Proposal: Edge offset property
fromOffset
and toOffset
property
Currently creating three edges between a pair of nodes will create this clutter:
This is of course not very useful, and I therefor propose fromOffset
and toOffset
. The properties store an integer
for the pixel offset of the edge. Where 0
is center of the side, positive being 'up' the side and negative being 'down' it. Meaning a positive offset will push the edge towards the positive axis of the side. For example, with toSide: 'bottom'
will toOffset: -100
push the edge arrow 100 pixels towards -x (left).
Offsets other than 0
need to be clamped with in sideLength/2
and -sideLength/2
, as the edge shouldn't be able to start and end past the node side.
The properties are optional
and default to 0
(the center) when not defined.
// Edge object
{
...properties,
"fromOffset": 0,
"toOffset": 100
},
-
fromOffset
(optional, integer) is the pixel offset on the side where this edge starts. -
toOffset
(optional, integer) is the pixel offset on the side where this edge ends.
This proposal shouldn't be considered done. I will try to accommodate any feedback.
