Description ervin_8 2003-03-24 02:24:11 UTC 
the connectors of the parallelogram shape is not aligned (the center 
part) so if you will connect it to other shapes, the whole flowchart will 
not look good

Though I agree the diagram would look better with aligned
connections - I'm not entirely sure how to deal with
parallelograms where the upper left corner is right
of the lower right corner (can happen for huge angles)
Anyway improving this would be an 'enhancement'

Thanks for the patch. Can you please attach it uncompressed.
(I'm assuming you already used diff -u).

Showing center point in action

Thanks for the patch, but as you can see from the above screenshot
it is not any longer needed to solve the issue.
Recently there was the connection 'center point' introduced. Now
one can connect both lines to it and the are automagically only
drawn to the border of the object. So every other cp can stay
where it was (backward compatibility) and still the diagram
can be aligned.
Comment 10 Nikolaj Krivchenkov 2005-05-13 12:29:42 UTC 
Center Points works fine. Big thanks!
