Problem

• I'm always frustrated when I try to create a flow chart which fits on a peice of paper because I can't control the direction of the arrows.
• I would like it if you could choose which direction the arrows and the next node appeared when I add a new node because I need my flow charts to fit within printable documents which have edges and keys etc which have to be avoided and fit around.

Proposed Solution

• Add an option so that when you add a new node and an arrow with a different direction, this new direction arrow will be used will be used
