You can add custom patterns to the Patterns list, or replace the standard patterns altogether. Patterns are defined using RoutePattern and RouteStep objects.

The following code defines a Z-like link route that will be accepted if it does not cross Obstacle nodes, nor passes by them within MinimumDistance.

C#  Copy Code

var rightZigzag = new RoutePattern(); rightZigzag.Steps.Add(     new RouteStep(RouteStepKind.AdvanceRelative, 0.5f)); rightZigzag.Steps.Add(     new RouteStep(RouteStepKind.TurnRight)); rightZigzag.Steps.Add(     new RouteStep(RouteStepKind.AdvanceRelative, 1)); rightZigzag.Steps.Add(     new RouteStep(RouteStepKind.TurnLeft)); rightZigzag.Steps.Add(     new RouteStep(RouteStepKind.AdvanceRelative, 0.5f)); router.Patterns.Add(rightZigzag); // this can be defined in shorter form using a pattern string // var rightZigzag = new RoutePattern( //     "ADR0.5 TRR ADR1 TRL ADR0.5");
