Diplomacy Connectors
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Nodes in a Diplomacy graph are connected to each other with edges. The Diplomacy
|
|
library provides four operators that can be used to form edges between nodes.
|
|
|
|
:=
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
This is the basic connection operator. It is the same syntax as the Chisel
|
|
uni-directional connector, but it is not equivalent. This operator connects
|
|
Diplomacy nodes, not Chisel bundles.
|
|
|
|
The basic connection operator always creates a single edge between the two
|
|
nodes.

----
|
|
|
|
This is a "query" type connection operator. It can create multiple edges
|
|
between nodes, with the number of edges determined by the client node
|
|
(the node on the right side of the operator). This can be useful if you
|
|
are connecting a multi-edge client to a nexus node or adapter node.

----
|
|
|
|
This is a "star" type connection operator. It also creates multiple edges,
|
|
but the number of edges is determined by the manager (left side of operator),
|
|
rather than the client. It's useful for connecting nexus nodes to multi-edge
|
|
manager nodes.

|
|
------
|
|
|
|
This is a "flex" connection operator. It creates multiple edges based on
|
|
whichever side of the operator has a known number of edges. This can be used
|
|
in generators where the type of node on either side isn't known until runtime.
