Hi Johan,

I've just commited RTAnchorConstraint to latest Roassal, see class-side example there.

I've been using it for my class diagrams where it works quite well, however class diagrams are usually orthogonal-ish, which makes it a bit nicer.

The Anchor will avoid intersecting it's own line, and one of the end shapes (it should both but apparently I have a bug there...).

It doesn't look at other lines, however you can specify on which side it should be.

(You can also put the node label inside the circle with `el @ (RTLabelled new center)` but you probably know that.)

I have also a global edge labeling layout which produces good placement… but it's slow as hell… I need to write a fast flow alogrithm…

Also the Anchor currently doesn't work with self-edges. On the other hand Roassal doesn't have self-edges yet so it shouldn't be a problem. :)

Better late than never :-) (working on the holidays backlog)

I only have one request: better positioning on labels of nodes and edges. For example see the image: three of the four labels are badly positioned because the bounding box of their text is intersected by one or more edges.

I know that to solve this generally is hard, but for simple cases like this it should be possible.

Ah, and it should work well with animations and dragging of course ;-)

Dear community,

As you may have seen, Roassal has entered a stabilization phase. The book AgileVisualization.com will soon be released. After its release, Roassal will go over a new development phase. In order to prepare it, I am asking this question:

What are the 3 aspects you would like to see improved in Roassal?

You can answer publicly or by sending private messages.

Kind regards,
Alexandre
