[openrtm-users 01017] Re: About automatically components connection

[Masayuki Shimizu]

Hello, 

> Can I connect to each components automatically??

You can save port connections and restore them 
by a simple mouse operation. 
This function is provided by RtcLink. 
Check the pop-up menu opened by right click 
on the system diagram. 

If you do not like it, you have to make a program. 
But, port connection program may not be easy to 
implement because you have to handle corba operations.

> Should I consider something in implementation step??

No. RT-Component implementation and port connection 
are different issues.

Yes. Data type of a data port has to be 
statically defined. Ports associated with 
different data types cannot be connected.

Sorry, I do not understand the meaning of these questions.

Please give more detailed explanations.
