can links be merged?

Suppose 2 nodes both point to the same 3rd node. Can these 2 links be merged at the label? Example http://cmap.ihmc.us/conceptmap.html ... where the nodes "CmapTools" and "CmapServers" both link at the label "can be" ... and then continue on to point at the 3rd node "Downloaded"?

There's no out-of-the-box support for this. You can implement it via an intermediate node that displays the label, where the merged links are replaced with two new ones pointing to the intermediate node and one going out from it. The intermediate node could be a ShapeNode with Transparent set to true or a ControNode that wraps a TextBlock.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Thanx for reply.
The ability to merge links is a very common part of building Concept Maps ... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concept_maps.
It is a key feature that I will have to use your "work around" ... until, hopefully, this ability is added to DiagramLite.
Thanx again for the info.
