5.26 Editing a Sub-Network

The sub-network editor is activated by pressing a sub-network's editor button. The sub-network editor works similarly to the NetEdit window. All network editing features of the NetEdit window are available in the sub-network editor--modules can be created, connections can be made, etc. See Figure 5.4.

Sub-networks have input and/or output ports. These are created in the sub-network editor. Sub-network input ports are created by making a connection between the input port of a module (in the sub-network) and the top edge of the sub-network editor window. Sub-network output ports are created by making a connection between the output port of a module (in the sub-network) and the bottom edge of the sub-network editor window.

A sub-network can be renamed by entering its new name into the Name text entry widget.
