Supported BPMN Elements

Note	The short term support roadmap is available in Github milestones

The following presents BPMN elements that can be displayed by the lib and states which is their rendering status i.e. if the BPMN elements are rendered with their final shapes.

The default rendering uses white as fill color and black as stroke color.

Tip

Legend for rendering status [check circle] considered as stable (only minor changes may occurred) [check circle o] early access (1st attempt) [flask] experimental (subject to change) no status means that are arbitrary rendering is used (i.e. not following the BPMN specification requirements), generally using a dedicated color to identify the shape among others
