Details

Autoplacement is enabled by default and can be controlled during initialization via the autoplace property. The method allows autoplace blocks in run time:

$$("diagram1").autoPlace();
 
// or, with a root item id
$$("diagram1").autoPlace("blockId");

The root parameter is optional. If this parameter is not specified, Diagram will define root by itself.
