FLOWchart line control

FLOWchart line control

[Nigel King]

Sometimes lines fall on the top of other lines since they have a preference
for running up the centre of the inter cell gap (black in test mode). If one
is going {1,1} to {1,2} to {1,3} to {1,4} to {1,5} and {1,6} and one has
feedback {1,4} to {1,3} and another feedback {1,5} to {1,2} and a third
{1,6} to {1,1} then it is very difficult without using up a lot more space
and rather destroying the look.

Any help much appreciated

did you try to add 'dummy nodes' ?

Yes I did but they add rather a large space. For the occasional line I was
wondering whether dropping into metapost as an overlay or something was
possible. It is not easy to see from the code what dimensions are being used
though.

Hans, I guess this has to do again with the option to use
half-grid steps.
