OK. So one way means one of them is the owner of the connection?

sure

there is always one owner which can have multiple children

each child can be a owner for other kids

OK. Would children be rendred below parents?

(think of a maven dependency tree or in this case the creation of something in Factorio

yes, in my case always

Is this a tree, or can there be multiple root nodes?

tree, remember this one? [Imgur]()

Sounds fun to create this. Wish I had the time right now. Promised myself I would write documentation 🙂

And there is there no such JavaFX component right now?

nope

Sweet. Gotta do this soon.

hee I am working on it too 😉

@ron Does the resizing of the StackPane interfere with selecting items underneath? If you select to the right or the left of the red dot, can you pick something below?

I dont think I understand what you mean

the stackpane is only used to hold the rectangle, text and circle

will there be items underneath the rectangle, text and circle? Maybe other triples?

Figured out my issue with the Form. I cant nest fieldsets into fieldsets apparently.

below them yes

@User uploaded a file:

like this

(clearly the line has issues)

each box, text and circle are in a pane

@thomasnield Ah, that's right! We could allow it if it makes sense?

So this Vertex thing should be driven by `TreeItem`s possibly?

(too many chat apps up)

@ron What kind of interaction do you need to do? Move around, or just static? Click to select, stuff like that?

@edvin There is yFiles.... it's commercial https://www.yworks.com/products/yfiles-for-javafx

@edvin I think it would because I had a need for it, although I did do without just to get it out the door.
