Hi,
We need to route links (polyline) orthogonaly.
The QuickRouter seems to do the job, but when a link like "]" is drawn the horizontal segments are too big and the vertical segment is too far from nodes.
The GridRouter doesn't draw the links orthogonally.
How to solve this?
Thanks,
Cornel

Hi Stoyan,
We cannot set the style to Cascading because we need polylines. Only the route proposed should be orthogonal when users ask for that.
We tried to set the style to Cascading before route and then to set it back to Polyline but the results were not what we expected. The QuickRouter routes polylines orthogonally, the only problem is that a lot of space is taken, like in the picture bellow:


The link between B-T02 and B-A02 is routed too far from the nodes; also the link between B-A02 and B-T03.
How to fix this?
Thanks,
Cornel

Hi Stoyan,
I already did that, but the problem is that when I change the style the origin and destination points change.
This morning I read the post http://mindfusion.eu/Forum/YaBB.pl?board=fcnet_disc;action=display;num=126874717... and after that I did the following: first I keep the original origin and destination points; then I change the style, set back origin and destination, clone the control points, set back the style and then set the control points:

...
            PointF oldOrigin = this.ControlPoints[0];
            PointF oldDestination = this.ControlPoints[this.ControlPoints.Count - 1];
            LinkStyle oldStyle = this.Style;

            this.Style = LinkStyle.Cascading;
            this.ControlPoints[0] = oldOrigin;
            this.ControlPoints[this.ControlPoints.Count - 1] = oldDestination;
            this.UpdateFromPoints(false, false);

            bool retval = base.Route();

            PointCollection points = this.ControlPoints.Clone();

            this.Style = oldStyle;
            this.ControlPoints.Clear();
            this.ControlPoints.AddRange(points);
            this.UpdateFromPoints(true, true);

 ...
  

It works now. Thank you!

About the QuickRouter:
When that property will be available? In the next release?

I can't send it because it is just a picture.
I created something similar using the Demo program; I'll send that xml to support.

Thanks.
