Introduction
Jumps are used to represent directional links which are not displayed in full length.
Jumps can be placed in any free cell.
If a jump is placed in a cell that is already occupied by an object, an error message is returned.
If a jump is placed in a cell where the neighboring cell above already contains a step, an error message is returned because a transition must be placed between a step and a jump (see also section Connection rules in the Reference manual).
A jump which is placed always connects automatically with the neighboring objects above if there are no free cells between them.
