Hallo!
<nbx ID="nbx1"/> <obj ID="obj1">print <connect> <from ID="nbx1"/> </connect> </obj>
But in this bottom-up approach the number box of this example must be created before the print ! (as we spoke about yeterday) So you can't simple put the objects on the empty canvas and then connect them (of course you can do that too, but i think this is more complicated ?)
<connect inlet="3"> <from ID="obj1" outlet="1"> <from ID="obj2" outlet="0"> </connect> looks somewhat ok to me (although i am not sure whether it is bad style to have an "ID"-argument that is a reference rather than the id of the connection.
what about name ? : <connect inlet="3"> <from name="obj1" outlet="1"> <from name="obj2" outlet="0"> </connect>
and this reminds me, that probably connections really should have an id, so you could e.g. delete them directly (like "dyn")
like this: <nbx ID="nbx1"/> <obj ID="obj1">print <connect ID="blabla" inlet="0"> <from ID="nbx1" outlet="0"/> </connect> </obj>
but which advantages has this approach? You could also go to the object and delete the connection (and in the bottom-up style the object would be the one under the connection). And if you give labels to the connections you also have to remeber these if you are writing a patch in an editor (so that you don't use one label multiple times).
