8.5. Connecting blocks
Right port of one block can only be connected to left port of another block. Left port of one block can
however be connected to either right port of another block or to an existing connection.
Start connecting the blocks by clicking on one of the empty ports (a port that can accept a connection
will be highlighted in green). You can then either drag the connection to another port and release the
mouse button or release the button immediately and click again on the destination block's port.
In order to route the connection around other blocks to improve the readability of the diagram,
intermediate points can be added to the connection. Just click on an empty space while dragging the
connection and an intermediate point will appear. Based on the connection profile, the connection will
pass the intermediate point in either vertical or horizontal direction. To move the intermediate point,
complete the connection, click on the intermediate point and drag it into the correct position.
Due to the properties of the block diagrams, left port (input) of each block can be connected to only one
right port (output) of another (or the same) block. However, each output can be connected to multiple
inputs. PoBlocks uses these rules and refuses a connection that breaks them.
1. Start at source port
2. Drag the connection
3. End at destination block
