+## Description
+
+Centering items horizontally within the RadDiagram control is a common requirement. This task can be achieved by utilizing the `bringIntoView()` method of the underlying diagram widget. 
+
+This KB article also answers the following questions:
+- How to ensure all RadDiagram shapes are visible in the viewport?
+- How to automatically adjust the zoom to fit all shapes in RadDiagram?
+- How to use the `bringIntoView()` method with RadDiagram in ASP.NET AJAX?
+
+## Solution
+
+To center all or specific shapes within the RadDiagram's viewport, utilize the `bringIntoView()` method. This method can zoom out the diagram as needed to ensure all specified shapes fit within its viewport.
+
+Here's how you can implement this on the client-side `OnLoad` event of the RadDiagram:
+
+1. Define the RadDiagram in your ASP.NET AJAX page with a client-side `OnLoad` event handler:
+
+```asp
+<telerik:RadDiagram ID="RadDiagram1" runat="server">
+    <ClientEvents OnLoad="onLoad" />
+         ...
+</telerik:RadDiagram>
+```
+
+2. Implement the `onLoad` function in JavaScript to use the `bringIntoView()` method. Pass all diagram shapes to this method to ensure they are centered and visible in the diagram's viewport:
+
+```javascript
+function onLoad(diagram, args) {
+    var diagramWidget = diagram.get_kendoWidget();
+    diagramWidget.bringIntoView(diagramWidget.shapes);
+}
+```
+
+By passing the diagram's shapes to the `bringIntoView()` method, the RadDiagram will adjust its zoom level as needed to fit all shapes within the viewport, effectively centering them.
