Link Bundle Settings —These settings arrange overlapped links (links that connect the same two
handles) in a bundle-like representation. You can configure the spacing between two links
(inter link offset), to change between displaying all the links or only one thick segment (see
setShrinked method), Clicking this button opens a dialog with the following settings:
Propagate–When selected, changes to any individual entity recalculates any other con-
nected entities.
Shrinked–When shrinked, the link bundle appears as a single thick link.
Autorun–Enables configured bundling to automatically recompute each time one of the
two connected objects is moved or resized.
Start on border–When enabled, links start and/or end at the border of the objects
Reduce overlapping–Activates an algorithm to reduce link overlaps.
Use the radio buttons to select from the following alternatives. The Spacing, Offset and
Angle fields become active, depending on your selection.
Figure 21-6. Link Bundle Offset / Angle Spacing
This sets the method to compute the link extremities. Depending of the method used, you
can specify also the size of the links extremities or their angles (spacing or amplitude).
Offset method–Activates the Spacing and Offset fields.
Angle spacing method–Activates the Spacing and Angle fields.
Angle Amplitude method—Activates the Spacing and Angle fields.
