Changing the deflection (curve) of link lines


You can make link lines straight or deflect them from a straight line (curve them) to any degree and in either direction.

You can do this by dragging the lines or specifying a deflection percentage.

To change the deflection of a link line:

1 Select the line.

2 Do one of the following:
  • Drag the line's selection rectangle () in the direction you want its deflection to increase or decrease.
  • Display the Inspector and choose a percentage from the Deflection menu in the Link Inspector. Positive percentages increase the deflection to the right, negative percentages to the left. (Right and left are from the perspective of the source page--the page that the link arrow points away from.) A deflection of zero is a straight line.

    • When two pages are linked by two lines, giving the lines a zero deflection merges the lines. This effect is likely to obscure the design.
