Side Branch Ascent Label Strike

Gallery / Fan-out and Fan-in

A symmetric 2-way fan-out where a multi-line side branch (Salmon) ascends from off the trunk to the section's shared exit port, passing a wide trunk-sibling label (BEDTools genomecov) along the way. It rides its own track and turns up late at the exit port, so its riser clears the label rather than raking through it mid-section.
