Custom Line Points for Untangling Reference Lines
A GraphQL schema rarely stays simple for long — once types start implementing interfaces, resolving unions and referencing each other across a growing schema, the connecting lines on your diagram can turn into a tangle fast. Take control of exactly how they route: Ctrl+click a selected line to drop a custom waypoint and bend it exactly where you want, Ctrl+double-click a point to remove it, or use the right-click menu to add a point at the cursor or clear every point from a line in one go.
Points snap into line with a neighboring point or anchor, so a connection between two types stays perfectly straight, and holding Shift while dragging locks its movement to a single axis. Whichever line mode you're using, points render exactly as expected — straight segments in basic mode, or a smooth curve running precisely through every point in curved mode.
Orthogonal Routing for Schema Diagrams That Read Like Documentation
Give your GraphQL schema diagram the clean, blueprint look of real API documentation with two new orthogonal line modes: horizontal/vertical-only routing instead of diagonals, with your choice of detailed field-to-field line mode or basic mode that allows anchors to be at any side of an object.
Pair orthogonal routing with the new custom line points for a fully hand-tuned, rectilinear layout — points on an orthogonal line always stay on the grid, so a connection between two types never sneaks off at an angle. The result is a schema diagram you can hand to another engineer, or drop straight into your API docs, without redrawing a thing.
New Assets for Annotating Your Schema
Not every detail about a GraphQL schema belongs inside a type definition. Use the new graphical assets to annotate your diagram directly — flag a field as deprecated, note which resolver backs a type, or sketch the data flow behind a query — without cluttering the schema itself. Combine them with flowcharts and data flow elements to document the bigger picture around your API, right next to the types it describes.
Single File HTML Report for Easy Sharing
Sharing documentation used to mean a whole folder of files — HTML, stylesheets, icons, images — that could easily lose a piece along the way. Not anymore. Generate a report as a single, self-contained HTML file: no separate styles, no icons, no images to misplace. Attach it to an email, drop it in a shared drive, or publish it on an intranet — open it on any machine and it looks exactly the same, with nothing left behind.
Other improvements
Version 12.6.2
- UI/UX: Resize from any corner or edge — not just the bottom right. When your diagram includes ER entities, data flow elements, swimlanes, or custom graphics, being able to pull an object in exactly the direction you need saves you from the tedious resize-then-reposition dance. Your objects stay where you want them, and your diagram stays readable.
- Cleaner diagrams: Automatic line routing picks shorter, less cluttered paths
- Visual fix: Lines no longer misrender when you drag objects across the canvas
Version 12.6.1
- Rendering improvements: Fixing issues with diagram rendering after changing diagram properties and after re-positioning fields in a collection
- Fixed issue with license re-validation in another instance of Galaxy Modeler
Version 12.6
