It should be possible to make a connector touch the shape instead of the
rectangle that surrounds the shape when it is selected, but I cannot
figure out how to do this. For example, when you connect a connector to a
Triangle, the connector does not make contact with the Triangle itself.
Any hints on this?
many thanks,
B

Use a different ConnectionAnchor for that shape.

Ok, so I believe I need to extend the AbstractConnectionAnchor and
override the Point getLocation(Point reference) method. Correct?
thanks,

Hi Randy,
I created my own class that extends AbstractConnectionAnchor. I
overrode the getLocation() method, but no matter what my implementation
is, the connector always attaches to the rectangle that surrounds the
shape ( in this case the shape is a diamond ). It seems to have no effect.
I even tried hardcoding a return new Point(100,100);, but it still
attaches to the rectangle around the diamond. I know I am missing
something else. Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
B

Are you sure you didn't override getReferencePoint instead?
Are you setting the anchor on the connection? Is anyone else overwriting
your anchor after you set it?
Put a breakpoint in PolylineConnection.route(), and see what your anchors
are at the time of routing.

Ahhh! The problem was I was overwriting the anchors on the connection
myself. Silly me. Thanks for the hints!
