Position diagramobjects based on the connectors
« on: February 07, 2020, 03:22:45 am »
I am writing an algorithm to place diagramobjects on a diagram based on their connectors.
But before I keep breaking my head, is there such a thing?

Without giving a rule set, the answer is: may be. Given a rule set: the answer is most likely: not for that rule set.

What do you mean with a rule set?

How would you place the diagram object? Probably not randomly but according to rules. These are likely not trivial but complex. So it would most likely be a set of rules. A rule set.
