Adding Shapes to a Diagram

Create streams, windows, and shared components, relate them using continuous queries, and attach them to adapters.

  1. Open a diagram in the Visual editor.
  2. Click a shape tool in the Palette (Input Window, Flex, and so on), then click an empty area in the diagram.
    This creates the new shape in the diagram. Red borders indicate that the shape definition is incomplete or incorrect. When a shape definition is complete, the border changes to gray.
    Note: Do not try to drag-and-drop from the Palette into the diagram.
  3. To view actions needed to complete a shape definition, hover the mouse over the shape in the diagram.
