RoutingNode

A minimalist waypoint node designed for managing edge paths. RoutingNode is a tiny 30x30 pixel node with no title bar, no content area, and no resize handles -- just a network icon and four connection handles.

Key Features

• Compact size -- 30x30 pixels by default, the smallest node type
• No content or title -- renders only an icon and connection handles
• Edge routing -- use as a waypoint to redirect or organize edge paths between distant nodes
• Custom render -- bypasses the standard BaseNode title bar and content area for a minimal footprint
• Icon cycling -- tracks an internal iconState for potential icon variations

Configuration Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
width	number	30	Width in pixels
height	number	30	Height in pixels
title	string	''	Empty by default (not displayed)
color	string	'default'	Color theme variant

Usage

Redirecting Edges

Place a RoutingNode between two distant nodes to create a clean path:

1. Add a RoutingNode from the context menu.
2. Connect an edge from Node A to the RoutingNode.
3. Connect another edge from the RoutingNode to Node B.

The result is a neatly routed connection that avoids crossing over unrelated nodes.

Organizing Complex Graphs

In dense graphs, RoutingNodes act as junction points. Use them to consolidate multiple connections at a single waypoint before fanning out to destination nodes.

TIP

RoutingNodes are especially useful in large graphs where direct node-to-node edges would create a tangled mess. Place them at strategic intersections to keep your layout clean.
