• None

DESCRIPTION

The Add-DiaInvertedLShapeLine function creates an inverted L-shaped connector in a diagram by linking three nodes:

• The "Up" node (vertical start)
• The "Down" node (vertical end)
• The "Right" node (horizontal branch)

The function allows customization of arrow styles, line styles, widths, colors, and node appearance. It is useful for visually representing relationships or flows in diagrams where an inverted L-shape is needed.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PowerShell

# Creates an inverted L-shaped line from NodeA down to NodeB and right to NodeC, with a normal arrowhead, dashed blue line.

Add-DiaInvertedLShapeLine -InvertedLShapeUp "NodeA" -InvertedLShapeDown "NodeB" -InvertedLShapeRight "NodeC" -Arrowhead "normal" -LineStyle "dashed" -LineColor "blue"
