Users are also looking for the option for their 'group' to access all of these custom shapes (vs. having the upload them individually).
This feature is useful for API customers.
Dito! Voted and watching and waiting. Without custom shapes Gliffy is pretty useless to me. I can't build the complex diagrams I need to.
See GLIFFY-1353 which is similar, and might solve for a lot of the shapes needs....
I've voted for this and for 1353. As stated, 1353 will solve the problem for those with Visio diagrams, or the ability to create them (i.e. a software licence). However, this (issue 235) is a more general development that enables many other pictures to be incorporated. Perhaps we coiuld have another Library - My Imported shapes ?
Agree that this is a critical issue to deploy for those of us designing unique apps.
This seems like a must have if Gliffy wants to get a bigger market share. To me the future success of gliffy and the usefulness for existing or potential customers seems to be directly linked to the availability of shapes.
What about doing it the web 2.0 way? Build something like a "shape store", a platform where the community (customers or designers or anybody who cares) can offer shapes and whole shape libraries for free or sell them... Ideally this platform would also provide a shape editor, or import capabilites vor SVGs and Visio shapes (since they are very popular) What do you think? We're really looking for functionality to create and add our own libraries - specifically an engineering library with more detailed engineering diagrams. This is a core requirement of ours, and will possibly dictate whether we continue using Gliffy, or opt for a more standard solution (such as MS Visio).
I use both visio and gliffy. I prefer to use gliffy (because it is built in to the confluence system we use), but for serious stuff in ONLY use visio.
For one reason: stencils Until gliffy can import visio stencils, it is essentially a toy. A good, useful toy. But not for the serious. Hope this changes soon!! In our most recent releases we introduced an under the hood update: Shapes2
The new Venn diagrams shapes and the sitemap shapes are examples of the Shapes2 framework. Our Shapes2 framework had several design goals in mind:
Right now, we have several tools that we are using to build our shapes in Gliffy, but we don't feel like these tools are good enough to share just yet. I promise you we are moving in the direction of providing users with a way to build their own shapes. Here is how we think this will work.... we'd love to get feedback from you.
The trick here is that some shapes can be really simple (for example the Venn shapes are only 1 asset each) and others are really complex (the sitemap shapes have 27 assets in each shape.... fortunately many of the assets are reused). Because of the complexities involved, we feel like providing a preview tool is absolutely critical to making it easy to put these things together. Anyway, there is a quick update for you on where this is headed... again, we would love to hear any feedback you might have about this. best, Chris Kohlhardt In the Gliffy Plugin for Confluence version 3, which was released last week at the Atlassian Summit the following new Shapes2 shapes were added:
-chris When will Gliffy for Confluence support custom shape libraries that can be created by the user and then shared with others?
Hi Michael,
We don't have an ETA for this feature yet. best, -chris |
