Figures in Flows

Figures within flows have some special features and behaviors to support this common usage. A flow is a sequence of figures connected by connectors such that the connector enters a figure, then exits it, enters another, exits that one, and so on. Flows commonly represent sequences of operations and hierarchies of relationships.

You do not need to identify a flow. The program will recognize these relationships and behave accordingly. For definition purposes, a figure is considered to belong to a flow if it has two attached connectors of the same style. Several features make it very easy to add a new figure at any point in a flow, remove a figure from a flow, or re-arrange the figures of a flow.

During the normal process of adding a figure to a LanFlow diagram, you can insert it into an existing flow by dropping it on a connector.
