DiagramLink.autoRoute Property

Gets or sets whether this link should be automatically routed to avoid crossing nodes.

Namespace: MindFusion.Diagramming
File: DiagramLink.js

 Syntax

JavaScript

get autoRoute() {}
set autoRoute(value) {}

 Property Value

Boolean

true to automatically route this link, or false otherwise.

 Remarks

If autoRoute is enabled, a link automatically finds the shortest possible path between its origin and destination that doesn't intersect obstacle nodes. The number and orientation of the link's segments are updated when the nodes it links are moved around. The positions of end points of a routed link are not changed, unless the link is also set to dynamic.

Performance Note
Auto-routing is CPU intensive operation and is triggered each time a node is moved or resized. If populating large diagrams from data, best enable this property only after creating all nodes. Alternatively, call route or routeAllLinks method explicitly when appropriate for your application.
