Connection suggestion [message #122186] Sun, 14 March 2004 01:00 Go to next message

Hi all,

I think it would make life a lot easier if Figures (or perhaps a subclass,
NodeFigures) held a member ArrayList containing their ConnectionAnchors,
the names of the anchors, their relative positions, and orientations (IN,
OUT, or BOTH). It just seems that there has to be an easier way of
managing these objects than what's currently available. Just a thought.

Also, I missed Randy's request for assistance. If he would be so kind as
to re-post or reply, I'll pay greater attention.

That is exactly what I am doing in my application. My figures (which
were based upon the logic example) has a vector of source and target
anchors. No reason why it couldn't be an ArrayList. The anchors
themselves know their own position.

We need to reduce rather than increase the number of fields in Figure.
