Surely you can see what sort of thing happens 
simply by trying out the various forms and 
dragging the connected items around? The standard 
connector appears to use only horizontal and 
vertical element, whereas the line connector allows diagonal elements.

o Click the down-arrow next to the Connector icon 
in the Drawing toolbar to bring up the Connectors toolbar.
o Drag the toolbar off its parent using the bar at its base.
o Click the down-arrow in the Connectors toolbar 
and use Visible Buttons > or Customise Toolbar... 
to vary the options shown. Note that Straight and 
Curved Connectors are also available.

Alternatively, right-click an existing connector 
and go to Connector... . You can change the type 
there, as well as making detailed modifications.

I trust this helps.
