Exactly how is in the source, but I quote:

The connection drawing routines have a rather strong urge to follow grid
lines. Figure 8 demon-strates
this several times. From the first shape to the third one, we see that the
connection takes
a shorter route. Whenever possible, i.e. when no shapes are crossed, the
routines will take a
shortcut. I have to admit that the routines in itself are rather stupid, but
for normal use they
suffice.

Groetjes,

Berend. (-:
