Need to draw a straight connector in between the shapes

Hi Team ,

I need to draw the straight connectors in between the shapes. Currently I am not able to draw the straight connectors rather than bending connectors.
Can you please suggest the solution ?

Please try to use following in order to draw a straight connector:

shape.SetConnectorsType(ConnectorsTypeValue.StraightLines);

Hi @asad.ali

Thanks for sharing the solution . I am getting the below exception after adding the property.

Shape connector = new Shape();
connector.getLine().getLineWeight().setValue(0.01588);
connector.getLine().getLineColor().setValue(edge.getConnectorColour());
connector.getLine().getLinePattern().setValue(edge.getConnectorPattern());
connector.getLine().getLineCap().setValue(BOOL.TRUE);
//connector.setName(edge.getConnectorInfo());
connector.getLine().getEndArrow().setValue(edge.getArrowSize());
connector.getText().getValue().setWholeText(edge.getConnectorInfo());
// connector.getText().getValue().setWholeText(edge.getConnectorInfo());
connector.getXForm().getLocPinX().getUfe().setF("Width*1.5");
connector.getXForm().getLocPinY().getUfe().setF("Height*1.5");
**connector.setConnectorsType(ConnectorsTypeValue.STRAIGHT_LINES);**
connecter = pagetemplate.addShape(connector, connectorMaster);

Exception :
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
	at com.aspose.diagram.dv.c(Unknown Source)
	at com.aspose.diagram.Shape.setConnectorsType(Unknown Source)

Can you please assist more ?

Thanks,

Greetings,
This is my first attempt at helping in the community but here goes. I AM using the “ConnectorsTypeValue.STRAIGHT_LINES” property successfully. Your syntax appears correct. In your import statement(s), use:

import com.aspose.diagram.*;

I am using aspose version 21.9.

One other thing. This may not be related to the problem you are experiencing, but In order for it to work, I had to add the connector to the page first (the line you have just below your bold line --not sure why that would be the case) but if I did not, I got the error:
Cannot invoke “com.aspose.diagram.Shape.getGeoms()” because the return value of “com.aspose.diagram.Shape.getMasterShape()” is null

Krishan,
Make sure you have debug flag turned on in whatever ide or build system you are using. Unknown source may be replace with actual error.
