DESCRIPTION

The Add-DiaTShapeLine function creates a T-shaped (⊥) connector in a diagram by connecting four nodes:

• A horizontal line between a left node, a middle (top) node, and a right node.
• A vertical line extending down from the middle node to a lower node.

The function supports customization of:

• Node names for each point of the T-shape.
• Arrowhead and arrowtail styles (Graphviz types).
• Line style (solid, dashed, dotted, etc.).
• Individual line segment lengths for left, right, and vertical lines.
• Line width and color.
• Debug mode to visually highlight nodes and lines for troubleshooting.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1

PowerShell

# Creates a T-shaped connector with custom node names, dashed blue lines, and default arrow styles.
