You can customize a network link using the properties listed in the following table.

CSS properties for network links

Property Name	Type	Default Value	Description
`alternateColor`	`Color`	`null`	Sets the alternate color.
`animateSpeed`	`float`	`0`	Sets the animate speed.
`arrowColor`	`Color`	`Color.black`	Sets the arrow color.
`arrowMode`	`int`	`ARROW_FILL`	Sets the arrow-drawing style. The possible values are: `ARROW_FILL` `ARROW_OPEN` `ARROW_GRADIENT` `ARROW_DECOERRATION`
`arrowPosition`	`float`	`1f`	Sets the position of the arrow as the ratio of the link length. For example, `0.5f` is the middle of the link.
`arrowRatio`	`float`	`1f`	Sets the size of the arrow proportionately to the length of the link.
`borderColor`	`Color`	`null`	Sets the border color.
`borderColor2`	`Color`	`null`	Sets the lower border color.
`borderLineStyle`	`float[]`	`null`	Sets the array that represents the lengths of the dash segments for the border. The possible values are: `Solid` `Dot` `Dash` `DashDot` `DashDoubleDot` `Alternate` `LongDash` `DoubleDot` or an array that defines a new line style.
`borderLineStylePhase`	`float`	`0f`	Sets the dash pattern offset for the border.
`borderWidth`	`float`	`0f`	Sets the border width.
`curved`	`float`	`0f`	Sets the curved appearance and the smoothness of the spline.
`endCap`	`int`	`CAP_SQUARE`	Sets the decorations applied to the end of the polyline. The possible values are: `CAP_BUTT` `CAP_ROUND` `CAP_SQUARE`
`internalZoom`	`float`	`1f`	Sets the internal scale factor.
`lineJoin`	`int`	`JOIN_MITER`	Sets the decoration applied when two segments are joined. The possible values are: `JOIN_BEVEL` `JOIN_MITER` `JOIN_ROUND`
`lineStyle`	`float[]`	`null`	Sets the array that represents the lengths of the dash segments. The possible values are: `Solid` `Dot` `Dash` `DashDot` `DashDoubleDot` `Alternate` `LongDash` `DoubleDot` or an array that defines a new line style.
`lineStylePhase`	`float`	`0f`	Sets the dash pattern offset.
`lineWidth`	`float`	`5f`	Sets the line width.
`maxLineWidth`	`float`	`0`	Sets the maximum line width when zooming in.
`minLineWidth`	`float`	`0f`	Sets the minimum line width when zooming out.
`mode`	`int`	`MODE_GRADIENT`	Sets the link-drawing mode. The possible values are: `MODE_TEXTURE` `MODE_UNICOLOR` `MODE_GRADIENT` `MODE_NEON` Caution: Do not use the border with the mode `ilog.views.sdm.graphic.IlvGeneralLink` . `MODE_NEON` .
`oriented`	`boolean`	`false`	Sets the link as oriented or not oriented.
`qualityLevel`	`int`	`3`	Controls the quality of the rendering of the link. You can modify this property for faster interaction or high quality printing. The following values achieve the following effects respectively: `0` : The link is rendered as a single line only. `1` : `MODE_UNICOLOR` is forced, with no border, no wave effect, and a classic arrow. `2` : Gives the effect of `1` with a border. `3` : All, the default value. `4` : Very fine-gradient spectra. `5` : All `BasicStroke` with float value and no cache.
`wave`	`String`	`"0/0"`	Sets the wavy outline of the link. Use `0/0` to cancel the wave effect. The value is a formatted string that describes the wave. The format is `a/p` , where `a` is an `int` representing the amplitude of the wave in pixels and `p` is an `int` representing the period or length of the wave in pixels.
