Appearance and Core properties
For diagram elements other than the canvas, only the Core and Appearance
tabs appear, in addition to any custom tabs that you add. When one or more
diagram links are selected, the Appearance tab displays the following additional
properties.
The Smoothness properties add a “humanized” look to links, essentially giv-
ing them a hand-drawn appearance. The oblique routing style routes lines in a
direct manner. Rectilinear inserts 90° bends when routing, and Tree routing com-
bines links when they share a common target. Avoid Obstructions and Closest
Distance are self-explanatory. Jump links provide the option to insert “jumps”
where one line crosses another. Various styles and position options are available,
as shown in Figure 10-7. Generally, line crossing is considered bad form, but it
is sometimes unavoidable. Finally, the Lines and Arrows section enables you to
change the line width, style, and end type of links. Currently, these capabilities
are not available for generated diagrams.
