Allowed Links
Sometimes it is not possible to make a link between a pair of connectors. When this happens the mouse cursor will change to show this.
In general links can be made only between connectors of
the same type. However, there are several exceptions to
this. For example, Floats and Ints can be connected so
can Floats and Stream connectors. A complete
description of all these exceptions can be found in
Chapter Converting Between Data Types on page 78.
Moving a Link
You can move the end of a link from the input connector to another input connector on the same component. You can also move it to an input
connector on a completely different component.
To move a link:
1. Move the mouse pointer over the input
connector where the link ends. The
cursor will change to the linking pointer.
2. Click and hold. You'll see a dotted outline confirming that you've picked up the
link that you wanted.
3. Drag the link to another input connector and release the mouse
button.
