All Versions of Boxes And Arrows

More1.6.5
September 28, 2018
New Features
- Subgraph image as summary
A generated image of the box-subgraph is now provided by the summary-robot as an alternative to the text-summary. Everything a box shows in the summary field can be set per box. You can choose the 'default automatic mode' in which the summary-robot decides what to show. Either text- or image-summary or the user-given summary text, or you explicitely decide what you want to see in the summary-field.
- Summary content control
Via the eye-control buttons in the background tab, it is possible to control wether or not a box is visible in a robot-summary. Use the 'open eye' to show a box/title, the 'closed eye' to hide it. The third button leaves it to the summary-robot whether to include a box in a summary or not. If you use this for background-boxes also all boxes above are affected. Hint: Try just one backgound-box with 'open eye' and look at the resulting robot-summaries.
Improvements
- Title-Summary-Layout fine tuned
If the box tile height is relatively small compared to the box-height, the space (height) for the title is now less than the golden ratio. The title height is limited to the number of textlines and twice the lineheight for the title.
- Drag-Into fine tuned
You have to move a dragged box out of a boxes' area before you can drag it back into the same box. Thus unintentional 'drag into gestures' are prevented.
Bugs fixed
- Two memory leaks are closed, which led to crashes after longer and intense use of the app.
- DragToSupergraph crashed in latemove situations fixed.
- Arrows no longer get lost in dropinto subgraph gesture.
More1.6.3
May 11, 2018
New Features
- Boxdesign roboter
A "roboter" coumputes the design for a new box by looking at the boxdesigns used and the inital positioning of the new box. To use this feature select the robo-design as the template prefigured for boxes by double tapping it in the template's bar.
- Drop into gesture
You can now drop boxes into other boxes: If a box is dragged over another box and you hold your finger on the screen the box you dragged over starts to flash for a short duration. If you lift your finger during that time, the box dragged is dropped into the flashing one. This is useful for fast sorting away boxes from a graph to subgraphs.
Improvements
- Alingment lines fine tuned
The alingmentlines's stickiness is reworked and the alingmentlines now treat groups of boxes moved as one great box.
Bugs fixed
- Drag to subgraph could result in a crash.
More1.6.2
March 31, 2018
New Features
- Autolayout for boxes
With autolayout the box shows the 'title-only-layout' if it contains no subgraph, and the 'title-and-summary' layout if it has as subgraph.
Bugs fixed
- App no longer chrashes in iOS 11.3 when opening a graph.
- Drag out of subgraph could result in a crash.
More1.6.1
March 4, 2018
New Features
- Drag into/out of subgraph
If a box is dragged over another box and held for a moment, it is dragged into the subgraph inside that box and the view jumps "inside" that graph. Inside a box showing the subgraph there is a grey area at the top of the screen. Dragging a box into that area and holding it for a moment, drags the box out of the current graph an jumps to the graph "above".
- Subgraph topbar
A grey bar at the top of the editor is now shown in a subgraph. It shows a path to the subgraph.
Bugs fixed
- Pushing the Snapshot-Button in iOS 11.2 no longer crashes.
More1.6.0

Description of Boxes And Arrows
Boxes And Arrows (B'nA) provides the most simplistic usage to create graphs of boxes and arrows.
Ideal whenever you need to track or develop ideas or structure your thoughts. A tool that allows you to work in the flow because it provides the flexibility of graphs and a gesture-centric lightweight usage. With B'nA you can concentrate on your thoughts, not on the tool.
You may use it like a classical mind mapping app or go beyond:
- You can structure your graphs by using the background layer thus forming diagrams.
- You can keep a lot of information in a well-arranged way by using the subgraph feature.
- You can use the 'export graph to text'-, 'copy text into a map'- or 'snapshot'-features to incorporate it into your work.
Basic Gestures
- to add a box: tap
- to edit the text of a box: double tap
- to move a box: drag it.
- to add an arrow between two boxes: tap first box, than tap second box. (The tap of the first box is indicated by a thicker box-frame, it times out.)
- to delete an arrow, slash it out: one finger stroke from bottom left to top right crossing the arrow. (A red line will indicate your gesture.)
- to delete a box, slash it out: one finger stroke from bottom left to top right crossing the box. (A red line will indicate your gesture.)
- to select boxes: draw a line around them (A blue line will indicate your gesture)
- to jump inside a box: tap, wait, double tap.
- to drag one box inside another: drag it over another box and hold
Typical usages
- take and organise notes
- keep an personal KANBAN
- capture and rework an argumentation during discussions
- sketch business-charts
- prepare workshops and capture results
- visualise your own thoughts
- keep a simple and flexible to-do list
- build a storyline
- sketch an org-chart
- create cause-and-effect graphs
