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
