mxClient

Bootstrapping mechanism for the mxGraph thin client. The production version of this file contains all code required to run the mxGraph thin client, as well as global constants to identify the browser and operating system in use.

IS_MT

True if -moz-transform is available as a CSS style. This is the case for all Firefox-based browsers newer than or equal 3, such as Camino, Iceweasel, Seamonkey and Iceape.

IS_SVG

IS_SVG: navigator.userAgent.indexOf( 'Firefox/' ) >

NO_FO

NO_FO: !document.createElementNS || document.createElementNS(
'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
'foreignObject'
) !

IS_VML

IS_VML: navigator.appName.toUpperCase()

True if the browser supports VML.

IS_MAC

True if the client is a Mac.

IS_TOUCH

True if this device supports touchstart/-move/-end events (Apple iOS, Android, Chromebook and Chrome Browser on touch-enabled devices).

IS_POINTER

True if this device supports MS pointer events.

IS_LOCAL

True if the documents location does not start with http:// or https://.

Functions

isBrowserSupported

isBrowserSupported: function()

Returns true if the current browser is supported, that is, if mxClient.IS_VML or mxClient.IS_SVG is true.

Example

if (!mxClient.isBrowserSupported())
{
  mxUtils.error('Browser is not supported!', 200, false);
}

link

link: function( rel,
href,
doc )

Adds a link node to the head of the document. Use this to add a stylesheet to the page as follows:

mxClient.link('stylesheet', filename);

where filename is the (relative) URL of the stylesheet. The charset is hardcoded to ISO-8859-1 and the type is text/css.

Parameters

rel	String that represents the rel attribute of the link node.
href	String that represents the href attribute of the link node.
doc	Optional parent document of the link node.

include

include: function( src )

Dynamically adds a script node to the document header.

In production environments, the includes are resolved in the mxClient.js file to reduce the number of requests required for client startup. This function should only be used in development environments, but not in production systems.

dispose

dispose: function()

Frees up memory in IE by resolving cyclic dependencies between the DOM and the JavaScript objects.

Variables

mxLoadResources

Optional global config variable to toggle loading of the two resource files in mxGraph and mxEditor. Default is true. NOTE: This is a global variable, not a variable of mxClient.

<script type="text/javascript">
     var mxLoadResources = false;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/core/directory/js/mxClient.js"></script>

mxResourceExtension

Optional global config variable to specify the extension of resource files. Default is true. NOTE: This is a global variable, not a variable of mxClient.

<script type="text/javascript">
     var mxResourceExtension = '.txt';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/core/directory/js/mxClient.js"></script>

mxLoadStylesheets

Optional global config variable to toggle loading of the CSS files when the library is initialized. Default is true. NOTE: This is a global variable, not a variable of mxClient.

<script type="text/javascript">
     var mxLoadStylesheets = false;
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/core/directory/js/mxClient.js"></script>

basePath

Basepath for all URLs in the core without trailing slash. Default is ‘.’. Set mxBasePath prior to loading the mxClient library as follows to override this setting:

<script type="text/javascript">
     mxBasePath = '/path/to/core/directory';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/core/directory/js/mxClient.js"></script>

When using a relative path, the path is relative to the URL of the page that contains the assignment. Trailing slashes are automatically removed.

imageBasePath

Basepath for all images URLs in the core without trailing slash. Default is mxClient.basePath + ‘/images’. Set mxImageBasePath prior to loading the mxClient library as follows to override this setting:

<script type="text/javascript">
     mxImageBasePath = '/path/to/image/directory';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/core/directory/js/mxClient.js"></script>

When using a relative path, the path is relative to the URL of the page that contains the assignment. Trailing slashes are automatically removed.

language

Defines the language of the client, eg. en for english, de for german etc. The special value ‘none’ will disable all built-in internationalization and resource loading. See mxResources.getSpecialBundle for handling identifiers with and without a dash.

Set mxLanguage prior to loading the mxClient library as follows to override this setting:

<script type="text/javascript">
     mxLanguage = 'en';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mxClient.js"></script>

If internationalization is disabled, then the following variables should be overridden to reflect the current language of the system. These variables are cleared when i18n is disabled. mxEditor.askZoomResource, mxEditor.lastSavedResource, mxEditor.currentFileResource, mxEditor.propertiesResource, mxEditor.tasksResource, mxEditor.helpResource, mxEditor.outlineResource, mxElbowEdgeHandler.doubleClickOrientationResource, mxUtils.errorResource, mxUtils.closeResource, mxGraphSelectionModel.doneResource, mxGraphSelectionModel.updatingSelectionResource, mxGraphView.doneResource, mxGraphView.updatingDocumentResource, <mxCellRenderer.collapseExpandResource>, mxGraph.containsValidationErrorsResource and mxGraph.alreadyConnectedResource.

defaultLanguage

Defines the default language which is used in the common resource files. Any resources for this language will only load the common resource file, but not the language-specific resource file. Default is ‘en’.

Set mxDefaultLanguage prior to loading the mxClient library as follows to override this setting:

<script type="text/javascript">
     mxDefaultLanguage = 'de';
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mxClient.js"></script>

languages

Defines the optional array of all supported language extensions. The default language does not have to be part of this list. See <mxResources.isLanguageSupported>.

<script type="text/javascript">
     mxLanguages = ['de', 'it', 'fr'];
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mxClient.js"></script>

This is used to avoid unnecessary requests to language files, ie. if a 404 will be returned.
