What's not implemented:

Please contribute to working on this list!

  • Shape text:
    • Currently only centered in the shape.
    • Boundaries can be easily exceeded.
    • No justification.
    • Single line only - no auto-wrap.
  • Scrollbars for canvas - currently you drag the canvas to move it.
  • Zoom.
  • Shape rotation.
  • Custom defined connection points.
    • Including on connectors.
  • Adjust custom connection points intelligently when shape is resized.
  • True dynamic connectors.
  • Other line caps besides an arrow and diamond.
  • Ruler margins / page boundaries.
  • Snap shapes to centers and edges.
  • Printing (more or less easily implemented, actually) If you want to print, save the diagram as a PNG and use some other tool!
  • True drag-from-toolbox-onto-surface.
  • Undo/redo. That'll be fun!
  • Better property UX - PropertyGrid's are ok for developers, they are awful for users.
