SYNOPSIS

use Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Connection;

DESCRIPTION

This module is internal to Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView. Connections are instantiated by Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView. This module is responsible for drawing the connecting lines between Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Items onto the canvas.

The Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Connection is an observer. It registers with the view items so that it may be notified when a view item's state changes.

INTERFACE

Properties

'arrows' (string : readable / writable)

Indicates whether arrows should be drawn. Possible values are: none, one-way, and two-way.

'predecessor_item' (Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Item : readable / writable)

The item at which this connection starts.

'item' (Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Item : readable / writable)

The item at which this connection ends.

Methods

INIT_INSTANCE

This subroutine is called by Glib::Object::Subclass as the object is being instantiated. You should not call this subroutine directly. Leave it alone.

SET_PROPERTY

This subroutine is called by Glib::Object::Subclass when a property is being set. You should not call this subroutine directly. Leave it alone. Instead call the set method to assign values to properties.

connect

Connect the Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Connection to the items it observes.

disconnect

Disconnect the Gtk2::Ex::MindMapView::Connection from the items it observes.

DIAGNOSTICS

    None.

DEPENDENCIES

None.

BUGS and LIMITATIONS

    Error message from libart "*** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice" occurs when drawing 'two-way' arrows.

    With 'two-way' arrows the arrow pointing back to the predecessor item is partially covered by the toggle.
