Remarks

A link connects the FromNode to the ToNode.

The rendering of a link is determined by the Diagram's LinkTemplate. This DataTemplate may be a simple LinkShape. However it is usually a LinkPanel, which supports child elements that act as arrowheads or text labels or other decoration on the link.

A link may also have a LabelNode. In this case there is a separate Node that is associated with the link. The node's Node.IsLinkLabel property will be true. It is usually positioned at the mid-point of the link. It supports its own link connections and may be independently selected or moved. The label node may be a Group, in which case all of its member nodes are link label nodes that are positioned by the LinkPanel.

You may not apply any transforms to a Link; that is reserved to GoXam for future use.
