When you double-click a toolgraph in the project tree, or create a new toolgraph, the following window is displayed.
The window contains three resizable panes:
List of groups of PChannels. Each group sends its messages to a particular configuration of tools. Right-click in this area to display a shortcut menu. To add a group, click Insert PChannel Group. To change the composition of an existing group, right-click the group and click Add/Remove PChannels. For more information, see Add/Remove PChannels Dialog Box.
List of tool configurations. To add a column for a tool, drag the tool from the Tool Palette. To select an instance of a tool, click the name of the tool at the top of the column in the toolgraph pane. Right-click to display a shortcut menu for managing the list of tool instances.
More than one instance of a tool can be placed in a toolgraph; by default, instances are named by adding a number to the name in the Tool Palette.
To activate the tool for a PChannel group, click the rectangle in the tool column that is on the same row as the PChannel group.
Messages pass through active tools in order, from left to right.
List of tools registered on the system. No tools are provided with DirectMusic Producer, so this area might be blank.
The following figure shows a toolgraph with tools assigned to four different PChannel groups. Blue rectangles indicate that a tool is active for that PChannel group.
