Make connection point always static relative to anchor [message #1701515] Mon, 13 July 2015 19:44 Go to next message

When creating connection between two anchors the connection start and end are positioned relative to where connection are starting and ending. For example, in screenshot below connection start from container 1 originates from North of the anchor and connection end of container 2 ends in South of anchor.

Is there way to position connection end points so that start is always from East of anchor and end is always to West of anchor, just like in connection between container 2 and 3?

Alex,

have you trie dto use BoxRelativeAnchors or FixPointAnchors instead of the
default ChopboxAnchor? They can be positioned right on the edge where you
want the connection to start/end and you can define the visualization to
e.g. be a point only. That should help in the start/end point of the
connection.

The direction of the connection can only be influenced when you are not
using ManhattanConnections. They are routed by the GEF framework according
to a layouting algorithm that cannot be influenced. Using free form
connections would suite better I guess.

HTH,
Michael
