A connector includes a set of Appearance, Line Style, and Runtime Behavior properties. These properties can be modified during design time.
During run time, you can use animation to change property values that affect the appearance or behavior of a connector. For Angled or Straight connectors, you can use Line Style or Element Style animation. A connection point does not support any type of animation.
