The three modes

Use the modes in the Designer to develop your diagram as follows:
  • Work in Style Editing mode to define your style rules
  • Work in Preview mode to test the resulting behavior of the diagram component as it would be in an application.
  • Work in Diagram Editing mode to build up a diagram one node or link at a time, and to position nodes and links in a diagram manually by dragging them. Note that editing the diagram will modify the data model.
