Allow for vertical connectors #196

Closed bmmpxf closed 10 years ago

bmmpxf commented 10 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 10 years ago

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

bartvde commented 10 years ago

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

bartvde commented 10 years ago

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

sbalasub commented 10 years ago

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

bartvde commented 10 years ago

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

eshon commented 10 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 10 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
