LinkPath
extends Path
The LinkPath class represents a link in a node-link visualization. To create a LinkPath object, use the mark method in the Scene class, for example:
let link = scene.mark("link", {strokeColor: "#eee", mode: "curveVertical"});
Properties
| property | explanation | type | default value |
|---|---|---|---|
| mode | how the link will be drawn, current supports three modes: “linear”, “curveHorizontal”, and “curveVertical” | String | “linear” |
source ![]() | the mark representing the source node | Mark | |
target ![]() | the mark representing the target node | Mark | |
| sourceAnchor | the anchor of the source mark this link is attached to | Array | [“center”, “middle”] |
| targetAnchor | the anchor of the target mark this link is attached to | Array | [“center”, “middle”] |
| sourceOffset | the offset between this link and the source mark’s anchor | Array | [0, 0] |
| targetOffset | the offset between this link and the target mark’s anchor | Array | [0, 0] |
