Visual examples of "grouping" connectors with sharp vs rounded edges
Please add a new connector type that works the same way as the standard one,
but with rounded edges.
In diagrams, when there are multiple connectors from multiple boxes, going into
a single target box, I like to "group" them together into a single "lane". This
reduces visual noise and communicates, that all these connections are similar.
Using the connectors currently available in LO, I get close to the desired
result. There is a small problem though. Because these connectors meet at
straight angles, they do not guide the eye into the right direction. This can
be a problem in large diagrams, when there is a distance between the connected
boxes.
A connector type with rounded edges would solve that quite elegantly. The lanes
coming from multiple boxes would "flow" into the main lane going into the
target box.
See attachment for visual examples.
In LO, I can create the result only by piecing together the connectors from
curves, shapes and lines. Frankly, this isn't maintenable for large diagrams.
