Independent paper grid size for links

[Alexander Nestorov]

The constructor of joint.dia.Paper receives gridSize as one of it's parameters. If set, the paper will behave grid-like, letting me place elements only at the intersections of each vertical and horizontal line of the grid (instead of letting me freely position elements whenever I want).

This is exactly what I want for my elements, but not for my links. If I set the grid size option and then start dragging the end of a link around the paper, it will "jump" from "point" to "point" on the paper.

Is there a way I can set the grid size only for elements and not for links?

Hi Alex,

Right, that makes sense. Please feel free to create an issue on our GitHub. `gridSize` option can be defined as a function which would accept a cell view.

For the time being I think you can do the following:

paper.on('cell:pointerdown', function(cellView) {

   paper.options.gridSize = (cellView.model.isLink()) ? 1 : 10;

});

Best,

Roman

Perfect! The workaround is working as expected; exactly what I was looking for.

I created the github issue: https://github.com/clientIO/joint/issues/1425

Best regards!
