JavaScript/jQuery Diagram - customShapes
Use the customShapes property to extend a collection of built-in shapes with custom shapes.
Use the toolbox property to add the custom shapes to the toolbox.
jQuery
$(function() { var diagram = $("#diagram").dxDiagram({ customShapes: [{ category: "hardware", type: "internet", title: "Internet", backgroundImageUrl: "images/shapes/internet.svg", backgroundImageLeft: 0.15, backgroundImageTop: 0, backgroundImageWidth: 0.7, backgroundImageHeight: 0.7, defaultWidth: 0.75, defaultHeight: 0.75, defaultText: "Internet", allowEditText: true, textLeft: 0, textTop: 0.7, textWidth: 1, textHeight: 0.3, connectionPoints: [ { x: 0.5, y: 0 }, { x: 0.9, y: 0.5 }, { x: 0.5, y: 1 }, { x: 0.1, y: 0.5 } ] }, ... ], toolbox: { groups: [{ category: "hardware", title: "Hardware" }] } }).dxDiagram("instance");

allowEditImage
Use the defaultImageUrl property to specify the default image that is displayed in the card. Set the allowEditImage property to true
to allow users to change the image from a context menu.
See Also
backgroundImageHeight
This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the shape background image height in relation to the shape height. If the backgroundImageHeight property is set to 1, the image height is equal to the shape height.
The absolute image height is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageHeight value by the shape's height.
backgroundImageLeft
This property specifies a fractional left offset of a shape background image toward the shape width. If the backgroundImageLeft property is set to 0, the image's left edge matches the shape's left edge.
The absolute offset is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageLeft value by the shape's width.
backgroundImageToolboxUrl
When a custom shape is created with a custom background image (the backgroundImageUrl property), you can use the backgroundImageToolboxUrl property to specify the image displayed for the shape in the toolbox.
If the property is not set, the toolbox displays an image specified in the backgroundImageUrl property.
backgroundImageTop
This property specifies the top offset (in fractions) of a shape's background image in relation to the shape's height. If the backgroundImageTop property is set to 0, the image's top edge matches the shape's top edge.
The absolute offset is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageTop value by the shape's height.
backgroundImageUrl
A custom shape can be created based on a default shape type (the baseType property) or with a custom background image (the backgroundImageUrl property).
Use the backgroundImageToolboxUrl property to specify an image displayed for the shape in the toolbox. If the property is not set, the toolbox displays an image specified in the backgroundImageUrl property.
The backgroundImageUrl property is not in effect if the baseType is specified.

backgroundImageWidth
This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the shape background image width in relation to the shape width. If the backgroundImageWidth property is set to 1, the image width is equal to the shape width.
The absolute image width is calculated by multiplying the backgroundImageWidth value by the shape width.
baseType
Specifies the base shape type for the custom shape. The built-in shape types are shown in the Shape Types section.
When the baseType property is specified, the backgroundImageUrl property is not in effect.
defaultImageUrl
A custom shape supports an inner image in two cases:
- When a shape is created based on a card shape type (the baseType property is set to
CardWithImageOnLeft
,CardWithImageOnRight
, orCardWithImageOnTop
). Note that in this case, the image size and position properties are not in effect, because they are predefined in the shape type. - When a shape is created based on a custom SVG image (with the backgroundImageUrl property specified). In this case, you can use the following properties to customize inner image size and position: imageHeight, imageWidth, imageLeft, and imageTop.
Use the defaultImageUrl property to specify the image URL.
If the allowEditImage property is set to true
, the diagram context menu displays commands that allow users to change the image.
See Also
imageHeight
The defaultImageUrl option specifies the URL of an image displayed inside the shape. Use the imageHeight option to specify the ratio of the image's height to the shape's height. If the imageHeight property is set to 1, the image height is then equal to the shape height.
The imageHeight option is not in effect if the baseType option is specified.
imageLeft
The defaultImageUrl option specifies the URL of an image displayed inside the shape. Use the imageLeft option to specify the ratio of the image's left offset to the shape's width. If the imageLeft option is set to 0, the image's left edge matches the shape's left edge.
The imageLeft option is not in effect if the baseType option is specified.
imageTop
The defaultImageUrl option specifies the URL of an image displayed inside the shape. Use the imageTop option to specify the ratio of the image's top offset to the shape's height. If the imageTop option is set to 0, the image's top edge matches the shape's top edge.
The imageTop option is not in effect if the baseType option is specified.
imageWidth
The defaultImageUrl option specifies the URL of an image displayed inside the shape. Use the imageWidth option to specify the ratio of the image's width to the shape's width. If the imageWidth option is set to 1, the image width is equal to the shape width.
The imageWidth option is not in effect if the baseType option is specified.
keepRatioOnAutoSize
Specifies whether the shape maintains its width-to-height ratio on auto resize.
template
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
item |
The shapes object. |
Template content must be presented as SVG elements.
We recommend that you do not use the foreignObject element to define template content (Safari does not support this element).
Use the customShapeTemplate property to define a common template for all shapes in the Diagram UI component.
Set a custom shape's allowEditText option to false
to disable shape text editing. Otherwise, users can add shape text that may overlap with template content.
If the textExpr option is specified, template content may overlap with text from the data source. Since the textExpr option has the default value 'text'
, the widget will obtain node texts from the data source’s 'text' field. To prevent this behavior, set the option to an empty string: nodes: { textExpr: "", ...
.

templateHeight
This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the shape template height in relation to the shape height. If the templateHeight property is set to 1, the template height is equal to the shape height.
The absolute template height is calculated by multiplying the templateHeight value by the shape height.
templateWidth
This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the shape template width in relation to the shape width. If the templateWidth property is set to 1, the template width is equal to the shape width.
The absolute template width is calculated by multiplying the templateWidth value by the shape width.
textHeight
This property specifies a fraction from 0 to 1 that represents the height of a shape's text in relation to the shape height. If the textHeight property is set to 1, the text height is equal to the shape height.
The absolute text height is calculated by multiplying the textHeight value by the shape height.
toolboxTemplate
Name | Type | Description |

Template content must be presented as SVG elements.
We recommend that you do not use the foreignObject element to define template content (Safari does not support this element).
Use the customShapeToolboxTemplate property to define a common template for all diagram shapes in the toolbox.

toolboxWidthToHeightRatio
The size of a shape in the toolbox is determined automatically based on the toolbox width and the number of shapes per row.
Use the toolboxWidthToHeightRatio property to change the aspect ratio of the shape.
