Binary Connector is a Straight Binary Connector, Refliexive Binary Connector, or Bending Binary Connector

---

A Straight Binary Connector is a single horizontal or vertical line that connects both of its non-tertiary Stems. Only one of the two non-tertiary Stems is an Anchored Stem since the opposing Stem is positioned based on the intersection of the connector line and the opposing Node face. Thus the face position of only one Stem, the Anchored Stem, need be specified by the user.

A Bending Binary Connector has at least one corner and requires all of its Stems to be Anchored Stems (fixed on user specified node face positions).
