The reason I was thinking of SVG image format is the connection points
could easily be defined as an ID# of the SVG image. So if you had a
rectangle as a connection point, like this, <rect style="fill:blue;fill-rule:evenodd;stroke:black;stroke-width:1px;stroke-linecap:butt;stroke-linejoin:miter;stroke-opacity:1" id="rect1872" width="34.285713" height="16.71428" x="288.57144" y="320.93362" /> then in the XML you would have, contact1 = "rect1872" And so on....... Obviously I don't know anything about OOP and all this, but if my ideas help to distill good methods that's all I want! Alan Grimes wrote: ugh. I'm looking at what it would take to make a "load component from XML" method for class component and I'm reminded that I had made a bunch of robustness enhancements to something in that part of the source tree but I forgot which class it was in. something about removing a cached pointer in favor of an accessor method to eliminate the possibility of a certain type of pointer bug and in order to make the debugging output more readable.. where'dIputthatcode....I've also started sketching out a prototype XML format. |
