I have the following LaTeX file:
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{er,positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[auto,node distance=1.5cm]
\node[entity] (node1) {Fancy Node One};
\node[relationship] (rel1) [right = of node1] {has};
\node[entity] (node2) [right = of rel1] {Fancy Node Two};
\path (rel1) edge node {1} (node1)
edge node {n} (node2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
When I render it it looks like this:
Is it possible to a) omit the "diamond" symbol entirely and b) control placement of "1" and "n"? What I want in this particular example is to have the "1" above the line, and both "1" and "n" closer to the nodes -- basically, this:
(Not sure if this would be regarded as valid ER diagram notation, but that's a separate concern.)
If it's not possible or impractical with TikZ and/or er
, I'm open to suggestions for other LaTeX packages suitable for making ER diagrams. (If it is possible, I'd also appreciate pointers to documentation on this.)

Quick hack:
\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{er,positioning}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[auto,node distance=1.5cm]
\node[entity] (node1) {Fancy Node One};
\node[entity] (node2) [right = 3cm of node1] {Fancy Node Two};
\draw (node1.east) -- (node2.west);
\node[anchor=south west] at (node1.east) {1};
\node[anchor=south east] at (node2.west) {n};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
