Allow for vertical connectors #196

Closed bmmpxf closed 9 years ago

bmmpxf commented 9 years ago

Since the process canvas has a narrow width, having an option to make connections vertical (even perhaps by default) might make a lot of sense for many.

You can drag things manually, at least, but you can see what it ends up looking like:

bartvde commented 9 years ago

not sure if this is feasible so late in the project @bmmpxf what is your screen size?

bartvde commented 9 years ago

I'll look into it though, but it also means updating all screenshots in the test plan

bartvde commented 9 years ago

@eshon @sbalasub do you have any thoughts on this one?

sbalasub commented 9 years ago

@bartvde @bmmpxf you can increase the size of the canvas horizontally.

bartvde commented 9 years ago

yeah I think @bmmpxf is testing on a very low resolution right? My testing has been on 1440 x 900

eshon commented 9 years ago

I really don't think this is necessary and it could be a lot of work, there are zoom out buttons in the canvas.

bmmpxf commented 9 years ago

This is more of a nice-to-have, and not a bug.

But I'm not testing on a particularly small screen. Having three panels in an app separated by vertical lines (with no option to make them horizontal (which would also be a good option)) is just going to introduce a width issue in many cases.

This is an experimental app, more of a proof-of-concept for IQT. Usability is important as always, but responsive screen sizes are just a lower priority right now.

I am not going to work on this one for this round, so moving into milestone FUTURE
