ETL (Data Pipeline) Diagram Family

Overview

Base Control: ETLControl : MaterialControl
Namespace: Beep.Skia.ETL

The ETLControl is the root control for this diagram family. It inherits MaterialControl and provides shared port management, styling, and template methods for all nodes in the family.

This family contains 18 node types.

Node Types

Connection Points

Every node in this family exposes connection points (ports) for linking to other nodes. Port positions are computed lazily by LayoutPorts(), which runs when MarkPortsDirty() flags the layout as stale after a move or resize.

Connection Conventions

When building diagrams with this family, follow these conventions:

• Flow direction: left to right or top to bottom
• Sources have no input ports, targets have no output ports
• Transforms may have multiple inputs/outputs
• Line colors indicate data flow, error flow, or logging flow

Usage Example

Complete example showing creation, node placement, and connection:

var etl = new ETLControl
{
    X = 50, Y = 50,
    Width = 800, Height = 500
};
drawingManager.AddComponent(etl);

var src = new ETLSource { X = 100, Y = 250, Text = "SQL Server" };
var filter = new ETLFilter { X = 280, Y = 250, Text = "Filter Active" };
var transform = new ETLTransform { X = 460, Y = 250, Text = "Normalize" };
var tgt = new ETLTarget { X = 640, Y = 250, Text = "Data Warehouse" };

drawingManager.AddComponent(src);
drawingManager.AddComponent(filter);
drawingManager.AddComponent(transform);
drawingManager.AddComponent(tgt);

drawingManager.ConnectComponents(src.OutPoints[0], filter.InPoints[0]);
drawingManager.ConnectComponents(filter.OutPoints[0], transform.InPoints[0]);
drawingManager.ConnectComponents(transform.OutPoints[0], tgt.InPoints[0]);
