Change Graph Layout/Direction and Connectors from Curved to Straight?? about visioautomation HOT 4 OPEN

Note: I tried using variations of the following but the page does NOT change:

$ls.LayoutDirection = "TopToBottom"
$ls.ConnectorStyle = "RightAngle"
$ls.ConnectorAppearance = "Straight"
Format-VisioPage -LayoutStyle $ls

I test that Format-VisioPage worked by using -Orientation and changing it back and forth from Landscape and Portrait.

Also, is the XML custom to this application? I cannot find documentation for the formatting of the XML anywhere. Anything close to the language doesn't seem to work. Another example, Attempting to add a subshape. Sorry for all the questions, and I appreciate any help you can provide.

I noticed "Get-VisioScriptingClient" fails out as it claims the function doesn't exist. I installed 4.2 but had the same issues. I then removed the entire Visio Module and installed version 3.4. Now Get-VisioScriptingClient works but I still have the same issues as my previous comments.

If I don't use the XML and instead use .AddShape and .AddConnection, I am able to change the layouts as need be with the Format-VisioPage function. I do wish that I had an answer for the XML as that would be ideal. Thanks again.
