Link

extends Path

The Link mark represents a link in a node-link visualization. Link marks are typically used together with node marks when repeating a network or tree dataset.

sourceOffset	the offset between this link and the source mark’s anchor	Array	[0, 0]
target	the mark representing the target node	Mark
targetAnchor	the anchor of the target mark this link is attached to	Array	[“center”, “middle”]
