Restrictions when creating connections [message #197874]

Hi,

What are the restrictions when we will create connections among nodes? I
mean in plain draw2D, not considering GEF stuff.
I'm asking this question because I haven't managed yet to add connections
among the nodes of my application. What would be the correct approach?
I have one big Figure with all my nodes(other Figures).
Do I have to create one outer figure and then add the big figure and
another figure just for connections? Is there any restriction on layouts
of the connection figure?

Thank you

Cleverson Schmidt

Most people put the connections on a layer above the "big figure" so that
z-order is easily maintained.
