Editing Connection Pins

The IlvPinEditorInteractor class lets the user interactively edit the connection pins of a grapher node. When this interactor is active, selecting a node will highlight its connection pins, as shown in Highlighted Connection Pins:

Highlighted Connection Pins

Once a grapher node is selected, you can:

  • Add a new connection pin by clicking inside the node.

  • Remove a connection pin. To do this, select the pin with the mouse and press the Delete key.

  • Move an existing connection pin. To do this, select the pin with the mouse and drag it to its desired location.

  • Connect and disconnect links to or from a pin. To do this, first select a connection pin, and then click the considered link.

Note

If the working node is already associated with a pin management object, this object must be of the IlvGenericPin type. If the node does not define any connection pin, then an IlvGenericPin instance is automatically created.
