Main connection points #5

Open sdteffen opened 11 years ago

sdteffen commented 11 years ago

high quality dia shapes have one main connection point. It's marked with main="yes" in the connection point tag. Example:

Could you add such definitions to the shapes?

Some just don't have a main connection point (2 equally worthy connections) and some don't need to be connected at all. (Please advise :p)

For those that don't have to be connected at all: Just add one main connection point at the center. It does not harm when you don't connect it. For Those with 2 equally worthy connections: Either add a central main connection point or make one of the two points (e.g. the first coming from top-left) the main connection point.

Ok willdo: also found a solution to fix the main connection point for some: "use the point where you are most likely to connect the most things to"

"For those that don't have to be connected at all: Just add one main connection point at the center. It does not harm when you don't connect it." Been playing with it: it does harm ... now lines are beeing attached to symbols indicating info about the line ... This is not helping... Atm i'm really tempted not to add connection points for those, as they are making things quirky ...
