Junction Points

Type: output
Identifier: org.eclipse.elk.junctionPoints
Meta Data Provider: core.options.CoreOptions
Value Type: org.eclipse.elk.core.math.KVectorChain
Default Value: new KVectorChain() (as defined in org.eclipse.elk)
Applies To: edges
Legacy Id: de.cau.cs.kieler.junctionPoints

Description

This option is not used as option, but as output of the layout algorithms. It is attached to edges and determines the points where junction symbols should be drawn in order to represent hyperedges with orthogonal routing. Whether such points are computed depends on the chosen layout algorithm and edge routing style. The points are put into the vector chain with no specific order.
