Default stem positions

The number of equally spaced positions relative to a center position (included in the count) on a Node face where a Stem can be attached. A value of one corresponds to a single connection point in the center of a Node face. A value of three is a central connection point with one on either side, and so on. In practice, five is usually the right number, especially for a class or state diagram. But this could vary by diagram and node type in the future.

Type: Odd Quantity :: Odd Integer > 0

Default rut positions

The number of ruts where Path can be defined in a Lane. These work like stem/anchor positions on a Lane as opposed to a Node face. For a value of 3 we get positions -1, 0 and +1 with 0 representing the Lane Center and +1 high/right and -1 low/left.

Type: Odd Quantity :: Odd Integer > 0

Type: Distance

Default new path row height

When a new empty row must be added to to accommodate a Path in a Connector use this initial height.

Type: Distance

Default unary branch length
