Helper class that calculates visual hints in a path where said path crosses an obstacle.
Remarks
Most notably this feature is used to render crossings of IEdges with other edges.
To set up bridges in a GraphComponent at the least the following is necessary:
Furthermore, an edge style that supports bridges is necessary; PolylineEdgeStyle is a good choice. Various other properties can be set to change the defaults, e.g. how bridges appear, or which way bridges point.

Constructors
Initializes a new instance of the BridgeManager class.
Remarks
Default
properties in this class and the insertDefaultCustomBridge method respectively.Parameters
A map of options to pass to the method.
- defaultBridgeCreator - IBridgeCreator
The default implementation of the IBridgeCreator that will be used if addBridges is invoked with a
null
callback argument. This option sets the defaultBridgeCreator property on the created object.- considerCurves - boolean
A value that determines whether curves (cubic and quadratic) should be considered as obstacles. This option sets the considerCurves property on the created object.
- zoomThreshold - number
A threshold value that determines below which zoom level, there should be no more bridge calculation. This option sets the zoomThreshold property on the created object.
- bridgeCrossingPolicy - BridgeCrossingPolicy
The BridgeCrossingPolicy mode that is used by this instance. This option sets the bridgeCrossingPolicy property on the created object.
- canvasComponent - CanvasComponent
The canvasComponent that should be managed by this instance. This option sets the canvasComponent property on the created object.
- defaultBridgeCrossingStyle - BridgeCrossingStyle
The default BridgeCrossingStyle that will be used by the default implementation of the IBridgeCreator that is initially assigned to the defaultBridgeCreator property. This option sets the defaultBridgeCrossingStyle property on the created object.
- defaultBridgeWidth - number
The default width of a bridge that will be used by the default implementation of the IBridgeCreator that is initially assigned to the defaultBridgeCreator property. This option sets the defaultBridgeWidth property on the created object.
- clipMargin - number
The margin by which the clip should be enlarged to accommodate for clipped away lines being taken into account for bridge calculation. This option sets the clipMargin property on the created object.
- defaultBridgeHeight - number
The default height of a bridge that will be used by the default implementation of the IBridgeCreator that is initially assigned to the defaultBridgeCreator property. This option sets the defaultBridgeHeight property on the created object.
- defaultBridgeOrientationStyle - BridgeOrientationStyle
The default BridgeOrientationStyle for bridges that will be used by the default implementation of the IBridgeCreator that is initially assigned to the defaultBridgeCreator property. This option sets the defaultBridgeOrientationStyle property on the created object.
