Blocks<br />
<strong>Graphical</strong> programming blocks are the fundamental objects used to write<br />
a program in the TGP editor. Each block serves a specific purpose. Connecting<br />
these blocks in a given arrangement determines how the program<br />
behaves. A program consists of a combination of graphical programming<br />
blocks connected to perform a logical task.<br />
Figure 3 illustrates the basic structure of a graphical programming block.<br />
Theconnectionpointsontheleftsideoftheblockarecalledinputports.<br />
Input ports pass data into the block. Connections on the right side of the<br />
block are called output ports. Output ports pass data out of the block.<br />
