Modules
Template Connectors
The connectors for the Module Input and Module Output components are
what we call Template Connectors. These have no defined type. There are
two ways you can assign a type to a template connector:
1. Automatically pick up the type from another connector by creating a
link to that connector.
2. Set the type explicitly by right-clicking on the connector and choosing
the type from the context menu.
Input and Output Names
If you give your inputs and outputs names then these will be displayed when you select your module. In addition, input names will be
automatically displayed on the module body itself.
If you want to be even more complete you can provide both short and long descriptions. To do this you need to name the module input or
output component in the form <long name>\n<short name>. So for example, the label “Maximum height of rectangle\nmaxh” would give an
input or output a short name of “maxh” and a long name of “Maximum height of rectangle”.
