Subject: FLOWcharts - connector line length?
Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 10:30:26 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAGbDsP0m4MnHtuKzy=AVaX_b-kFM_K_umbn0eVB+NO6c_C2W6A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I've just fallen in love with the chart module, my first flowchart is
almost done. I'll never draw these "by hand" again... Besides, it
seems that the chart module forces me to do flowcharts "right", that
should help with consistency and legibility. Now I just have to read a
bit on how to do charts properly!

I've figured out about text font and box sizes and making connections
and all that, but there's one important question that I just can't
seem to find the answer for: how do I adjust the connector line
length? My labels just don't fit between the boxes and I'd have a
whole A4 for a ny=5 flowchart, so I'd have space...


(Oh, the other question is: is there a way to span a cell across
several slots on the grid? If not, I can deal with *that*, the line is
a lot more of a problem.)



Thank you in advance,

Mari
