Prevent overlapping the connections

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi simon:
    Is there any property or function  can prevent overlapping the connections as attached ?
    Because when i use "jsPlumb.connect({ source: from, target: to });" for times,  the connections would be overlapped by each other, so that's the problem.

you need an layout-algorithm to prevent overlapping the connection.

e.g. sugiyama algorithm

when you use the connect method, jsplumb assigns Endpoints at default locations 
and joins them together. so repeatedly calling that method just results in four 
Connections that are on top of each other, right.

the solution for this depends on your specific application.  i can't really 
tell what you need from that screenshot, but 'connect' is really just there as 
a convenience method.  for more serious applications you should add your own 
endpoints (using 'addEndpoint'), and use the anchor parameter to position them 
at different places.
