You do not normally need to create an instance of this tool because one already exists as the ToolManager.linkReshapingTool, which you can modify.
The Tool.name of this tool is "LinkReshaping".
Optional init: Partial<LinkReshapingTool>ReadonlyadornedThis read-only property returns the Link that is being routed manually.
Returns the GraphObject that is the tool handle being dragged by the user. This will be contained by an Adornment whose category is "LinkReshaping". Its Adornment.adornedPart is the same as the adornedLink. This is normally set by doActivate, remembering the result of the call to Tool.findToolHandleAt.
Gets or sets a small GraphObject that is copied as a reshape handle at each movable point in the selected link's route. By default this is a Shape that is a small blue rectangle. Setting this property does not raise any events.
Here is an example of changing the default handles to be larger yellow circles:
myDiagram.toolManager.linkReshapingTool.handleArchetype =
$(go.Shape, "Circle",
{ width: 10, height: 10, fill: "yellow" });
Gets or sets a small GraphObject that is copied as a resegment handle at each mid-point in the selected Link's route. By default this is a Shape that is a small blue diamond. Setting this property does not raise any events.
Here is an example of changing the default handle to be larger cyan triangles:
myDiagram.toolManager.linkReshapingTool.midHandleArchetype =
$(go.Shape, "Triangle", { width: 10, height: 10, fill: "cyan" });
ReadonlyoriginalThis read-only property returns the Point that was the original location of the handle that is being dragged to reshape the Link.
ReadonlyoriginalGets or sets the distance from a straight line that controls whether a Link.resegmentable Link segment is kept as a separate segment or removed to form a straight segment of the adjacent points.
The default value is 3.
VirtualOverridecanThis tool may run when there is a mouse-down event on a reshape handle.
This method may be overridden. Please read the Introduction page on Extensions for how to override methods and how to call this base method.
VirtualcomputeThis is called by doMouseMove and doMouseUp to limit the input point before calling reshape.
This method may be overridden. Please read the Introduction page on Extensions for how to override methods and how to call this base method.
the point where the handle is being dragged.
Either the same Point p or one constrained by the reshape behavior to be moved only vertically or only horizontally.
OverridedoStart reshaping, if findToolHandleAt finds a reshape handle at the mouse down point.
If successful this sets handle to be the reshape handle that it finds and adornedLink to be the Link being routed. It also remembers the original link route (a list of Points) in case this tool is cancelled. And it starts a transaction.
OverridedoOverridedoOverridedoCall reshape with a new point determined by the mouse to change the route of the adornedLink.
OverridedoReshape the route with a point based on the most recent mouse point by calling reshape, and then raise a "LinkReshaped" DiagramEvent before stopping this tool.

VirtualreshapeChange the route of the adornedLink by moving the point corresponding to the current handle to be at the given Point. This is called by doMouseMove and doMouseUp with the result of calling computeReshape to constrain the input point.
This method respects the orthogonality of the link, if necessary limiting movement along only one axis. To maintain orthogonality it may need to modify more than one point in the route.
This method may be overridden. Please read the Introduction page on Extensions for how to override methods and how to call this base method.

The LinkReshapingTool is used to interactively change the route of a Link by setting its Link.points list. You may want to save the route to the model by using a TwoWay Binding on the "points" property of the Link.
This tool makes use of an Adornment, shown when the adorned Link is selected, that includes some number of reshape handles. This tool conducts a transaction while the tool is active. A successful reshaping will result in a "LinkReshaped" DiagramEvent and a "LinkReshaping" transaction.
