I have unfortunately abandoned using the flowchart layout as it does not really layout my shapes for all the cases that I am using. I have resorted to laying out my nodes myself which I have done more or less.

There is a node proximity penalty which prevents the link route from going too near other nodes. However is there a corresponding penalty for other links. I have found that a lot of my links are bunched very close to each other or on top of each other. This makes it harder to follow the links. It also makes it hard to see which link text belongs to which link.

On another note does routeAllLinks change the start and end location of the links? I thought that I would set the connection point on the link and that would remain.

Thanks again

Thank you. I am using the OrthogonalRouter method which works really well for what I need.

There may be a bug though which I have fixed by doing a bit of post-processing of the links. I am using decision boxes and when using the orthoganalrouter the link stop at the bounds of the node as if it were a rectangle. Is there a setting on the router that will change this or is this a bug?

Thank anyway the solution works really well.
