So... you did remove overlaps and now you're looking at connectors. I don't believe this is quite what you're talking about, but I just filed an rfe that has to do with both removing overlaps and connectors (please check the file attached to the RFE to see an example): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1421548&gro...
To summarize the rfe, it would be making connectors lay side-by-side as opposed to overlapping when routed through the same object(s). If you've ever seen bus or subway maps, it's the same theory. It may not interest you, but I figured I'd throw it your way since it ties into two areas you have/want to work with. Either way, I can't wait to see more graphing functions. And thanks again for remove overlaps. :-)
That particular Feature Request is something I probably need to address in the connector routing code. This is something I definitely plan to look at, though it may not be for a couple of months.
FWIW, Tim and I are part of the same research group and will be working closely together in implementing some more useful diagramming features.
