ellipse', width: 200,
            shape: {
                type: 'Basic',

            }
        },

        return {
            fit: true
        };
        // When it is set as false, the element is rendered with actual node size
    };
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Refresh symbol palette

The refresh method allows you to refresh the symbols dynamically in the SymbolPalette.

//To refresh the symbols in symbol palette
symbolPalette.refresh();
