Persisting x and y coordinates of a kendo diagram

Question

How would kendo diagram shapes x,y coordinates be persisted. I've able to saved it's x,y coords to the database but still the diagram will rearranged the shapes to its default arrangement although it was already set as what I have in the datasource.

Does anyone here knows on what was happening?

Answer 1

I can't say anything certain without seeing your source code but I guess that you have layout option in your diagram configuration which automaticaly rearrange positions of your shapes and connections. for further information check this: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/diagram/layout

If you share your code, I can help more.

Answer 2

Kendo diagram picks up the default 'tree down' layout and this overrides the x,y coordinates. To use no layout, you can use:

    $("#diagram").kendoDiagram({
            .......
            layout: false,
            .......
    });
