WIP Add Object Alternative view

[brendanlaschke]

Current state:

I have some things im not really happy with right now:

• If I have different connections it would be weird to display a one_one or many_one connection differently
• The edges overlay always at one hand at the source/target (also being a problem with the 3 dots vs 1 dot)
• I would have to do 4 versions of the 3 dot marker variant as an svg with exactly the same width as the edges wich is not as easy as it seems :)
• The initial layout is not really great - I know dagre or elkjs could solve this but maybe there is a better solution ...

If someone has a good idea for one or more of the problems im happy to integrate them ;)

Just pushed some changes its now somewhere between doing connections on all fields (which im a fan of but not had the time to reimplement on the new design) and the version showing only one connection per object.

Really great work!!! I agree having the connections at the field level would make this more useful. I pushed a basic implem of dagre. I'm not sure if it's much better, the positioning is nicer. But it seems it broke fitview somehow? Or is it only for me?

I just have done the work on the field based edges:

Initally it now looks like this:

Do you mean this with not fitted?
