To create a module, select its name from one of the package (e.g., SCIRun) menus' category sub-menus. Package menus are accessed from the main window's menu bar or from the NetEdit frame's pop-up menu. The NetEdit frame's pop-up menu is activated by pressing Button3 (right mouse button) while the mouse pointer is in the NetEdit frame (but not over a module or connection). The pop-up menu contains a list of category sub-menus from the SCIRun package and other installed packages. Each category sub-menu provides access to modules within the category.
After creating a module, its glyph (or graphic representation--see Figure 5.1) is placed in the NetEdit frame.
