If so, by what criteria would it determine the path? +-------+ | 0----| | +----1 Or would it always be logical, so HorizontalLeft would lead to VerticalDown, for example? _________________ Kem Tekinay MacTechnologies Consulting http://www.mactechnologies.com/ Need to develop, test, and refine regular expressions?

Do you have any additional criteria, such as you cannot touch any other existing features already in the picture?

A horizontal(left/right) always connects to a vertical(up/down) and vice-versa _________________ Dave Sisemore iMac I7[2012], OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 RB2012r2.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top ktekinay Post subject: Re: Draw a Path Between Two coordinatesPosted: Thu May 16, 2013 4:54 pm Joined: Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:21 pm Posts: 595 Location: New York, NY So the path I presented would be comprised of 6 nodes (or more), not just the two I illustrated, yes? Are you looking for the Graphics code for this? Are the nodes a custom class? _________________ Kem Tekinay MacTechnologies Consulting http://www.mactechnologies.com/ Need to develop, test, and refine regular expressions? Try RegExRX.

(and I DO have a list of rectangles that could be avoided) _________________ Dave Sisemore iMac I7[2012], OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 RB2012r2.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top DaveS Post subject: Re: Draw a Path Between Two coordinatesPosted: Thu May 16, 2013 4:59 pm Joined: Sun Aug 05, 2007 10:46 am Posts: 4882 Location: San Diego, CA ktekinay wrote:So the path I presented would be comprised of 6 nodes (or more), not just the two I illustrated, yes?

Given X1,Y1 and X2,Y2 .... return a list of X,Y,D values where D is the Direction (Horizontal or Vertical) and I can merge that with my existing classes... I have all the rest of the drawing, editing, moving, adding, deleteing of shapes, images etc working.... and have been putting off the routing hoping I could come up with a novel approach... which so far I have not _________________ Dave Sisemore iMac I7[2012], OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 RB2012r2.1 Note : I am not interested in any solutions that involve custom Plug-ins of any kind Top ktekinay Post subject: Re: Draw a Path Between Two coordinatesPosted: Thu May 16, 2013 5:15 pm Joined: Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:21 pm Posts: 595 Location: New York, NY So given node1 and node2, you would get back two nodes, nodeX and nodeY such that drawing would be: node1->nodeX, nodeY->node2 The coordinates of nodeX and nodeY would be identical, only the D would differ, right? > node1----nodeX/Y > | > | > node2 In that case, if node1.X = 0, node1.Y = 0, node1.ID = 1, and node2.X = 10, node2.Y = 10, node2.ID = 0, then nodeX.X = 0, nodeX.Y = 10, nodeX.ID = 3, and nodeY.X = 0, nodeY.Y = 10, and nodeY.ID = 2.
