Hi Stoyo

In the document attached to following link you will find the information about how default straight line gets generated and its behavior when nodes are re-positioned.

Similar thing is expected with cascadling line style. The document will provide the scenarios and results displayed and expected result.

http://cid-2b9bf77533900b84.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/ISSUE%20WITH%20LIN...

The expected results should be generated by default without any additional event handling. The expected things are marked in yellow color.

I tried to explain these requirements in word document since while making sample the issues i am facing is implementation of one fix breakes another implementation. Also there are other issues releated to non-anchor points which are explained in another thread.

Hi Stoyo

I checked with your suggestion about setting autoroute and re-assingn anchor property.

I also checked the implementation in WPF controls.

With WPF mindfusion control, when line style is dynamic and line style is cascadling the default line generated is from center. I think this is bug with silverlight control.

Also, the Autoroute and Reassignn anchor should come in picture when nodes or links are re-positioned. As per your suggestion it works with Anchor point as expected. When node don't have anchor point it calculates first & last point which is nearest to node. This behavior is same as you replyed in your answer. I think here it should consider the dynamic propertly when calculating the position.

I think if you fix following two thing in mindfusion silverlight code -
1. When line is drawn by default between two nodes and line style is cascading and donot have anchor points assinged, it should consider center of node [ Similar to WPF ]

2. When line style is dynamic, and autorouting = true, it should consider center of node while calculating first & last postion.

the result i will get are -
1. By default center gets considered for cascading line when anchor are not set. ( May be center considering can be done only if dynamic = true)
2. Dynamic = false, won't recalculate the first and last point but autoroute gets applied depending on node position.
3. When dynamic = true, autoroute gets applied and center is preserved.

Hi Stoyo

This is what I need - "If the end segments end up aligned to the center after few moves anyways, I suppose we could change the Dynamic behavior for cascading links so they start aligned to the center from the very beginning."

Hope you will provide me the updates for same very soon.
Also when the next version of diagramlite library will be released ?


Also just for clarification, if my queries are not clear -

The link ends are initially placed at the intersection points of the line connecting node centers and the border lines. --> This is possible in WPF but not in silverlight. First point in my query.

The other two points behaviour is same in WPF & silverlight and what you said in last para of your reply is expected.
