Scroll settings in Vue Diagram component
20 Mar 202324 minutes to read
The diagram can be scrolled by using the vertical and horizontal scrollbars. In addition to the scrollbars,mousewheel can be used to scroll the diagram.
Diagram’s scrollSettings enable you to read the current scroll status, view port size, current zoom, and zoom factor. It also allows you to scroll the diagram programmatically.
Get current scroll status
Scroll settings allow you to read the scroll status, viewPortWidth, viewPortHeight, and currentZoom with a set of properties. To explore those properties, see Scroll Settings.
Define scroll status
Diagram allows you to pan the diagram before loading, so that any desired region of a large diagram is made to view. You can programmatically pan the diagram with the horizontalOffset and verticalOffset properties of scroll settings. The following code illustrates how to set pan the diagram programmatically.
In the following example, the vertical scroll bar is scrolled down by 50px and horizontal scroll bar is scrolled to right by 100px.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' scrollSettings='scrollSettings'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
export default {
name: 'app'
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
scrollSettings: {
horizontalOffset: 100,
verticalOffset: 50
}
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style>Update scroll status
You can programmatically change the scroll offsets at runtime by using the client-side method update. The following code illustrates how to change the scroll offsets and zoom factor at runtime.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' scrollSettings='scrollSettings'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
export default {
name: 'app'
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
}
}
mounted: function() {
let diagramInstance: Diagram;
let diagramObj: any = document.getElementById("diagram");
diagramInstance = diagramObj.ej2_instances[0];
//Updates scroll settings
diagramInstance.scrollSettings.horizontalOffset = 200;
diagramInstance.scrollSettings.verticalOffset = 30
diagramInstance.dataBind();
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style>AutoScroll
Autoscroll feature automatically scrolls the diagram, whenever the node or connector is moved beyond the boundary of the diagram. So that, it is always visible during dragging, resizing, and multiple selection operations. Autoscroll is automatically triggered when any one of the following is done towards the edges of the diagram.
- Node dragging, resizing
- Connection editing
- Rubber band selection
- Label dragging
The diagram client-side event ScrollChange gets triggered when the autoscroll (scrollbars) is changed and you can do your own customization in this event.
The autoscroll behavior in your diagram can be enabled/disabled by using the canAutoScroll property of the diagram. The following code example illustrates how to set autoscroll.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :connectors= 'connectors' :scrollSettings='scrollSettings' :getNodeDefaults='getNodeDefaults'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
let nodes = [{
id: 'Start',
width: 140,
height: 50,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 50,
annotations: [{
id: 'label1',
content: 'Start'
}],
shape: {
type: 'Flow',
shape: 'Terminator'
}
}];
let connectors: ConnectorModel[] = [{
id: 'connector1', sourcePoint: { x: 300, y: 100 }, targetPoint: { x: 450, y: 200 },
style: {
strokeColor: '#6BA5D7',
strokeWidth: 2
},
targetDecorator: {
style: {
fill: '#6BA5D7',
strokeColor: '#6BA5D7'
}
}
}];
export default {
name: 'app'
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
nodes: nodes,
connectors:connectors,
scrollSettings: {
canAutoScroll: true,
scrollLimit: 'Infinity',
},
getNodeDefaults: (node) => {
node.height = 100;
node.width = 100;
node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
return node;
}
}
}
}
</script>

@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style>Autoscroll border
The autoscroll border is used to specify the maximum distance between the object and diagram edge to trigger autoscroll. The default value is set as 15 for all sides (left, right, top, and bottom) and it can be changed by using the autoScrollBorder property of page settings. The following code example illustrates how to set autoscroll border.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :scrollSettings='scrollSettings' :getNodeDefaults='getNodeDefaults'></ejs-diagram>
</div>

}
},
getNodeDefaults: (node) => {
node.height = 100;
node.width = 100;
node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
return node;
}
}
}
}
</script>

</style>Scroll limit
The scroll limit allows you to define the scrollable region of the diagram. It includes the following options:
- Allows to scroll in all directions without any restriction.
- Allows to scroll within the diagram content.
- Allows to scroll within the specified scrollable area.
- The
scrollLimitproperty of scroll settings helps to limit the scrolling.
The scrollSettings scrollableArea allow to extend the scrollable region that is based on the scroll limit.
The following code example illustrates how to specify the scroll limit.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :scrollSettings='scrollSettings' :getNodeDefaults='getNodeDefaults'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
let nodes = [{
id: 'Start',
width: 140,
height: 50,
offsetX: 300,
offsetY: 50,
annotations: [{
id: 'label1',
content: 'Start'
}],
shape: {
type: 'Flow',
shape: 'Terminator'
}
}]
export default {
name: 'app'
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
nodes: nodes,
// set the autoScrollBorder
scrollSettings: {
canAutoScroll: true,
//Sets the scroll limit
scrollLimit: 'infinity'
},
getNodeDefaults: (node) => {
node.height = 100;
node.width = 100;
node.style.fill = '#6BA5D7';
node.style.strokeColor = 'white';
return node;
}
}
}
}
</script>

</style>Scroll padding
padding property of scroll settings allows you to extend the scrollable region that is based on the scroll limit.
The following code example illustrates how to set scroll padding to diagram region.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :scrollSettings='scrollSettings' ></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
let nodes = [{
id: 'Start',
width: 100, height: 100,
offsetX: 350, offsetY: 350,
shape: {
type: 'Flow',
shape: 'Terminator'
}
}]
export default {
name: 'app'
data() {
return {
width: "100%",
height: "350px",
nodes: nodes,
// set the autoScrollBorder
scrollSettings: {
canAutoScroll: true,
scrollLimit: 'Infinity',
//Sets the scroll limit
padding: { right: 50, bottom: 50 }
},
}
}
}
</script>
<style>
@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams/styles/material.css";
</style>Scrollable Area
Scrolling beyond any particular rectangular area can be restricted by using the scrollableArea property of scroll settings. To restrict scrolling beyond any custom region, set the scrollLimit as “limited”. The following code example illustrates how to customize scrollable area.
<template>
<div id="app">
<ejs-diagram id="diagram" :width='width' :height='height' :nodes='nodes' :scrollSettings='scrollSettings' :getNodeDefaults='getNodeDefaults'></ejs-diagram>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DiagramPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-diagrams';
Vue.use(DiagramPlugin);
let nodes = [{
id: 'Start',
