Remarks

Use the Stencils property to register new or remove the default stencils.

See the example below.

var svgStencil = new DiagramStencil("SVGStencilId", "SVGStencilName");
using(var svgStream = File.OpenRead("Shape.svg")) {
    var svgShape = ShapeDescription.CreateSvgShape("SVGShapeId", "SVGShapeName", svgStream);
    svgStencil.RegisterShape(svgShape);
}
diagramControl.Stencils = new DiagramStencilCollection(svgStencil, BasicShapes.Stencil);

If the Stencils property is set to null, the diagram toolbox loads its stencils from the DiagramToolboxRegistrator.Stencils static collection.
