Connecting to centre connectors

[John]

I would like all connections made to shapes to use ONLY the centre connector.

In the javascript code I use the diagram.connect method to connect the shapes; I did see an example of the use shape.getConnector method but cannot find any documentation on this. But I felt by doing something like....

 

diagram.connect(shape1.getConnector('middle'),shape2.getConnector('middle')

 

Should actually do what I wanted but using the key word 'middle' or 'center' did not work. Any help appreciated.

Hi John,

The documentation article for the getConnector method of the shape of the Kendo UI Diagram can be found here:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/diagram/shape/methods/getconnector

Also, the connect method of the diagram uses three parameters , and the only option to make use of custom connections is to set manually the coordinates of the endpoints:

• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/diagram/methods/connect
• https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/diagram/configuration/connections.to

It is important to point out that the available options for the connectors are "top", "bottom", "left" and "right". 

 

Kind regards,
