Hi,
Is it possible to create a border that is a combination of lines and some
shapes for a figure? Below is an example of a border that I would like to
create:
________________________________
| |
| |
| |
|_____ /\_________ _ _ ____/\____|
------>/__\ \/----->
The arrow to the triangle and from the diamond indicate that a
connection could exist from another element to the border and/or from the
border to another element.

It would be nice if we could define the metaphor for this type of thing. =
Other IBM applications use a shape like this:
+-----\
| \
| /
+-----/
Which appear on the right or left side. It is the same shape in either =
case, but for outgoing the "tip" is pointed outside the shape.
Remember that a figures bounds has to encompass everything that will be =
painted. So, your bounds will be slightly larger than the box around =
the figure, since the shape hangs outside of the box. If you don't like =
where selection handles end up as a result of this, implement the =
interface HandleBounds.
