Avoid Connection Overlapping

[Edward]

Hello,

I'm working on a diagram, but when two or more nodes target the same node, the link overlap.

How can I fix this?

Hi Edward,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

You can achieve your requirement by enabling the diagram’s Line Routing and Line Bridging. Please refer our online user guide documents from the below link.

Hi, on simple diagrams it works, but in complex still happens

Hi Edward,

Thanks for your patience.

For your requirement, we suggest you to use different port for the node to prevent from link overlapping.Please refer the code snippet below to achieve this,

[C#]
//Rectangle Node 1
rect1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(100, 400, 100, 40);

//Rectangle Node 2
rect2 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(300, 100, 100, 40);

//Rectangle Node 3
rect3 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.Rectangle(200, 200, 100, 40);



Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.OrthogonalConnector connector = new OrthogonalConnector( new System.Drawing.PointF(50, 50), new System.Drawing.PointF(50, 50));
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.OrthogonalConnector connector1 = new OrthogonalConnector(new System.Drawing.PointF(50, 50), new System.Drawing.PointF(50, 50));

rect1.EnableCentralPort = false;

//creating Custom port for the node
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.ConnectionPoint cp = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.ConnectionPoint();
Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.ConnectionPoint cp1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Diagram.ConnectionPoint();
rect1.Ports.Add(cp);
rect1.Ports.Add(cp1);
rect1.Ports[0].OffsetX = 10;
rect1.Ports[1].OffsetX = 50;

rect1.Ports[0].TryConnect(connector.TailEndPoint);
rect2.CentralPort.TryConnect(connector.HeadEndPoint);
rect1.Ports[1].TryConnect(connector1.TailEndPoint);
rect3.CentralPort.TryConnect(connector1.HeadEndPoint);

We have created a simple sample to demonstrate this and the same can be downloaded from the below link,

Please try the above sample and let me know if this is your actual requirements.
