Hello,

Is there any way to get the location of endpoint on the canvas of a flowchart 
connector in jsPlumb... I ld also like to get the location of the bends when a 
flowchart connector is drawn from one element to another...

you can access the 'anchor' and 'canvas' properties of each endpoint to find 
out this information:

...but the location of the corner points in the flowchart connector is not 
exposed anywhere.

anyway.

thinking about this, it's related to issue 92,  in which someone requested a 
curved flowchart connector. there's a discussion in there in which i talk about 
the need to change connectors to a series of segments.  if i did that, then it 
would be a simple matter to expose the connector segments.

i'm doing the work to switch connectors to being a series of segments for 
1.4.0. i could expose the location of the segments if you're still interested.

Yeah that could be helpful

this information is now available in the flow chart connector.  you have to 
access the connector on a connection first:

var c = jsPlumb.connect(...)
console.log(c.getConnector().getPath());

or something like

jsPlumb.select({source:"someElement"}).get(0).getConnector().getPath()

the return value is an array of { start:xx, end:xxx } points. they are relative 
to the start endpoint.
