MAKING CONNECTIONS
Connections are made between an appropriate source and destination attribute
pair while in the Connect Mode. Connections can be visible or wireless as
described in Section 4.24 and Section 4.25. The process of selecting
connection points depends upon the type of connection you are using and
where you are in your strategy in relationship to the points being connected.
Connections are made between readable (source) and writable (destination)
attributes (see Section 5.7 for a description of special connections and rules
for all block inputs). The examples below illustrate some typical connection
processes.
