jgraph / drawio

draw.io is a JavaScript, client-side editor for general diagramming.

About

draw.io, this project, is a configurable diagramming/whiteboarding visualization application. draw.io is jointly owned and developed by JGraph Ltd and draw.io AG.

As well as running this project, we run a production-grade deployment of the diagramming interface at https://app.diagrams.net.

The JGraph provided icons and diagram templates are licensed under the CC BY 4.0. Additional terms may also apply where the icons are originally defined by a third-party copyright holder. We have checked in all cases that the original license allows use in this project. Also see the terms for using the draw.io logo below.

Scope of the Project

draw.io is a diagramming or whiteboarding application, depending on which theme is selected. It is not an SVG editing app, the SVG export is designed only for embedding in web pages, not for further editing in other tools.

The application is designed to be used largely as-is. draw.io is not suitable as a framework for building other products from. For this try either Tldraw or Excalidraw.

Note, in particular, we don't have support for collaborative editing in this project. If this is important, one of the projects above is likely a better choice.

If you are using a draw.io project/product and have issues or questions about the editor itself, the issue tracker and discussion in this GitHub project are likely a good place to look.

Running

One way to run draw.io is to fork this project, publish the master branch to GitHub pages and the pages sites will have the full editor functionality (sans the integrations).

Another way is to use the recommended Docker project or to download draw.io Desktop.

The full packaged .war of the client and servlets is built when the project is tagged and available on the releases page.

Supported Browsers

draw.io supports Chrome 70+, Firefox 70+, Safari 11+, Opera 50+, Native Android browser 7x+, the default browser in the current and previous major iOS versions (e.g. 11.2.x and 10.3.x) and Edge 79+.

This project is not open-contribution

draw.io is also closed to contributions. We follow a development process compliant with our SOC 2 Type II process. We do not have a mechanism where we can accept contributions from non-staff members.

draw.io is not suitable as a framework for building other products from. For this try either Tldraw or Excalidraw.

drawio's Issues

Save in offline mode appears to be broken in Safari

One of my colleagues faced a problem with save to device in Safari (as well as "export as xml").

As far as I found, this branch invokes real POST-request to the /save url.
It is opened in new tab and fails, since there's no such URL in offline application, and POST-requests are not supported when app is opened from disk or served by simple file-sharing server (like python -m SimpleHTTPServer). So the resulting xml cannot be saved.

Styling is "Off"

It's obvious you guys wanted to replicate the look and feel of google docs, although, there are some inconsistencies that make the style seem fake and poorly designed. This is not because the style is bad, but because the styling is so close to google's that any inconsistencies seem like errors.

Chrome crashes when open files from google drive

1. If I and my friend open file from google drive, chrome crashes.
2. When I open file in http://draw.io page, file opens successfully.
3. It only occurs on my, friend's laptop, in my desktop it works fine.

Running draw.io with path

This might be a configuration issue, but I cannot find how to change this.
When running draw.io under a host with path, such as mydraw.io/editor/ there are some minor issues:

1. When starting the editor i get this: Resource fetch failed (404) https://mydraw.io/img/lib/clip_art/people/Nurse_Man_Red_128x128.png
2. When doing "new" I don't get any templates, in console: GET https://mydraw.io/templates/index.xml 404 (Not Found)

Both those are not using the editor/ path.

'Browser' option is not displayed on initial StorageDialog.

When opening draw.io, the StorageDialog window is displayed with a row of icons for each available storage method. Despite having local storage enabled and working, the 'browser' option is not visible on most tested browsers despite the code for it existing.

Broken ellipse after recompiling

I tried to recompile the app with ant -buildfile etc/build/build.xml all and it made all the shapes look a bit different from clean checkout, and made ellipse broken (it became rect) at all — see attached image.
Browser didn't matter, I tried Firefox 49.0 and Chromium 53.0.2785.143.
The problem was reproduced on my Ubuntu 16.10, as well as with clean Docker image with Ubuntu 14.04.

FROM ubuntu:trusty
ADD . /
WORKDIR war
RUN apt-get update -qq
RUN apt-get -y --force-yes install python3.4 patch ant openjdk-7-jdk

Unable to change font size

For some reason the web-app won't let me change the font-size. The issue happens quite irregularly and unpredictably. I'm using Firefox 49.0.2 (Most recent version at the moment of writing). I don't seem to remember this happening while I was using the chrome extension. Here is a description of what exactly happens:

1. I double click to create a text box, default font size is 18 pt.
2. I type whatever I want in the text box.
3. I select all text in the text box.
4. I click the down arrow on the font size selector until the number is 12 pt.
5. I click outside of the text box to 'get rid of the menu'
6. The font size hasn't changed? (And doesn't change while adjusting the number)

When I manually enter a number and press enter to confirm the size doesn't change and when I reopen the text box settings the size is still 18 pt. It also impossible to change the font size on existing text boxes.

Suggested Workaround:

1. Go to 'Extras' -> 'Edit Diagram'
2. Copy to your favourite text-editor
3. Do a search for the text in your text box
4. Change the 'fontSize' property to the desired value
5. Copy and paste to 'Edit Diagram' window
6. Press OK
7. Font size should be fine now

This is the code to reproduce the diagram I believe

dotted arrows option?

In my use case i need to use dotted arrows. Can this be implemented for a future iteration?

Electron Mac app?

Hello

I love working with Draw.io since I discovered it recently. Is there any intent to build a Mac app for it, perhaps using the Electron framework? Once reason specifically would be to enable use of the tool when offline.

Thanks

Can't load diagram - loops requesting googleapis with 403 response

Loading a diagram on draw.io results in the attached errors. Last week this was working fine but in the last few days this failure has started. The same error occurs navigating from google docs or going directly to draw.io and creating a new diagram.

developing and debugging shape files

Task: I would like to build improve and/or add shapes (the kind with handles and other interactive functions which are defined in /war/shapes)
Problems:

• I was unable to use unminified versions of the shapes.
• Is there any specific workflow for adding shapes? (It seems that at least the shape must be defined and a the setup in a *Sidebar-….js" file must take place, however there might be more to it)

Print Feature Crashes Browser

Each time I try and print my browser crashes and I have to restart the browser

Add hook for sidebar cell titles for i18n

Replace hard-coded strings with calls to hook passing in a key. For now, just resolve the keys back to the existing English strings.

Named styles

Add the ability to create styles and assign them a name. Objects assigned with that style are then linked to that style, which can be changed from a central location.

OneDrive for Business

First off, thanks for making such a wonderful application! It's been such a great tool for throwing ideas together over the past couple of years.

I've recently switched from using Google Drive, which worked flawlessly with this awesome app, over to OneDrive for Business, where I am now running into some problems. Fundamentally, I think the problem is on Microsoft's end with their mess of Azure AD vs. personal accounts. However, until they get that fixed it's thrown onto the app developers to handle the mayhem.

To help on that end, I was taking a look at war/js/diagramly/OneDriveClient.js#L171 and it appears that Draw.io currently uses the OneDrive Authentication and Sign-in for personal accounts. To support business accounts, it looks like a couple changes/additions would need to be made:

1. Register Draw.io with OneDrive for Business
2. Add an option to go through a similar OAuth flow to the current OneDrive support, but with a changed set of base URLs that are set up for business accounts. As far as I can tell, this shouldn't be all that different than the personal account login flow (I think it's exactly the same besides the different URLs).

I don't think there are any other discrepancies between account types besides login.

Thanks again for making this sweet tool!

AWS Hosted. Couldn't get it to work

remote exception: fork(): Cannot allocate memory

Text alignment can be changed in text editing mode, but jumps back

Reproduction:

1. Draw a (rectangle) shape
2. write some text in it. It is usually center-aligned (adhering to whatever you specified before)
3. Double click the text/mark it and change its alignment (e.g. to left-aligned):
4. Click something else:
   

What happens: The text jumps back from the right-aligned to center-aligned again
What should happen: The text should stay right aligned

Exporting as pdf links back to exp.draw.io

When I try to export an file as .pdf and then click on download or open in new window it links me to the exp.draw.io/ImageExport4/export page. As I am using it on an intranet there is no internet connection.

In addition it would be obviously much preferrable to have everything selfcontained.

Thanks.

Dropbox - Save to different folder

I'm using the dropbox integration and by default when I save a drawing its put in the Dropbox\Apps folder, however when I open an existing document through dropbox it allows me to browse my entire dropbox.

Is it possible to save to a specific folder when using the dropbox integration?

Export PNG with page size

It would be nice if there was an option to export images (PNG) using the size of the page and not only cropped down to the actual contents. This is handy in case you construct a figure from multiple layers and export them individually to build up the figure in a presentation etc.

Duplicate should place duplicated object in the same position

The current behaviour is that BOTH copy and paste, and duplicate place the new object at an offset from the original object. Other software follow some sort of standard where duplicate places the new object at the exact same position as the original.

Image blurring on export

Hi! I'm an IT Technician on OMA SPA.
We are very excited about using your editor to build an important project, but we are experiencing a lot of problems with raster images (png mostly) because they remain very blurred after export... Is there any way to fix this?
You'll find the self explanatory images below so you can easly notice the differences between original and exported:

gliffy import not working

Hello,

first of all, thanks a lot for the great draw.io project!

I've build a war file using the supplied build.xml and am running it with tomcat. Everything seems to work, except for the gliffy import. When I try to import a gliffy file the same way as it works with the cloud instance https://draw.io (either drag and drop of the gliffy file or via File -> Import), it doesn't work. There's no error message either. Dragging and dropping or Importing via the menu of other types of files works as expected.

I'm running draw.io version: 6.0.1.2

I've also noticed that the gliffy import doesn't work on the github pages demo (same behaviour):
https://jgraph.github.io/draw.io/war/index.html

Are there any additional steps required to activate the gliffy importer?

Thanks,
Christian

Client side printing missmatch preview and printout (A4 landscape)

Client side printing is behaving strangely when I want to print a landscape A4 diagram.

I tried it both with Firefox and Chrome and different printers (pdf and actual) and all give the same result, the draw.io build in preview shows the correct size of the drawing, but the printouts (and the Chrome print preview) shows it reduced in size to about 80% or so. I tried playing around with various paper and scaling settings, but it it not possible to fix it it seems.

This is on Windows 8.1 by the way, running Draw.io 6.0.1.2 on an Ubuntu 16.04 server.

Url parameter "offline=1" cause 'geSidebarTooltip' display unexpected

I put war folder into my xampp web folder,then I visit it in firefox and chrome with url http://localhost/war/index.html?offline=1&https=0 , but SidebarTooltip not displayed in normal position:

Then, I changed the url parameter offline from 1 to 0, and then I removed it, SidebarTooltip displayed as we expected:

At last, I try to access https://jgraph.github.io/draw.io/war/index.html?offline=1 ,there is the same bug, and it display notmally without parameter 'offline=1'.

Fix locked layer items from changing/attracting mouse state

When I move an object to a locked layer (in this case a simple box to act as a boundary outline for other objects) hoving over the object will change mouse state to 'move', even though it's on a locked layer. I have to turn the layer off to prevent it from changing mouse state.

running draw.io from local file system fails in Chrome and Electron

Story: As a user I want to run draw.io locally, ideally also without an internet connection.

Using Chrome/Chromium

What I tried:

1. I cloned the git repo and went to the war folder.
2. I opened index.html or app.html using chrome.

What I expected: I expected to see the where-do-you-want-to-save screen and, afterwards, the draw.io application

What happened:

• Chrome displayed the content of the index.html- page (Flowchart Maker and Online Diagram Software […] Loading... Please ensure JavaScript is enabled )
• on the devtools console, I got

app.min.js:325 XMLHttpRequest cannot load file:///home/[somefolders]/draw.io/war/stencils.xml. Cross origin requests are only supported for protocol schemes: http, data, chrome, chrome-extension, https, chrome-extension-resource.mxXmlRequest.send @ app.min.js:325
app.min.js:325

Uncaught NetworkError: Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to load 'file:///home/[somefolders]/draw.io/war/stencils.xml'.

I tried using Firefox instead, there it works without errors – I can use draw.io there without problems

(On Firefox 49.0, and Chromium 53.0.2785.143; running on Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit))

Via HTTP-Server

What I tried: I tried to run draw.io on a local server (via python -m SimpleHTTPServer):

What happened

It worked in non of the browsers:

• In Firefox: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
• In Chrome: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
  
  while the server says: code 400, message Bad request version after some (base64?) encoded lines which start right after "/images/logo-confluence.png" is loaded.

(same browser versions and OS as above)

Via Electron

What I tried

1. in the war folder, I ran npm install
2. npm start

What happened: As on Chrome, it never got beyond the initial page as it seemed to be unable to access needed javascript files, e.g. file:///home/[somefolders]/mxgraph2/javascript/src/js/mxClient.js.

Note that the repo was cloned into file:///home/[somefolders]/draw.io/ initially, so the file looked for is not even searched for in the repo.

---

Sorry for the long issue, I hope the descriptions are clear enough. Also, if you need any more extensive log files, I can provide those too.

Support for NextCloud

Is there any chance for getting support for ownCloud/NextCloud? If not, i am new to web development, but i am an experienced developer, so if i could get some pointers on where the i/o interface is and the API, i would not mind trying to add it in myself.

thank you...

generate diagrams from server side.

I am wanting to generate ERD diagrams from my code.
This would be running locally on my web server.

Maybe others have tried this.
The ERD plugin is here:
https://github.com/jgraph/draw.io/blob/master/war/shapes/er/mxER.js

I am thinking the cleanest way is to talk to the web client code from the server over a web socket, telling it what i want to be laid out on the canvas.
Is there some docs on how to do this maybe ?

Add Nextcloud as storage option?

Would be great to be able to add our own custom cloud with Nextcloud (or Owncloud) as a storage option?

cannot login through Google Drive

I cannot log in through Google Drive. There is an error with cross-origin.

It is happening only in Chrome (Version 53.0.2785.116 (64-bit))
I tried with Safari and It works well

Sandstorm.io Self Hosted: Page could not be loaded. Please try refreshing.

Fresh installation of sandstorm.io on a private server, all apps work, except this one. There's a lot of bad reviews on the sandstorm page which also mention this error.

[https://apps.sandstorm.io/app/nfqhx83vvzm80edpgkpax8mhqp176qj2vwg67rgq5e3kjc5r4cyh]

A real shame because I love this app, and appreciate the work you guys have put into it. It just doesn't seem to work out of the box.

Page could not be loaded. Please try refreshing.

Unable to easily resize currently selected shape while maintaining center

When a shape is selected, Ctrl + ScrollWheel should resize the shape while maintaining perspective and the center point.

[Ctrl =] and [Ctrl -] should do this too. [Ctrl 0] to reset to default size.

docker version ?

would be awesome if there was a docker file for this

Support of OwnCloud

It will be great to add OwnCloud support in addition to Dropbox and Google Drive to have an ability to host everything on own infrastructure.

Cloned shape dragged onto existing shape does not replace

When I click a shape on my diagram and Ctrl drag clone it, dropping it over an existing shape should perform a replace as it does when I drop a shape from the shape selector.

Dropbox 401

Hey,

Thanks for the great work.

I use draw.io for multi level flowcharts, and connect an item in the parent flowchart to the details by a link to detail file in dropbox, when I do that, it just works fine, but when after some time I come back, open the master file in draw.io from my dropbox account, and in the master file click on a link to open the detail file I get this error:

Error (401)
It seems you don't belong here! Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home.

seems to have something to do with dropbox implementation in draw.io, since it works well at the moment when I create the link, also the file still exist there, and when I edit the link, select the file from dropbox again, everything works fine, until some time later it all starts happening again.

Add "connection to shape" anchor

We can currently anchor to the various X points around a shape but there is no anchor to shape as internally used in the "connect and clone" feature. I'd like the ability to anchor to the shape so if I move the shape, the best anchoring point is automatically selected.

Export as > Save as ... Download does not work on Sandstorm

Using draw.io on Sandstorm (Oasis), the Download button on Export as > Save as does not work (no download is started, there's no sign anything happens). The Open in New Window button in the same dialog does work however, so there is a workaround to get an image or XML export.

P.S. thanks for this nice tool!

sandstorm version update

Looks like sandstorm app market pull is still on 5.6.0.3. I see the version you have 6.0.2.5 release for sandstorm in the /etc/ folder and was hoping to use this great software on my personal cloud for many projects. Hope to see it get pulled or pushed or anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Option to restrict objects to grid positions/sizes

It would be nice if you could restrict sizes and positions to the minor grid size. ie. objects can't be 101 pt wide, tall, top, right, they can only be in increments of the minor grid size.

Dark theme

Definitely need the dark theme. Like full dark, background, panels...
For more inspiration taste this screenshots from here https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/

Cardinality using Crow's foot notation does not rotate according to its proper position

Please refer to Entity 2 and Entity 3, both of them are connected however the foot head is still facing horizontally. I believe it should adjust automatically according to the proper orientation.

The blurry continues...

I changed the two parameters you suggested. The problem is resolved when importing, but when exporting the image is still compressed and then blurred.
I'm testing it in a custom environment using the embedding API.
Here's an example: https://goo.gl/OVgEWa (need to use SHIFT+DRAG here)
In my real working environment there is my server address instead of "https://www.draw.io/".

The thing is: if you download the original image (the one you see when you first open the page), then you open the editor by clicking on it, on the blank editor page you'll drag-drop the original image and then you'll click on save, you'll see that the image EXPORTED BY THE EDITOR is A LOT smaller than the original one.

Feature: Insert image from system clipboard

Story: As a user, I want to insert images to draw.io quickly.

It can be useful to be able to insert images from the clipboard to diagrams, e.g.:

• I want to improve an existing diagram and want to insert the old version for reference and documentation purposes.
• I want to create a mockup and want to reuse bits and pieces from a screenshot
• …

Why clipboard?: All can be done via image import, but export to image and importing it again is most often more cumbersome than Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V

Match Google Docs/Confluence: (image-)insert from system clipboard functions are available in google docs and in confluence, so users may be used to it already.

Option to export drawing with grid

Hi.

It would be nice to allow exporting drawing to svg / image with grid.

It is very useful to show specific dimensions, etc.

Thank you.

embedded image

I am using file > export as > SVG
with:

• embed images = true
• include a copy of my diagram = true

i thought that "embed images" would also embed a PNG of the canvas but it seems it does not. Instead it embeds widgets that happen to be images, like clip art for example.
Correct me if i am wrong here.

So, is there a way that a PNG version of the whole diagram can be included ?
For example it could be included as a base64 within the mxfile format.

Why ?
Well we work with SVG, but want to also use the same file with markdown, and so on our server we coudl extract the base64 out of the SVG

Add shapes to Favorites Grouping (saved with File)

When I right click a shape in the shape selector, I should be able to add it to my favorites. Then I can expand my favorites and leave the rest collapsed.

I find myself looking through larger groups to find the right shape over and over again. This is especially time consuming in the network shapes as many look very similar.
