[Question]Connection line display issue

[MachineVisionxiaotan]

This is my first time testing the Nodify library. When I add two nodes and place them in the editor, if there is a certain distance between them in the x direction, the connection line will not appear if I try to connect them directly without dragging the nodes first. Only after dragging the nodes will the connection line be displayed，what is the reason for this？

Does the following answer help you? https://github.com/miroiu/nodify/wiki/FAQ#q-why-is-the-connection-not-following-the-connectors-when-i-move-a-node

Also, make sure that the binding for the Anchor is set to OneWayToSource.

I have already set Anchor OneWayToSource. I found that the issue of not displaying only occurs when the y coordinates of the two nodes are the same

I can't reproduce it. Can you give me more details?

Video is the effect.
Initial positions of two nodes：
Location=new System.Windows.Point(200, 200),
Location = new System.Windows.Point(500, 200),

It works fine for me. There must be something wrong with your setup.

Please verify that:

1. the collection that stores the connections is observable or at least raise a PropertyChanged event when a connection is added.
2. the Source and Target are bound to the corresponding connector Anchor in the Connection template/style
3. the Anchor is bound in a OneWayToSource mode to the corresponding connector Anchor in NodeInput and NodeOutput
4. the connector class is implementing INotifyPropertyChanged and the Anchor property raises PropertyChanged events

Also worth checking out: https://github.com/miroiu/nodify/wiki/Getting-Started#a-minimal-example

Move the viewport top-left a bit to check whether the connection is correctly added to the graph (it is added at 0, 0). If the Anchor binding has problems, you will see something like this:

It's not related to binding, it just doesn't display when horizontal

The reason is that I wrote SourceOffsetMode="Rectangle" TargetOffsetMode="Rectangle"，delete them and everything will be fine.
