Information-Rich Diagrams
Create elegant diagrams, flow, and org charts
The DevExpress WPF Diagram control allows you to incorporate fully customizable diagrams within any WPF software project. Our WPF Diagram component allows users to draw diagrams from scratch, load visualizations from an XML file, or generate visual relationships from a data source.
With the fully integrated Diagram Designer you can build your best inside Visual Studio or allow users to modify diagrams within your WPF app at runtime. Visual Studio Smart tags help you easily add a Ribbon UI, a Toolbox, and our Pan/Zoom/Property Panels to your WPF app.
Our WPF Diagram control includes over 130 shapes, images, containers, connectors, and lists. You can also import SVG graphics and use them as a basis for custom shapes. Default shapes include:
- Basic Shapes
- FlowChart Shapes
- SDL Diagram Shapes
- Decorative and Arrow Shapes

Connectors & Routing
Shape it and route it automatically
Our WPF Diagram Connector tool helps you connect any two shapes or points directly on its canvas. You can customize line color, weight, and style, control the look of end points and arrows. You can curve or angle connectors as needed and can manage connection points in a variety of ways. You can also add, edit, or delete text for your connector.
When you use our automatic connector routing option, you don't have to manually rearrange connectors and shapes. The connector will route itself around shapes that are in the way and it will find the best point on which to connect to a shape.
