Peter,
I suppose you are talking user interface design here?
I can see a few different possibilities...
1).
Two list boxes, each containing one group of values. To connect two
values, select one in each box and press the button labeled "Connect".
The two list box items then change colour (from being white, they
become, say, gray). To make a new connection, click on another item in
the first list box (at which point the already connected item in the
second list box is deselected) and another one in the right and press
connect.
If at this point the user clicks on the item he first connected to
another item, they will _both_ hilight, so that the user can inspect
already completed connections.
The user's job of connecting the items is done when all items in both
list boxes are gray.
2).
Connecting the items with lines. Each item has a small square next to
it. When that is clicked, and dragged, a line appears, like the outlet
/ action connectors in IB. Drag the line to an item in the other column
and drop it. The line will then stay visible (but perhaps is a slightly
more transparent colour).
Just brainstorming...Perhaps there is a more obvious design for
this...Good luck!
/ Sincerely, David Remahl

Dear list!
I have 2 groups with 64 values in each group. I want to connect a
position from group 1 to a position in group 2. Example: 1 to 32, 45
to 8, 12 to 22 and son on. I want to make this easy to understand.
Under the hood I suppose I use a NSDictionary but what is the best
design (graphically) for this? Any ideas?
Peter
