Hello,
Once again, let me say that the chart module is great!
In the following example 3 columns x 2 rows, I connect the cell {3,2}
with the cell {2,1}. In the absence of the cell {2,2}, the arrow nicely
goes through the center of this blank space.
\usemodule [chart]
\setupFLOWcharts [nx=3,ny=2,
dx=2\bodyfontsize,dy=2\bodyfontsize,
width=7\bodyfontsize,height=7\bodyfontsize,
maxwidth=\textwidth]
\starttext
\startFLOWchart [minimal]
\startFLOWcell
\name {11}
\location {1,1}
\text {1,1}
\connection [rl] {21}
\stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {21}
\location {2,1}
\text {2,1}
\connection [rl] {31}
\stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {31}
\location {3,1}
\text {3,1}
\connection [bt] {32}
\stopFLOWcell
% \startFLOWcell
% \name {22}
% \location {2,2}
% \text {2,2}
% \stopFLOWcell
\startFLOWcell
\name {32}
\location {3,2}
\text {3,2}
\connection [lb] {21}
\stopFLOWcell
\stopFLOWchart
\FLOWchart [minimal]
\stoptext
Question (or perhaps feature request),
it would be nice to be able to connect the cells {3,2} and {2,1}
using a diagonal arrow, running directly from the center of one cell
to the center of the other, of course ending at the intersections
with the cell shapes outlines. Is this possible?
A decent syntax could be
\connection [cc] {21}
This syntax could also nicely work for the other connections,
without having to specify "l" or "r" or "t" or "b".
Thus,
\connection [rl] {21}
for the cell {1,1} could be replaced by
\connection [cc] {21}
yielding the same result.
I can figure out how to do this in metapost, but I have not
looked into the chart module code.
