Improvements to the canvas visualization

We’ve made a number of improvements to the canvas visualization.

Enhanced flowcharting functionality

With this release, we’ve updated the canvas visualization to include much-requested flowcharting features. These improvements are:

Addition of widely-used elements: cloud, parallelogram, and triangle.
Addition of midpoint controls so that the connectors no longer have to be straight lines.
Addition of more connector styles including dashed lines as well as corner radius and direction control.
Horizontal and vertical snapping for connectors.
Addition of rounded corner styling for elements.
Ability to rotate elements in the canvas.

Universal data link support

We’ve updated data links so that you can add them to almost all elements or element properties that are tied to data. Previously, you could only add data links to text elements or elements that used the TextConfig object. This update removes that limitation.
