mxGraphHandler

Graph event handler that handles selection.  Individual cells are handled separately using mxVertexHandler or one of the edge handlers.  These handlers are created using mxGraph.createHandler in mxGraphSelectionModel.cellAdded.

To avoid the container to scroll a moved cell into view, set <scrollAfterMove> to false.

Functions

mxGraphHandler

function mxGraphHandler(graph)

Constructs an event handler that creates handles for the selection cells.

Parameters

graphReference to the enclosing mxGraph.

Variables

graph

mxGraphHandler.prototype.graph

Reference to the enclosing mxGraph.

maxCells

mxGraphHandler.prototype.maxCells

Defines the maximum number of cells to paint subhandles for.  Default is 50 for Firefox and 20 for IE.  Set this to 0 if you want an unlimited number of handles to be displayed.  This is only recommended if the number of cells in the graph is limited to a small number, eg.  500.

enabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.enabled

Specifies if events are handled.  Default is true.

highlightEnabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.highlightEnabled

Specifies if drop targets under the mouse should be enabled.  Default is true.

cloneEnabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.cloneEnabled

Specifies if cloning by control-drag is enabled.  Default is true.

moveEnabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.moveEnabled

Specifies if moving is enabled.  Default is true.

guidesEnabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.guidesEnabled

Specifies if other cells should be used for snapping the right, center or left side of the current selection.  Default is false.

guide

mxGraphHandler.prototype.guide

Holds the mxGuide instance that is used for alignment.

currentDx

mxGraphHandler.prototype.currentDx

Stores the x-coordinate of the current mouse move.

currentDy

mxGraphHandler.prototype.currentDy

Stores the y-coordinate of the current mouse move.

updateCursor

mxGraphHandler.prototype.updateCursor

Specifies if a move cursor should be shown if the mouse is over a movable cell.  Default is true.

selectEnabled

mxGraphHandler.prototype.selectEnabled

Specifies if selecting is enabled.  Default is true.

removeCellsFromParent

mxGraphHandler.prototype.removeCellsFromParent

Specifies if cells may be moved out of their parents.  Default is true.

connectOnDrop

mxGraphHandler.prototype.connectOnDrop

Specifies if drop events are interpreted as new connections if no other drop action is defined.  Default is false.

scrollOnMove

mxGraphHandler.prototype.scrollOnMove

scaleGrid

mxGraphHandler.prototype.scaleGrid
