+The value for the edge gap (either as supplied in vector, range, or scalar form, or calculated and returned by a function) applies to both ends of an edge. This is a minor issue for cases where, for example, the vertex shapes are different sizes, and the gaps need to be calculated independently for each end of a single edge. You'll have to calculate and draw the edges yourself, as shown in this unnecessarily animated example:
