Declaration
public static IEnumerable<Point> TranslateConnectionPoints(this IConnection connection, bool globalCoordinates = true)
Parameters
IConnection connection

The connection. to shift.
System.Boolean globalCoordinates

If set to true points will be transformed to global coordinates. If set to false, then the coordinates will be relative to the connection.
Returns
System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<System.Windows.Point>
