Two questions this time which I can't find solutions for in the documentation...

1) I need to (optionally) disable drop shadows on links, seperately from nodes. I can easily do this when the user is drawing links (InitializeLink handler), but not so easily when creating links programatically. There are many places in my code where links are created programatically, and I would rather not have to edit the shadow colour at each place! Is there an alternative that I have missed for setting link shadow colour / properties globally, seperatly from the node shadows?

2) I have a slight problem with self-connected nodes. The links for these draw as "loopback" arrows, which is fine when a user draws the link. When adding such a link programatically however (for example when recreating my diagram from my underlying data structure) a problem occurs. The link is drawn, joining the anchor points it should join, but as a straight line rather than as a "loopback". The result of this is that the link becomes difficult / imposible to see, especially when the source and destination anchor point are the same (the link length is 0)!

Any help on these issues is, as ever, greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

xan
