Releases
| Release | Date | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1.0 | 2014-11-07 | initial release of all (common) shapes. |
| 1.1 | 2014-11-10 | Gliffy does not allow more than 30 shapes per library, therefore we reorganized them with subfolders containing less than 30 shapes per folder. |
Quick Start - Installing the shapes in Gliffy
If you want to start immediately, you will need to execute the following steps:
- Download the EIP Shapes.
- Extract them to any folder.
- You should see these folders now:
- Browse to your Atlassian Jira or Confluence instance where Gliffy is installed.
- Open an existing Gliffy Drawing or start a new one.
- Then import the EIP Shapes (svg files) as described .
- Note: Gliffy does not allow more than 30 shapes per library, therefore we organize them by category. Create a library for each folder inside the zip. Then add the shapes by drag and drop to each library. The result should look like this:
- You are ready to go.
Usage Guide
The shapes are designed to work together with the builtin Gliffy shapes. Therefore some of the Shapes will be painted using Gliffy arrows and boxes.
To paint Pipes and Filters use Gliffy arrows and rectangles.
