# ConnectTool(3)

tool for connecting connectors

## NAME

ConnectTool - tool for connecting connectors

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<Unidraw/Tools/connect.h\>**

## DESCRIPTION

ConnectTool lets the user establish a connection between two connectors by direct manipulation.

## PUBLIC OPERATIONS

- **ConnectTool(ControlInfo\* = nil)**

  Create a new ConnectTool.

- **virtual Manipulator\* CreateManipulator(**

  - **Viewer\*, Event&, Transformer\***

  - **)**

  - **virtual void InterpretManipulator(Manipulator\*)**

  CreateManipulator detects whether the user clicked on a connector.  If so, it delegates manipulator creation to that connector, and InterpretManipulator in turn delegates interpretation to the same connector.  CreateManipulator clears the editor's selection and returns a nil value if the user did not click on a connector.
