Child node connection Issue [message #1818086]

Hi Experts,

I am facing some issue in connecting the child nodes in ELK. The alignment of the connections are not proper as shown below.

index.php/fa/36913/0/

I am also attaching the project file along with this. Please check and help me out. Also if anymore information is required please post it here.

Thank you!

This looks similar to the other issue you reported previously. Take another look at the ELK coordinate system. Note that the coordinates of edge bend points are always relative to the upper left corner of the node the edge is contained in. ElkUtil or ElkGraphUtil contain methods to turn relative coordinates into absolute coordinates, if that is helpful to you.

Thanks for the reply. It worked out well by using the ElkUtil.toAbsolute(KVector point, ElkNode parent).

I felt it would be useful for others to know how to use the function with an example. I am also attaching the fixed code here.
