Customizing User Interaction

yFiles for HTML provides a wide range of user interactions for creating and editing diagrams. These user interactions are highly configurable, allowing you to: * Impose constraints on user actions. * Change the visible feedback during interaction. * Modify existing gestures. * Introduce entirely new ways to interact with the diagram.

This section describes how to customize the various user interactions supported by yFiles for HTML. For a general overview of user interactions, see User Interaction.

Most user interactions are handled by an IInputMode. Coordinating Different Kinds of User Interactions explains how to coordinate these input modes to prevent conflicts.

Some customizations require a deeper understanding of specific design patterns or API concepts. General Concepts for Customization provides a general explanation of the most important concepts.
