General Links

INDEX PREVIOUS NEXT

In the Designer, an IlvGeneralLink is used to represent the links between the nodes in the diagram. You can customize the links very intuitively in the Styling Customizer through a set of tabs:

• Shape: Choose the end, the join, the crossing mode of links
• Width: Specify the width of the link, as well as minimum and maximum widths
• Skin: Allows you to specify a gradient or a texture effect
• Arrow: Specify the type of arrow or no arrow, as well as the color of the arrow
• Border: Allows you to specify the width of the border, a color for the upper edge of the border and a different color for the lower edge
• Label: Allows you to place a text label at a given distance from the link
• Tooltip: Allows you to specify a tooltip for the link
• Ports: Allows you to configure the ports to which the links are attached on a symbol.

You can also customize these aspects through CSS. Please refer to Customizing General Links in the Style Sheet in Developing with the SDK.

For details about the ports configuration, please refer to The Composite Renderer in Developing with the SDK.
