Directional Flow

Gallery / Feature Showcase

Opt-in static flow chevrons via `%%metro directional: true` (CLI: `--directional`): periodic open chevrons ride each route pointing source to target. A three-line bundled trunk fans out to per-line analyses and converges again, so the chevrons make bundle, fan-out, and merge direction legible without the animated `--animate` balls. Marker size, spacing, opacity, and colour are `Theme` knobs.
