Multiple imports from CSV with parent/child skews the output

Repro:

Import the following draw.io CSV file, then import it again with new ID values (e.g., append a zero to each ID and parent ID value).

The result is that imports after the initial import cause the child items inside the container to all be skewed inside the container by the x,y value of the parent item.

## Shapes and their styles
# stylename: shapeType
# label: %name%
# ignore: id
# identity: id
# left: xposn
# top: yposn
# parent: rparent
# parentstyle: shape=rect;whiteSpace=wrap;html=1;horizontal=1;horizontalStack=0;resizeParent=1;fillColor=#F0F8FF;strokeColor=#666666;perimeter=rectanglePerimeter;container=1;recursiveResize=0;collapsible=0;
##*************

a1,a0,Name1,rect,50,80
a2,a0,Name2,rect,100,120

Hi,

I found this issue while searching if there is a way to create a container shape in a csv import. I cannot find any reference to the “parent” configuration statements in the examples (found above)

# parent: parent-application
#
# parentstyle: %shapes%

I would be very interested in knowing how to use these statements, if they are supported (even if a bit buggy).

Is this something that one can experiment with?

Cheers, Christophe-Marie

By the way: thanks for the csv import! I wrote a small python library to export a python networkx graph in drawio and I will opensource it soon 🙂
