## vCortex 0.1.47 Released – Introducing the New **Flow Diagram** Component

We’re excited to announce the release of **vCortex 0.1.47** , featuring a powerful new component: **Flow Diagram**. This component empowers developers and engineers to create **customizable, node-based flow diagrams** with full editing capabilities and interactive behavior—all within **Ignition Perspective**.

[Direct Download](https://i4cortex.com/download/4296/?tmstv=1733860350&ebduid=6cda3bd385)

The **Flow Diagram** component allows you to visually build logic, workflows, or systems using connected nodes. Each node:

- Can display an **embedded view** (Perspective View),
- Supports a **custom number of connection handles** (input/output),
- Allows **interactive linking** between nodes.

It’s designed to streamline building complex interactive diagrams that adapt to your specific use case.  
Here are just a few applications for this powerful new tool:

1. **Material Track and Trace Genealogy**
2. **ESD (Emergency Shutdown) Diagrams**
3. **Energy Flow Visualization**
4. **Interactive P&ID Editors**
5. **Logic Diagrams** (CFC/SFC)
6. **Recipe Management Tools**
7. **Automated Workflow Designers**
8. **Business Goals and KPI Tracking**

### Included: Demo Project (Playground)

To make adoption easy, we’ve included a **demo project** (playground) alongside the module installation. This gives you hands-on examples and a complete working environment.

For more information please refer to our manual in the designer:

Here are some examples:  
**Realtime P&ID Editor:**

- Draw P&ID base on predefine devices
- Resizing the devices
- Upload and download diagram
- Search on devices on diagram

**Applying Layouting Algorithms**

Applying different layouting algorithms on nodes when node are generated by code(coming from database) and don't have positions. A good example is Material Genealogy Diagram which lot events comes from database.
