Figure 10: Forming transitions graphically
Moving control points of a transition
To change the path of a selected curved transition click and drag the control point to its new
position.
Removing control points from a transition
To remove one of its control points, select the transition with the left mouse button, click on
the control point that is to be removed and then delete using Edit | Delete or the DEL
key.
The two control points at the beginning and the end of the transition arrow may not be moved or
deleted.
4.11 Reconnecting transitions
Transitions have to be connected to both a source and a target object to be valid. It is not
possible to “disconnect” an individual transition and to reinsert it at another point.
However, the source object and the target object that belongs to a transition may still be
exchanged once a transition has been created.
Changing the source object of a transition
Select the transition that should be reconnected. The transition and all its control points will
then be displayed in blue. Now select the control point (which thereby turns red), that is next to
the object from where the transition starts (an initial node, junction or state). Drag the mouse
pointer to the new source object. Release the mouse button to complete connection to the
new source object.
Changing the target object of a transition
This is the same as for changing source object: click and drag the arrowhead to the new target
object, then release.
