Connect boxes with straight line

_cds_icon_option_activated.png: The elements are arranged in a network in such a way that the lines between them have a fixed, short length. In this way, the width required to display the networks is kept as small as possible. This can cause the function block boxes to be vertically extended in order to create sufficient space for all input and output elements.

_cds_icon_option_deactivated.png: The elements keep their default size and the connecting lines adapt to the required space.

Show network comment

_cds_icon_option_activated.png: The network comment (if defined) is displayed in the top left corner of the network. If a network title is also displayed, then the comment is displayed in the line below.

Note: A local "operand comment" can be specified additionally or alternatively.
