Blocks
Graphical programming blocks are the fundamental objects used to write
a program in the TGP editor. Each block serves a specific purpose. Con-
necting these blocks in a given arrangement determines how the program
behaves. A program consists of a combination of graphical programming
blocks connected to perform a logical task.
Figure 44 illustrates the basic structure of a graphical programming
block. The connection points on the left side of the block are called input
ports. Input ports pass data into the block. Connections on the right side
of the block are called output ports. Output ports pass data out of the
block.
