	Is there a way to make the arrows look more professional as they do in javaApplet mode?

	In ImageMap mode, currently-drawn links are shown using one of eight images for the various directions, and they are scaled to reach the links' end points. There's no other way we can see to render them in html, except using HTML5 Canvas, for which you have Canvas client mode. Adding extra images to cover more rotation angles should improve the quality a bit, but you will still see the stretch effects, while the page will load more slowly because of the additional files. I hope that helps, Stoyan

	Hi Stoyan, Give me a little more detail on this please. Where are the images stored for rotation angles? Where and how can I add more? Any other solutions? Consider this, user click and drags and instead of diagonal, arrows appear as a right angle. Also consider this, no arrow appears, only a red dot that would point where the user wants arrow to be dropped after dragging. Really need to sort out these arrows. BTW does any of the examples here http://www.mindfusion.co/demos/index.html?Control=Diagramming use imagemap?

	You can't add extra images yourself, I was taking about our developers adding them. Unfortunately there's no way to draw diagonal lines in html without using Canvas, so that's the best you can get in ImageMap mode for the time being.

	Stoyo, Thanks for the reply. Can I add these extra images myself, once we buy netdiagram with source-code? Is there any way to disable showing arrows as you're dragging them? Say a link is drawn from point A to point B, without it being shown until the mouse is let go? Is there any way to say instead of drawing a stretchy arrow, just a red dot is shown? Any way to change style of arrows that are actually drawn?

	Using Firebug, add a breakpoint to the ImageLink method in DiagramView.js to see how images are set. You could overwrite this method with your own version even now to use different images, or show only a dot image. I hope that helps, Stoyan
