Not clear how to use curvy or multiple-segment lines #746

Open phlummox opened 1 year ago

phlummox commented 1 year ago

"Line" widgets are available from the "Common Shapes" and "Flowchart" collections, in flavours like "Free Line", "Straight Connector", "Multi-Segment Connector" and "Curvy Connector". (As far as I cant tell, all of these seem to be the exact same thing, but with their "mode" property changed.) However, there seems to be no information in the app or on the website about how curvy or multi-segment lines can be manipulated. Is it possible to curve "around" other widgets so as to avoid them? Or to add more segments to a multi-segment connector? Attempting to use them to connect various other items seems to give fairly random results: e.g. sometimes the "curvy" connector does indeed curve, at random spots, sometimes it doesn't.

Providing some information on what these connectors are and how to use them would be useful.
