Hello everybody,
In GEF editor, i dont want to join two nodes by a straight line, i want to
join it by using for e.g. a L shaped line(connection)

Example :

node1
|
|
----------> node2

I dont want a dashed line, but a solid line. I may even want to join 2
nodes by using different shaped line. L shaped line, i just gave it as an
example.
Is this possible? How?
If it is not possible, then is it a good idea, to treat connection as a
node and extend it from AbstractGraphicalEditPart instead of
AbstractConnectionEditPart. So, now in createFigure function of class
extending AbstractGraphicalEditPart, i can draw the line how ever i want
to.

Thank you very much
Best Regards
Shruthi

I don't have a lot of experience with working with connections, but it
seems like draw2d may already have a way to do this with the
ManhattanConnectionRouter.

U can do one thing just implement a connection with bendpoint
policy and set the property for bendpoints.

Yes, this is exactly what the ManhattanConnectionRouter does :)
