I have a need to draw a tree which is cyclic. I would like to create
something where all edges go out the top of the source node and come in at
the bottom of the target node. Thus for example if there is a cycle
between two nodes which lie one above the other, *two* edges would be
drawn: one from the "top-of-the-lower" to the "bottom-of-the-upper", and
another which bends around, starting from the "top-of-the-upper" and drawn
down and around, coming in at the "bottom-of-the-lower"
My first attempt, based on DirectedGraphDemo, adding an edge from node a
to b and also an edge from b to a, yielded a result which had a single
edge with an arrow head at both ends. It implies the same thing, but does
not convey what my users expect to see.
I did not see any examples in the draw2D demos which had this sort of
situation. I tried reading the javadoc on the varous Node, Edge,
DirectedGraph, DirectedGraphLayout, etc. but there is very little info on
what the parameters and methods actually do for any of these.
Thanks for any pointers.
