            Bug ID: 116476
           Summary: Enhance connectors with "line gap" / "slightly
                    detached" feature (e.g. for diagrams or flow charts)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.2.1 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Draw
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: gerry.treppel at googlemail.com

Description:
Connectors are frequently used when drawing diagrams or flow charts. From a
graphics design perspective, it should be possible that connectors/arrows in
diagrams and flow charts do not directly contact the boxes, but rather to have
a gap between the box and connector/arrow. Such a feature does not exist in
Draw, but, for example, in the diagram editors Dia and Pencil. In both diagram
editors it is possible to either set direct contact (default) or to add a gap
between the connector/arrow and the box.

The diagram tool Pencil calls the feature: Connector is "slightly detached".
The diagram tool Dia calls the feature: "line gap" (with detailed adjustment
possibilities for distances at line start and line end).

Please see attached screenshots of flow charts with the the "line gap" /
"slightly detached" function created in Dia and Pencil.
