Sorry, but i not speaking english.
I am working in an graphical interface and like conditions.
I want to use connector but i have the identical questions.

I want to define graphics composite in Unidraw for direct
manipulation.
I read to news week ago, it say how to do but I not
understand completely.
Thanks.
Now at my native languaje.
Yo tengo las mismas dudas que se plantean, tambien he tenido problemas
para definir componentes de Unidraw que son Graficos estructurados
a los cuales posteriormente quiero hacer click sobre ellos y que
me aparezca una ventana de dialogo.
Un ejemplo sencillo y peque~o me seria muy util para comprender
como se definen las nuevas subclases de GraphicComp/GraphicView y
su operacion de Update.
