A value of 1 extrapolates the position of the connection point from the center of the shape, through x,y, to the point of intersection with the perimeter of the shape. A value of 0 sets the connection point where specified by x,y. perimeter - required, with the values 1 or 0.Each element within the connections element defines a fixed connection point on the shape.Ĭonstraints have the following attributes: If you want to define specific fixed connection points on your custom shape, use the element. This numeric value defines the multiplier that is applied to the width. Inherit indicates that the strokewidth of the cell will change both when you scale and when you resize the shape. strokewidth - optional string containing either an integer or the string "inherit".Variable causes the ratio to match that of the geometry of the current vertex. Fixed always renders the shape with the aspect ratio defined by the ratio w/h.

See how to create this basic custom shape Select Arrange > Insert > Shape from the menu to open the Edit Shape dialog where you can see the XML structure of the shape. You can create your own custom shapes in by describing their geometry, connection points and styles in an XML format. Because SVGs and raster images aren’t native shapes, they don’t contain the necessary information about which shapes on which to draw shadows, apply line widths, and so on. While this provides you with a lot of flexibility, it doesn’t let you style raster or SVG images, except to change the colours in embedded SVG images.
