Feature Request: Flow diagram 'Connection Schemes' & styles
I generate flow diagrams with different purposes/level of detail, according to WHAT I'm showing I change background colors, connection colors and text styles. My suggestion is in 2 steps:
Step 1 It would be great if one could assign document styles to connections (color), background color, Diagram Title (font, size, color, ecc..), Diagram Description (font, size, color, ecc..) and Artboard Titles (font, size, color, ecc..). By the way, is there a way to avoid the artboard titles being numbered? (Home -> 1. Home .. just wondering if I missed something)
Step 2 This is more complicated. Rather than having to duplicate pages with all the artboards and then creating a different connection scheme (and having to maintain at that point several pages) it would work wonders for me if I could create a different 'Connection Scheme' with, from step1, different styles associated with them on the same page or for the same artboard set.
Here's an image to explain my proposal:
(Update: in che Flow Scheme 2 the path should read 'Case 2 flow path..sorry!)
Once you can apply different connection schemes to a page/set of artboards you can get pretty specific about the flows you might want to represent without the overhead of duplicating pages and maintaining artboards. (converting an artboards/pages to symbols doesn't help because you can't link a specific item within a symbol).
Something similar to the http://states.design states plugin would work from a UI perspective for switching between use cases.
No idea on the engineering behind things though. :)
Hey @Adam-CS,
I'm relating to the second image with the double if else statement.
Maybe @abynim already understood what problem you want to solve(?) but on a second look I got confused by your proposal. Could you elaborate a bit further on this?
E.g. what kind of condition were you thinking of? Or do you want to extend the conditions concept with sth. else?
